Zone Conference and Having Active Fatih

Lemme just start out by saying Catanzaro is in the middle of nowhere.

I think I've said this before but it needs to be repeated. This week

we had our missionary Zone Conference in Taranto. Usually, even if your

city is far away, it takes maybe 2 hours to get to where you need to

go. For us it takes about 6. So we left Monday for the Tuesday

conference. The trip was half train half bus. I did not like the bus

part, that's for sure.

Once in Taranto we met up with some other missionaries, got some lunch

and did a little shopping. My favorite store, Zara, was having a really

swag suit sale and I got a full suit for like 48 dollars. Idk exactly

cuz like Euro to dollar conversion, but it was cheap. So we like that a

lot. After the lil shopping spree we went to go play some Zone Soccer.

It was a good time with all the running around, screaming, and

Italians looking at us like gorillas at the zoo, it was a good time.

My soccer skills are not where I'd like them to but they are a lot

better than a year ago so that's good news. That evening we had our

interviews with Prez. He is a good guy and definitely knows what you

need to hear. It was a well needed interview.

Tuesday was Zone Conference. I learned a lot of knew things and found

some things I can work on so that's always good. Then we spent the

rest of the day doing some missionary work. Then on Wednesday we

were finally able to take the nice long trip back to Catanzaro.

We filled the rest of the week by visiting some members and friends.

Playing games, taking pictures, walking down the street with a guitar

singing songs trying to get people to come to our FREE English course.

It was a good time. Honestly, nothing super interesting or crazy

happened this week. It was honestly pretty normal. I'm not comparing

though, don't get me wrong ha-ha

Also this week I've been studying in the Bible a little bit and I read

Hebrews 11. If ya haven't read it, read it. It talks all about faith

and pretty much what I've been learning over and over again is that

faith isn't a one-time thing. You don't confess faith once and for

that become saved. It's constant and it requires action. Moses had a

lotta faith. We know that. So what did he do? He led the children out

of Israel through the Red Sea. That's pretty swag. David had a lotta

faith and he went out and slew Goliath. Faith is not, never has been,

never will be a passive action. It's full of constant growth, effort,

and enduring. But in the end it's totally worth it.

Love you all and have a great week :)
