Te Awamutu Week 17

Here in New Zealand, things are well. The work in Te Awamutu has exploded lately and been doing really well. We have 4 people we are successfully teaching the discussions to. To put that in perspective, I was teaching 2 people he discussions the entire time I spent in Manurewa. We had 3 of them come to church yesterday so it was real good! They seem to be progressing quite well! We had our big zone conference with Elder Nattress and it went quite well I think. Our role play went well and we got some good compliments and a lot of laughs. We later on had to participate in a sort of activity that Elder Nattress had us do and divided us into our individual zones. So I gathered all the Elders and Sisters in our zone to one side of the chapel and stood in the middle of them leading a sort of discussion. It was pretty nerve wracking because there's about 40 missionaries all looking at me and waiting for me to give them the floor. Trying to give everyone an opportunity to speak their ideas and mold them all together was really hard especially in the short 7 minutes we had. I was hoping my companion would stand next to me but he kind of sat down and gave me the "good luck bro" look. It was stressful but I think it turned out alright. The other zone went first and while they were doing it, Elder Nattress sat next to me and told me what he wanted out of our zone that the other one wasn't doing and I had to somehow tell everyone else without making too much noise. It turned out good though so we're alright. That's me for now. Have a great week!
