Zone Conference, Yea !!

hello family,
the email is coming out a bit late because yesterday we had zone conference. everyone from kuching, and then all the missionaries from sibu came down too. basically, it was awesome. so last month at mission conference, it was pretty heavy training and new material, so at zone conference, it was more doctrinal. One thing that he talked about was angels, and i had never thought about it before, but the book of Mormon has so many stories with angelic visitations. it is practically riddled with them. So it was a really cool thing to study and to hear about all of those stories again. when i have time that is something that would be awesome to study from the book of Mormon. recently i have been stressing out about numbers and getting mad at leaders for getting worried about my numbers, and that is exactly what they talked about at zone conference. usually after people have a couple of baptisms they go through this famine so to speak when they are 'rebuilding their area'. and then they showed us how you can see this coming from your numbers. and then they told us how we can see it and avoid it, all using our numbers. i seriously felt like my eyes were opened, like i am just barely learning how to really do missionary work, and now i know why numbers are important. i think we will change the way we do missionary work, and it is pretty exciting. i don't know if it is that interesting to read about, but we are pretty excited about it.

sister lim and i are getting along really great. we recently found this grocery store where that has everything we love, and everything is cheaper! the night we found this out, we were practically dancing around the store. we were on our bikes, so we kept saying things like, 'later, we'll come back later for it' and 'we can come back everyday!' since we eat at home all the time (sister lim cooks, yum) we have all this money, so grocery shopping is really fun for us. but yeah, we are having fun and trying to work really hard too. if things go right, we should have a lot of baptisms coming up next month, and hopefully, every week after that if we can get this consistency thing down.

i love you family, i pray for you!
