Transfer 6, week 3 (Aug 30, 2010)

Hi everyone!
Ok, let's see, what happened this week......it's really nice having a
planner, I don't really have to think too hard about what to write about, haha. So, we had zone leader council on Tuesday--all of the zone leaders are new, so that was really interesting....especially since all of the companions have been to at least one other zone leader council. So, that was fun.....president is really expecting all of us to get standard, which is understandable, it's just kind of stressful for the zone leaders, because he was really stressing how they need to be examples and pretty much get standard every week.....so, we'll be really working as hard as we can in the coming weeks.
Other than that.....not too much stuff throughout the week......had some good programs, got quite a few finds from tracting, got a lot of working hours for this week.......not too bad, but we did have some time that could have been used more effectively......so yeah. Sunday was really really great though--church was great, especially the third hour--the elders quorum and the relief society all met together in the chapel, and the branch president gave a little lesson/training on pass-along cards. There was a little article out of one of the Liahonas or something, so I think they did similar lessons all over the country. It was so great, and I think it really showed the members how easy member-missionary work really is. You just give a card
to someone who you think will actually take the time to look at it and might be interested. That's all they have to do. Plus, you can get free stuff--who doesn't want free stuff? haha. But seriously, it was a really great little lesson thingy, and everyone took some cards to pass out to their friends and other people. It was really encouraging, just because this is the kind of thing that we missionaries are always talking about--we always want the members to help, and then finally they hear it from the branch president and everyone understands. So yeah, that was really cool. Hopefully we should be
seeing a lot of success with that.
Other than that.....let's see....this week, we'll be in Budapest from Tuesday morning until Thursday afternoon....there's a big training we're doing so we can learn all of the new stuff that they're teaching in the MTC. I'm super excited for it, it sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. So, I'll be sure to report on that next week.
Well, I think that's about it...I hope you all have a great week! You're all awesome!
