Elder Stuart Hunt: Zone Conference

My week was a great week!! We had Zone Conference and this zone conference we learned how to teach the Restoration, the Plan of Salvation, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ all in 15 minutes which is not bad. It is easier than anything else. It was also great because we got to meet new missionaries and see how they teach and learn how to teach better from them. It was such a spiritual experience that it makes a person exhausted. If you think about it, it's true all throughout time, think of someone who had an experience seeing Christ or having a profound spiritual experience, they all were exhausted after the experience. Like the Nephites in America most of them went home and hit the sack hard or like Joseph Smith after he had the vision he was sent to work on his father's farm and collapsed in the corn field and his father told him to go back to get some sleep... food for thought.

We had exchanges with the Zone Leaders. I was with Elder Stratford. What a great guy. One thing I found out about him is he was Elder Hale’s trainer. Elder Hale is from Arizona but Robert Hale, his grandpa and our Mayor, lives in Midvale so that's one more interesting thing. Elder Stratford and I had a lot of teaching appointments, and I must admit my teaching is improving a little. His area is in the Oakland YSA ward. There are a lot of people he must cover because of the University of Pittsburgh. I love people they’re too funny, we met this guy that told us that Jesus was black and he took 20 minutes trying to make his point that if we just, "think about where he was born its literally impossible for him to be white" so, after we said thank you and went our way.

We also play Ultimate Frisbee with random people on the streets and after the game we talk about the restoration and that's something cool.

We didn’t get fed this week but on the other hand we did get bikes! So super happy about that. It’s a great bike for a tall guy like me. It has shock absorbers on the seat and the front tires and a 2” seat cushion. I wouldn’t mind riding it the whole 2 years.

Have a great week
