September 15, 2014- Keep Your Arrows Out!

What's up?!
What can I say about this week?  It was great!  Kind of bittersweet though.  But first let me talk about Zone conferences.  It was so awesome having Elder Zwick in the mission.  I really felt the spirit during that meeting.  Not only from Elder Zwicks training but from the trainings given by President and Sister Hanks too.  They all talked a lot about progress.  Missionary work all has to do with progress.  The progress of others.  President Hanks always says we need to keep our arrows out!  Meaning we need to focus on others all the time instead of focusing in on ourselves.  We will be much happier that way and we will find that as we focus on others progression we will progress more than we ever thought we could.  Those were just some of the highlights for me of Zone conference.  Later that night Elder Zwick had a fireside with all of the ward council members in the stake.  It was all about finding and preparing people (friends, family, co workers...) to be taught.  It was an awesome fireside and since then we have been getting a lot of referrals!  It's great.  
So the bittersweet news... After 6 months in Fort Payne I guess it's time for me to get going!  I really feel like I learned so much from this area.  I know that an area is what you make it, depending on your attitude and the work you put in to it.  It's going to be sad saying goodbye to everyone.  I'll miss it.  I will let yall know where I end up later this week and who my new companion is.  I love yall and hope you have a fantastic week!
