C Z C (Christmas Zone Conference)

Welp. I had my last Christmas Zone Conference in the mission. Unless I go back as a senior missionary. It's crazy beans. But, it was a good one. I realized that because of my experience serving with missionaries that were much older than me I was a bit of an odd man out. Even in a tri-zone conference. For example, There were a group of about 7 sisters that had all served with each other or with a sister that's about to go home. So yeah it's weird being the old missionary now. But, That's going to change a bit now. *Drumroll*........... I'm going to go serve in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba with Elder Shaw. He's been on his mission for just over four months now. By far the youngest companion I've had relative to me. Which I've been out for about 16 months. So yeah weird stuff :)

Anywho back to CZC. To begin we had a crazy snow storm the night before it. We woke up to about a half foot of snow and it was all falling horizontally. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to do that. So we get out to our car and it has a foot of snow on the back part of it and none anywhere else on the car. Then we get to the chapel and we were the first ones there besides the APs and President. So we get to help them carry in all the presents. I was honestly not expecting to get a package and I didn't find one in the mess of presents there so it was all good :) But, Elder Talbots new companion got a BIG garbage bag full of presents so he was just telling me he's going to have a sad Christmas compared to him :) Just joking but it was an insane amount of Christmas presents that he's going to have to drag everywhere. But, then we had a great meeting and learned lots and had lots of fun. One of the highlights was we've been doing a Preach my gospel chase since the beginning of the year with President Craig as the show host and this last zone conference our district destroyed every other district. Even though we had so many more of us we rekt everyone elses lives in it. So yeah basically the best district in the mission ;) Which I'm literally the only one leaving it so :( ... But, it's all good because I'm finally going back to a district with just one other companionship in it and it has mah boi Elder Blommeart in it as well :) 

Finally one of the exciting things we got trained on in this Zone Conference was about family history and convert retention. Which I've basically known since the beginning of my mission. Plus, my mom basically sparked the spirit of Elijah in me so it was so nice to have the mission catch up to me. Which has been a reoccurring experience to be honest.

Anywho I think that's all I have time for but, I love y'all and I hope you have a great week.
