Querido Familia, This week was pretty good. We were able to get out and try by a few potentials and some referrals. A few people said to come back a different day, but when we did they weren't there, but we will keep trying! We had our zone conference yesterday, which was really good! It was mostly about improving our teaching skills and there is a self evaluation sheet that we got and we are supposed to fill it out after each lesson we have and it will be reported at the end of the week with all our other Key Indicators. There is one other big change, and that is regarding our Dinners. We are to only have 2 dinners each week with active members of the ward. We are to strongly encourage those members to invite an investigator or less active member or be prepared to give us a referral. The rest of our meals we are to set up with either investigators or less active members. Another thing is, there are 3 sets of missionaries in our ward so we would leave our area to have dinner with a member that lives in another set's area. President Miller told us that this is no longer allowed, we can only have dinner with people that live in our area, even though it is the same ward. Also members would choose to feed 2 or all 3 sets of missionaries. Since we can no longer leave our area to have dinner this has been done away with as well. So there are a lot of changes, but we have been promised that as we do these things and follow these guidelines we will be blessed with more lessons and ultimately more baptisms. And I know that by following these guidelines that we will be blessed and we will see much more success in our areas. Anyway That is about it for me. I love you all! Elder Lee
