Hermana Bloxham - First Zone Conference down!

Hey!!

It's been a pretty crazy week! Sister baker has been sick, so we've
spent speak time in the apartment, but it turned out to be a blessing
because we had a lot of extra time to plan our training for Zone
Conference. So we gave 3 of our 9 trainings today and we found out
that we will get to stay in the mission home on Thursday night just
Sister Baker and I! It's going to be sick! I'm so excited! The
training went pretty well. We just do a lot of things that other
people don't do so it's hard to explain how we are organized when
others do it a different way. But we are going to cut out some of the
information to make it easier to understand the reason behind planning
and organization more than just how we do it. I hope people can take
away something good from it. Today we are going to mini golf on a
pier! It'll be pretty cool I think!

This week I had the chance to go to the temple with some of the
Chinatown sisters and go through the temple with one of her members
who was going through for the first time. It was a super cool
experience. We were her guide people so we got to go through the whole
process with her. It was really cool! The temple is amazing! The
church is true! Haha. I just love how we can have moments in our lives
that grow our testimonies. Just something simple like going to the
temple can just increase my testimony by a ton! It's amazing!

Also, this was cool, while we were there one of the matron ladies was
talking to us and she is Paul Newbold's mom! Remember Nicole and Erica
Newbold? Their grandma. Small world! The temple just brings people
together haha.

Lucy, Lorraine and Serafín are doing great! They came to church last
week and they loved it. They had interviews with the bishop so that he
could get to know them and he told us that he really feels like they
are going to be an amazing contribution to our ward and help to grow
the ward. He has a lot of faith in them and is very involved in their
conversion, it's really awesome! I can't wait for you guys to meet all
of these people that I love so much! It's going to be so great! I am
so thankful to be a Missionary for these last two weeks! The Lord
loves us, His children and he wants us to be happy. It's amazing to he
his hands here in New York and to bring this good news to people here!
I love Him and I love this gospel!

I love you all so much!
