Miercoles: Multi zone conference with Elder Zwick!! It was held in San Clemente, so we got to go on a little roadtrip and it was so fun! We had to leave pretty early in the morning, but it was fun. The conference started at nine, but we had to be there at 8. E. Zwick and his wife met every missionary personally. While he was meeting everyone, I played piano and it was like for 50 minutes. Long time. The conference was so good, and in the middle I played a special musical number, “I Stand All Amazed/Nearer My God to Thee”. It was really spiritual and it was one of my better arrangements I would have to say. Way spiritual conference, and I learned a ton.

Viernes: Weekly planning as usual and then we went down to Samuel and taught him. After that we went around and did some stuff in Central but a lot fell through. Then we took the lonely bike trail back home and we think we were being prowled by a pack of coyotes.
Oh yeah to answer some questions. Elder Carey’s mission famous “Cinnamon Roll Sunday”. It really isn’t anything that special just every Sunday I make cinnamon rolls for my companions. I either make Rhodes Rolls or I just get the Pillsbury, it kind of depends on what I feel like. So the tradition is wake up and blast Mo Tab and then cook the cinnamon rolls and eat them. I have done it my whole mission and it is pretty famous now. In fact the other Elder’s that I live with have adopted it and we enjoy lots of cinnamon rolls.

I AM GETTING TRANSFERRED!! Craziness, I was shocked when I found out. We found out Saturday night that both Elder Colby and I are being whitewashed out of the area. Even bigger news….I AM GONNA BE A ZONE LEADER!! What the heck. I feel like I just barely got here to Oceanside, and now I am leaving. Pretty sad really, especially right before the holidays and everything. But it is for the best. I have learned so much here in Oceanside and from all the experiences. I can definitely say that I have grown a lot as a missionary and I am ready for new and exciting challenges.

Wow, this has been a whirlwind week. Alright so the results are…..I am in ESCONDIDO!!! AGAIN!! I am in the exact same ward I was in 3 months ago, but I am in a different area. Some new zones got created, and so my companion and I are both serving for the first time ever, as zone leaders in a spanish area. So that is super exciting. It was a shock when he said at transfers that I was going to the Escondido 3rd Ward again. Wow. Crazy.
Lunes: So we got up early in the morning and got ready to go to Zone Conference!! Yeah, the first week that we are zone leaders, and we have to get a zone conference together. We gave our training on inspired lesson plans and it pretty much rocked.
