Checking In

Hey everyone.

So not much has happened since the last time I wrote. We had a pretty standard weekend. Normally, we try and save Saturday for proselyting, but unfortunately, we had to come in so I could finish a couple things for this week. That's a big thing that we are working on right now- making sure that our proselyting is our priority and not the office work.

That's something that I want to try focusing on, because as of right now, I kind of have the mindset that when I receive a new job or that there is something that needs to get done, then I need to do it right then. If I do that every time though, then we would almost never leave the office. So one focus I have right now is on prioritizing.

I don't know if anyone saw my post on Facebook, but we are starting something in our mission called The Book of Mormon translation challenge. It's basically an effort to read The Book of Mormon in the same time period during the same dates that Joseph Smith took to translate it. We have already started, and I'm loving it. I'm doing a chart that starts in Mosiah where Joseph Smith started translating. I love you guys and hope you have a great week, and that you can make time to try and do this challenge, too!

Mom wanted this clarification: My first zone was the Madrid West Zone; then my next was Las Plamas Zone, then the Santiago Zone, now I'm in the Madrid East Zone. My current area is called San Sebastian de Los Reyes or Sanse for short,
