This week was crazy!!! It seemed like everyday we had something new and crazy going on! We had a super fun Zone activity! Me and my comp put together an "amazing race" like we use to do for those FHEs once a year, and it was a huge success!
Then we had to go to an MLC meeting with Pres. Gonzalez of the 70 who came to do a mission tour. Thursday we had an exchange with the elders in Salinas. They are struggling a little bit with the ward there, but we were able to give them some good ideas to try to improve and do better. Then Friday we had a zone conference with Pres. Gonzalez. It went well. I had to get up and do a small presentation of an application of a principle in PMG, it was weird. I didn't know I was going to have to do it, President just called me out in the moment and made me give it! So I was nervous and thought I messed up bad, but it ended all well.
Elder Gonzalez dropped some good missionary work bombs that are going to help us a lot as a mission! One of those things was to work more with jovenes (youth), the rising generation. He promised more success for working closer with them - both in teaching non-member youth and in strengthening the youth members.
So the next day we went and tried to apply it a little and we took all of the YM/YW in the ward to do a Book of Mormon experiment. Idk if y'all have seen these, they made a few YouTube videos about them. Basically Pres. gives us permission to dress like regular people and take off our name tag so that people don't recognize us. Then we take a page of the book of Mormon attached to a questionnaire to public places and ask people to read the page and fill out the questionnaire as part of an "experiment" (but mostly its just to have people read the Book of Mormon without knowing what book it is!) Then after we talk to them, we contact them about missionary visits if they have any interest! So all of the Jovenes in the ward went out and did this with us. It was super fun and successful! Then we had a good stake conference yesterday. It was fun, even if none of our investigators showed up though. So we have a lot of inviting to repentance to do this week, like most weeks!
That's life right now, I hope all is good back home,
Love you all!
Elder Bailey
