This week some major changes came to how missionary work will be done in the Oregon Eugene Mission. We had a Zone Conference yesterday where we learned that Facebook will be fully approved, and Preach My Gospel chapter 8 has been completely redone and is basically a new chapter. What is nice is that through Facebook we will be able to not only get a hold of people like before, but be able to teach full lessons to investigators that never seem to be home or we can't ever find a good time to meet with. We also learned how to receive referrals through it, and I am excited for it. We also learned how to more effectively make goals and plans towards the repentance of individuals.
Work wise, last week we got to celebrate Elder Huang's first Halloween. During the day we helped our recent convert Nicole find names to take to the temple, as well as carve pumpkins following dinner. It was a fun time to get to show Elder Huang a bit of American culture. The rest of the week was standard contacting, tracting, and teaching. We got to teach Guillian and his mom again. Guillian was very distracted and hyper through the lesson, but it was good and really helped the Mom know more of what Guillian needs to know for baptism.
Yesterday was great as well. I got to see a bunch of my past mission companions in Zone Conference as well as start an exchange with the zone leaders. Since then life has been chaotic but fun, experiencing campus missionary life last night and spending a p-day with the zone in Corvallis. Good things are happening and I look forward to seeing the miracles that happen in the coming week. Until then, thank you for all of the support!
