As for things to cover for President, he assigned us to do some baptismal interviews for people who have had problems with question 4, if anyone has an issue with question 4 they need to be interviewed by the President or someone he assigns. People who had issues with abortion, homosexuality, and serious crimes. It was interesting but a neat experience to see the atonement work with people. He told me something interesting that I hadn't realized before. When you're doing a worthiness interview your role is not to play FBI and figure out exactly whats been going on in their life but your job is to witness that this person has declared themselves worthy and that they understand what covenant their making with our Heavenly Father. Of course you need to follow the promptings of the Spirit and if you feel something is amiss ask more questions but a lot of its really in the hands of the person being interviewed.
Other then that this week has been pretty slow, we had some zone conferences, we're finishing them up this week. We're training on the doctrine of sacrifice, I may have already told you about it, but we had the idea of doing another visual aid so we build out of some goodwill supplies a sacrificial altar and spray painted it gold. At the beginning of the conference we pass out little square pieces of paper that have a clip art lamb on them and ask everyone to write down the things that they want to sacrifice this year in order to help them fulfill their calling. Then we teach about sacrifice and at the end of the conference we bring in this altar and have everyone lay their sacrifices on the altar. At the end of the round of zone conferences we're going to burn all the papers in the back of the mission home.
Well, number reports are now in so I've gotta run, but I love everyone and have a great week!!
