Elder Merrell and I enjoyed spending time with a few of our zone leaders and sister training leaders this week. We attended their weekly planning meetings and really got a feel for the love these missionaries have for those they are teaching. We also saw and felt the spirit working as they shared thoughts and ideas on what to teach, what invitations to extend, etc.
The spirit was there again as they began discovering and connecting to their ancestors on their family trees. One missionary learned that his great-grandpa was a professional wrestler and another learned that her 5th great-grandpa was the King of Tonga and through him Christianity was accepted on the island and later the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was accepted. The article stated that 40% of Tongans were members of the Church. She did not know that she was literally a princess :)
All in all we trained five sets of Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders this week and traveled to College Park, Villa Rica, Conyers, and Carrollton. It was a busy week and our hearts were filled with the spirit. We are so glad to be serving and having these joyful experiences.
