I had to make a list

Good to hear from you!

So on the Olympic side of things. Yeah her name is Tora bright, I think. . She was good friends with Elder Burton one of my companions. He is way good at snowboarding and I guess she just rips it up pretty hard ha-ha. Apparently she got a medal in the Olympics right? ha-ha. Also yeah I know about Canada too. Elder McMurry calls me every time they win and tells me all about it. He’s from Canada and loves hockey. So when a member told me about the US win, it was nice to be able to give him a call ha-ha. AMERICA!!

So for this week I had to make a list cause it was packed with sweet stuff!

So on Friday we had zone leader council, again. That’s right 2 in a transfer. The rule is that we aren’t supposed to gather over half the mission without 1st presidency approval. But Elder Perry was only coming to this half of the mission! So president had all the district leaders and zone leaders come over from the west and spend the night at the mission home. And it just so happened to be the day before Elder Perry came! ha-ha President is the best. It was fun though. I got to see a lot of old companions and we evaluated each zone. Our mission is one of the top missions in our area. It’s neat because 2 years ago Elder Perry gave a mission presidents seminar and he talked about how we have less missionaries coming out then we need. So over the next while he said they were going to start taking the missions that weren’t doing as well and reduce them and then give more missionaries to the missions that are doing well. .. Well, most missions are either being joined with another mission or their number of missionaries is down to 100. We in the Colorado Denver South Mission just got our last upgrade of missionaries to put us at just under 200. I think we are 198. . . So basically this is the best mission in the world . . .just saying. stats prove it hahahaha

So when Elder Perry came (with Elder Hallstrom) President Christison gave the first talk. This was basically a review of our mission. The reason Elder Perry is going around visiting missions is to implement the new ward mission process. Part of that is teaching 20 lessons a week. Well, the month before he came, our mission as an average were teaching just over 20 lessons a week ha-ha. So instead he just spent an hour on the priesthood!! It was so great. We all learned a lot. He is one of the funniest guys ever. He shook all of our hands and was cracking jokes left and right. It was great. He told lots of stories about Elder McConckie. ha-ha They were way funny. And if you didn’t know, Elder Perry is huge! He was probably one of the tallest ones in the whole room. I was a midget to him, both physically and spiritually! ha-ha

Then on Sunday we had the usual meeting with the stake presidency . They are the best. I love working with them. They are so focused on missionary work and because of it everything else falls in place as well.

Then yesterday we had a zone meeting which went very well. We kinda have a handpicked prime missionary zone. All our companionships are so solid! It’s wonderful, because we don’t have to worry about too much! We just help them with interviews for baptism or encourage them! I love it.

We also found a sweet new investigator yesterday. So we are excited about that.

So that’s pretty much a normal week for us in this mission, except the Elder Perry thing. So now you can just copy and paste that email and put it for the last 6 months that I have been bad at writing ha-ha.

Well I’ve got to split, but thanks for the letter mom. It was nice to learn a little more about what was going on with Baylee.

Put a plug in for priesthood blessing or something next time you all get on TV! Eh?!! ha-ha.

Thank you all for the support and prayers for us missionaries as we are out serving. We definitely need them. And so you know, most missionaries pray for the members, that they will be good missionaries as well ha-ha. Fulfill our prayers!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Elder Bragg
