A recap of our Mother's Day skype

im sorry to say that i dont have a lot more to tell you all, after seeing you yesterday, but i will try to squeeze some more juice out of our last week. first of all, happy mothers day to all the mothers that i know, and didnt have the chance to congradulate.
well one thing that i didnt mention much about was zone leader council that we had on thursday. it was really good to be in cuernavaca during some of the hottest days in acapulco.... it was nice and cloudy and breezy for the whole day we were there, and i really want to go back... but its ok, the heat is somewhat bareable and also there is a reason the lord has me here. during council, we talked about the preparations for zone conference, and also the mission conference with president rasband of the presidency of the seventy. in the zone conferences, we will have the roll of teaching the missionaries how to find, and make them effecient finders. we also watched a wonderful movie about elder holland talking to the new elders in the mtc in january, and teaching them about why the church changed the missionary program to preach my gospel. it was mainly to get the missionaries themselves converted also, because many of them were serving, but not staying active afterwards. he taught of the importance of being able to follow the spirit and teach what the person needs, and not just a memorized lesson. the movie was so great, that we are also going to watch it in the zone conferences so that all the misisonaries can watch it too.
during the other days of the week, we didnt get a whole lot done. we found 9 nuevos in this week and the majority of them probably arent going to progress, but we did challenge them to a baptismal date, and also to go to church, but it just didnt work out, so we will have to check with them in this next week and see who is willing to progress. but at least we did have 6 investigators that went to church, but the sad thing is that not one of them will be baptized this week. the ones we were hoping on to get baptized this week, didnt go.... so we will have to wait, but we still expect them in this month. also we are really trying to lift up the zone, and teach the district leaders how to lead, so everyone can be lifted up. it is a long and slow process, but we are getting there. we really have so much potential, but some people are in a hard time of their mission, others are new and learning, and others have forgotten how, so we need to teach on all levels of the board.
one thing that i thought was funny, elder miller talked to his family also yesterday, and his dad told him that the new york giants had tried to put him in the draft with out his parents permission, which was odd, because he hasnt thrown a ball in two years. they also won the world series last year, so it would be cool if he went with the, but he says he wouldnt unless they offered him millions of dollars, because he still wnats to studdy and have fun at byu on the team.
well its about time to go, and im sorry its not much of a letter, but its just that not a ton has been going on. i also wanted to give a shout out to anna and clarissa rees that have been my faithful (not immediate family) writers and for your nice letters i got this last week. hope all is well, and that the rain stops for you and comes down to me! love you all. take care
