Zone Conference and a busy, busy week

The work is done!

Haha just kidding. But that's what we kind of feel like. This week was crazy! We didn't even have a full day in our area this week. But we're excited for this upcoming week because we have NOTHING going on =]

Alright, so this week. We'll start on TuesdayTuesday we had our zone training, where all of the missionaries in our zone get together and then we all talk about what happened at MLC. The best part? Sister Sia and I got to give a workshop. We were so nervous! But it actually went pretty well. We talked about committing people to read the Book of Mormon and go to church and why those are so hard. After zone training, Sister Sia and I went on exchanges with two sisters in our house. One of them was sick, and so they hadn't worked for about 5 days or so. I stayed home with the one that was sick and Sister Sia took the other one to their area. It was a bit boring just at home, but we got a lot of cleaning done =]

Wednesday was zone conference. Actually, it was way good! We had two zones get together, and then the APs, ZLs and President all gave workshops. And then Sister Sia and I gave another workshop! We were even more nervous for this one because President and his wife were there, and there were a lot more missionaries. But again, it went well. This time we talked about using the new pass-along cards that we got. We learned a lot during the conference! We talked a lot about the plan of salvation and using time wisely. And then I got a cupcake for my birthday! (They give out cupcakes for birthdays when we have zone conference every 3 months.)

Wednesday night and Thursday, we had exchanges! I got to go on exchanges with a fantastic sister. Sister Pullicar is the best! She's so tiny, but she has a strong personality. And she's a fantastic missionary. 

On Thursday night and Friday, we had exchanges again! This time I got to go with Sister Cagicaucau. She is also another fantastic missionary. She's from Fiji and it was cool to go with her! I had a lot of memories coming back from my training when I went with her =]

Speaking of training, Sister Wilwand got to say goodbye to Sister Lavador (her follow-up trainer) who is finishing her mission and heading home.


On Saturday, we were supposed to do a service project, but it was raining. So we went our to our area, and nobody was there. And we didn't have anyone to work with because all of the relief society had an activity. So we just came back home and did our weekly planning instead.

On Sunday, we had church and then some meetings with some of the church leaders.

It was a full week!! But it was a good one too. I learned a lot this week from workshops and our exchanges. But we're also excited to have a full week in our area. We're going to visit all of the people that we possibly can. It's going to be great.

I love you all, and I hope you're all doing well!! I know that this work is true, and I know that this church is the true church of Jesus Christ.

Ingat kayo!

Love,
Sister Wilwand

Eastern Washington (and Utah!) may seem a bit dry when she comes home after this!
