Everything is going great! We are staying really busy and having a lot of fun. I am excited to get to Skype with you guys on Sunday! It will probably be around 7 your time but I am not exactly sure. This past week was full of meetings and preparing for meetings. Last Thursday we had a zone training meeting, where my companion and I gave training's on how to plan better and also how to work more effectively with the ward council. We also presented our revised mission goal for baptisms which is 235 before June 30, because that is when the mission split is going to be happening. To present it my companion and I made a cake that was shaped like 235 it was pretty sweet. It was an awesome looking cake. Yesterday we had zone conference. It was a really good meeting President and Sister Cook along with the assistants gave the training's. It was really interesting, because I got to conduct the meeting. I was so nervous there was a lot of missionaries there. There was 3 zones. It was definitely a learning and growing experience. It was tough because I had to make sure everything ran smoothly, and luckily it did. It is pretty cool how much you learn when you are with a large group of missionaries.
The teaching here has slowed down a lot. Right now we only have one investigator and he isn't very solid. We have suspicions that he is a Jehovah witness. We have been doing a lot to try to find new people to teach. We have been trying to go by a lot of part member families and also less actives. Saturday I was on exchanges with a missionary that is here waiting on a visa. We were in my area and as we went through our day every name that we planned to stop by wasn't home it was pretty ridiculous. We were able to talk to a lot of people on the street though. We talked to this one older gentleman and as we talked with him he told us that we were wrong and that he could prove us wrong and change our minds. It was really funny how he said it. That was the third or fourth time that someone has said that to me since I have been in this area. I just laugh every time.
On Sunday we went around and delivered flowers to a few less actives that are in the ward. It was pretty cool it made them all happy. The Ward mission leaders wife makes flower arrangements for weddings and things like that and they take the flowers after the event so they gave us a few and we delivered them around the ward. It was really cool. I had the thought of mailing some home for mothers day but i figured a I better not because it wouldn't be good to get dead flowers.
Last Tuesday for Preparation day my companion and I got to go golfing. We went to this golf course called The Grand Del Mar. It is a really really nice country club. I felt like a celebrity there. There was tons of free food and drinks and whatever you wanted. It was a lot of fun. It was my companions first time so it was pretty entertaining.
Love You!
Love, Elder RINDLISBACHER
