Week 70 Zone Conference in Nassau

Hey guys!

Sorry this email is coming a day late but better later than never!

Monday was P-Day and we had lunch with our Branch President and another member. Did a lot of in and out of the church all that day so I wasn't able to email.

Tuesday morning was District Meeting then District Lunch. We ran around paying a light bill, set up a bunch of dinner appointments for the weekend, bought water for our house, and had Comp Study for Zone Conference. The whole day we were also trying to get the weekend scheduled out for all of the missionaries to come to Nassau. We tried to see a lady we met at the Immigration building but we couldn't get a hold of her.

Wednesday was a day of foolishness. We had to work with Insurance to get information on a vehicle that Elders Christensen and Harrah wrecked, had to argue with them over a rental car, had to wait on the dealership to get us info on the wrecked car, had to look up a bunch of rectal places so we could at least have another car to drive around with the other missionaries, etc.. A huge headache and no help from anyone to do anything. NO ONE DID ANYTHING!! That night the Robasto's bought us pizza and we took Latario to see Paedencia.

Thursday was another day full of foolishness by the Assistants (Elders named above). We were told that all of our missionaries coming into Nassau would have to walk when they get here! NOOOOOO!!! I am not even kidding you, we were so upset with that! Then the AP's called all of our missionaries and told them that! Foolishness was done instead of Service! We did have a really good Comp Study on what we were gonna share at Zone Conference though so that made our day somewhat better. We then had a lesson with Junior and Lindsay. We had to keep it short because we had to go pick up the Freeport Elders from the airport. After we dropped them off at home we had to go back to the airport to pick up the Cayman Elders who bought McDonalds for everyone! That was a blast!

Friday we had exchanges so we were in Trios the whole day. I was with Elders Houston and Jensen. We started off the day with the car so we drove to see Sister Jaky Joseph. We had a really good lesson on prayer and we set goals with her to help her build her relationship with God. We then went to the beach to take some pictures. Afterwards we went to Popeye's for lunch with the other three Elders. We then rode the bus Downtown to get the Elders some souvenirs then walked up Market Street to see a few members on the way back towards the house. We then rode the bus back to the house to deal with the AP's foolishness again then drove to the Seawell's for Dinner with 8 Elders! Before we ate, Elder Markwalter and I went to pick up the Turks Sisters. There were 10 missionaries in the Seawell Home and it was a blast! The whole time we were their I was stressed out of my mind because of foolishness but everything was a blast!

Saturday was Zone Conference and All the Elder, except for the AP's, wore a maroon floral tie that Elder Evans bought for everyone! And the Sisters both wore red floral shirts with black skirts! Talk about Zone Unity! Zone Conference was a blast! Again, I was stressed out, but everything worked out great! We had a member provide lunch for us, we played basketball afterwards, then had another member provide dinner for us! Afterwards, Elders Markwalter, Evans and I took the Sisters out to buy some souvenirs at the mall. While there, Elder Evans bought me a visor, himself a shirt, and bought both the Sisters DQ Blizzards! He is such an Awesome missionary!

Sunday was my last Sunday in Nassau!! It was so fun though because we had so many missionaries there! After church we took tons of pictures and then headed to the Ferdinand's for lunch! That was also my last lunch at the Ferdinand's home!... After lunch Elders Markwalter, Evans and I took the Sisters to the Seawell's so they could meet Brother Seawell. We stayed there and had fun with them all then headed back Downtown for the Sisters to take pictures nect to paintings on the walls. We then took them home and we all started to pack up for the flights back to the islands.

I will never forget this Zone that I am so privileged to be a Zone Leader of! I have learned so much from my missionaries and I hope that they have all learned from me! I had a blast with all of them and I am truly grateful for all of them!

I hope everyone has a great week and have a great General Conference Weekend! Happy Easter! Love you all!

Elder Wilding
