Last Wednesday we got up at 6:15 to go to Concepcion. It was for leadership training and the assistants and President gave us a lot of good council. They told us a little bit about how to do baptismal interviews better, about key indicator numbers, how to do district classes more effectively, and a lot of things that helped. Us four from the zone got back to our sectors in time to work the whole afternoon there so I was happy about that. Its amazing how when you are assigned to a position that has to do with being a ¨leader¨, the love for the people you serve grows a lot more. That definentely has happend.

Fidel, an investigator, is doing amazing and he wants to get baptized next Sunday. A recent convert family has helped him a lot and they care for him since he comes from a rough background. Also, another investigator named Barbara is doing really good. She is ten years old and wants to get baptized but her mom will only give her permission when she sees a change in her. When I saw Barbara this past week for the first time, I felt that I had already known Barbara from somewhere. Its really hard to explain the thoughts and emotions that I felt but I really feel a big resposibility to help Barbara get baptized.

Here are a few pictures from Los Volcanes! There are pictures with a lot of great families from the ward and some converts and investigators.

I love yall!
