Cool things ahead

Hello everyone! Well, we just had zone conference again this past week, and it was really amazing. We've talked a lot about doubling baptisms, and our president, President Steinagel, is just the man to do it. He has a great vision for the missionary work here, and he really knows his stuff. This next transfer will be a really good one.

We have a lot planned for it that'll be really cool. Here's our schedule:
WEEK 1 (this week): 2-day exchange with the other elders in our district to help them boost their numbers and get some work going for them
WEEK 2: Exchange in Lutsk, a city I've never been to before
WEEK 3: Exchange in L'viv with the other zone leaders
WEEK 4: Mini zone conference (something I've been organizing for my part of the zone, Ivano and Chernivtsi; it'll be a scaled-down version of zone conference specifically for us and our situations. If it goes like I'm planning, it'll be a great way to train and, most especially, keep everyone excited for the last half of the transfer--most of the time, people are great after zone conference but it kind of wavers off after that)
WEEK 5: Exchange in Ivano to help them with a big Open House they're having
WEEK 6: Exchange in Kyiv, Ivano, Chernivtsi, Odessa, and Kyiv again before a transfer to Boise, Idaho....

It should be a good transfer.

Congratulations again to Mom for her big win! That's amazing. I hope everyone else is doing great, and I'll write again next week!
