Hello Family

Well this week has been extremely eventful and just like every day in the mission a learning experience.  On Tuesday we had a meeting with the zone leaders and surprise surprise the assistants came without letting anybody know beforehand.  Apart from that one of them came with me for the day.  So i had a surprise visit from the assistants on Tuesday and he stayed with me until 11 in the morning on Wednsday.  He told me on Tuesday that i needed to go to a meeting for all the zone leaders in the mission the next day.  So the next day i got together with the zone leaders from here and we went to Lima together.  We got there at about 8 at night and had time to go out to dinner.  The mission office is in the richest part of Lima.  Everybody that has money lives in this part and if they have money they have a lot of money.  So all the restaurants in this area were super expensive.  We went to a mexican restaurant and payed a ton of money for a tiny bit of food.  The wierd part was there was more english speaking people in
the restaurant than spanish speaking.  It was really wierd.  Im not used to being around other people that speak english.  That night we stayed with the office elders in their house.  They have an entire floor of a skyscraper as their house.  So it was cool to be able to look down on the city from up high.  The next morning we left super early and went to the temple.  The temple was fantastic like always. I enjoyed it very much.  After that we had a zone leaders council. And for lunch we had pizza hut! that was awsome.  It was a really interesting experience and i learned a lot.  

On Saturday night the changes came and more than half the zone left.  In one of the areas president took out both of the elders and put in two new ones.  It was really crazy and im not exactly sure how its gonna work but we will make it work.  We have a lot of work cut out for us this change to get things going here.  Im hoping that we can get the work going here because its been dead for about 6 months now.  To complicate things more im not even companions with the other Zone leader.  Im not exactly sure how thats going to work but its going to be a little
difficult.  On saturday two of our investigators got married.  It was stressful trying to put their reception together but everything turned out really good.   And at least,  they are now married.  Well thats been my life this week hope everything is going well for you miss you
all and love you and happy mothers day!
