Hey! It sounds like your guys´ week has been pretty fun and crazy!

My week was pretty awesome as well. We went to Xela for a ZL conference and it was really good. President Bautista is very "by the book" and it is great because President Lorenzana was definitely not that way and I felt like the mission was pretty crazy and sporadic and nobody really knew what was going on. But now that we are doing what everything says in Preach my Gospel and everything, everything is going a lot more smoothly. Elder Bennion and I put on a Zone Conference for our Zone on Wednesday and, anyway, it was way powerful. I am really excited about President Bautista.

Something else that is going on right now is that President Bautista is cleaning the mission. He has lately been sending a lot of missionaries home for fornicating and some other stuff. So, as zone leaders, we have had to search the houses of a lot of the missionaries to look for pornography and movies and music and personal cell phones and other stuff like that. I kind of came in in a kind of stinky time to be a zone leader because of all the things and changes going on and it´s hard to be everyone´s friend when you are searching their houses and enforcing new rules. But whatever, I guess. God knows what he is doing.

I haven´t seen the temple in a little while but when I was back in Xela, My house was actually in a neighborhood called "Vista Bella" which means beautiful view and there you had a really good view of the temple. They are going to be dedicating in on the 11th of December and they are going to be having the open house of the temple starting on the 11th of November because they wanted to do it after the elections which will finally be finished on the 11th of September. 11,11,11. That is how I remember all of those dates. But it is going to have 2 levels and will be really beautiful. So I am excited for it.

We are working with a couple of maybe positive investigators right now too. They all said that they were going to go to church yesterday so I don´t know how positive they actually are and we may have to drop them soon if they don´t start shaping up but we´ll see how everything goes with that. We are planning activities like crazy to try and find new investigators. So we will see how everything goes with that.

But I have to go.

Have a great week!
