09 July 2012 - Zone Training, Castle of Good Hope

"Right this way, please..."
(Yes that really was a torture chamber)

Hello family and everyone else.

This week was a pretty neat week. Last Monday after e-mailing a couple of Elders and I went to the Castle of Good Hope. It was built in the 1700's sometime... I didn't get much chance to read about its history because we only had about 45 minutes to look around.

On Wednesday was Zone Training, which is a shorter meeting that Zone Conference, but we still learned a lot about finding new investigators and we went over Elder Uchtdorf's talk 'The Merciful Obtain Mercy.'

On Sunday (yesterday) Alicia was baptized, and we had several other investigators there that I am very hopeful for.

Thank you for your e-mails and I will talk to you again next week.
