Brock - April 17

Well this was a week that flew by. It seems like yesterday that I was writing emails to you guys. This week, we worked for a little bit in our old focus area, but it wasn´t working all that well. We ended up choosing a new focus area on Saturday. On Thursday we had our Multi-Zone conference. It was fairly uneventful, but we did have some changes made to the mission. The zone and district structure will change (apparently we´ve been doing it wrong this whole time), as will the roles of zone and district leaders. The "mini-missionary" curto prazo missionaries are no longer allowed, which will probably mean that a few areas will close temporarily, due to a decrease in missionaries here. After the multi-zone, we had the zone leaders in our area to do baptismal interviews, which is about when I started to get violently sick. I was throwing up and shaking and with a bad headache, so my companion and the zone leaders managed to get a hold of a member and they took me to the hospital. This was probably an overreaction, but they gave me some sort of thing into my vein and made me do that test where you close your eyes and keep still and you go into the machine? You know? Because of that we left the hospital at like midnight. It was probably just food poisoning (the hospital told us that the test results were "normal"). We also had stake conference this Sunday. There was a Seventy here that gave a good talk, though. He talked about a lot of things, but one of the things he touched on was that we shouldn´t get too mad when young children aren´t that reverent because they don´t really know that much. He made his point by saying "Let´s all stop and listen for a minute; do you hear the little voices? That´s them." It was pretty funny. He also talked about good, better, and best choices. Overall, somewhat exhausting week. But, I´m ready for another. And another. And a few after that. But after that probably need a break. ;)

Love you guys
