A little note before you continue on with the letters...

Hey! For all those who have been waiting for me to update for...-whew! 8 weeks! long time! Sorry about that guys!-well I just added the last eight letters from David. I'm going to put the following in all-caps for those who are just kinda scanning -or not even scanning, I'm sure in some cases- this little extra from yours truly. THERE ARE TWO NEW PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM, CHECK THEM OUT. Sorry again for taking so long, I guess I've just been really horrible at being consistent with this since school began, maybe a little before then. Ok, enjoy reading!!!

A cool, COOL week

Dear family,
AGGGHHH, so many things to write about but not hardly enough time to write them.
 
This week:
 - Liz Wiseman & Greg Pal gave us instruction as Zone Leaders. (If those names don't ring any bells, Google them. Hint: the Wisman Group)
 
 - (Slightly less useful) I learned how to generate plasma in a microwave. Weird, eh? And yet very cool.
 
 
Whew... let me talk about that first one for a bit.
 
First of all, wow. I find it really awesome that Pres. Gelwix can, through some of his former contacts, call on people like them to give us instruction.
 
From the time we saw the promo, I was hooked. We were  all sitting there in council, and there she was addressing us as though we were executives in the corporate America. Their theme... actually, their study, is about leadership training.
(For more information on the topic, visit www.multipliersbook.com )
 
They're both members of the Church, and they put a really interesting spin on this book. I'm really intent upon reading it at some point in the future.
 
I wish I could describe some of what happened in that Zone Leader Council, but honestly, I think that going to that website (I'm not sure, I've never seen it), you'll get a better taste of what we saw/learned.
 
So our job now is... how do we become "Multipliers" as Zone Leaders?
 
 
I had this great opportunity to go out on exchanges with one of the Assistants to the President, this last week. Actually, it occurred right after Zone Leader Council on Wednesday.
 
So yeah, last week was intense. I've also had this interesting change-of-perspective because of the added responsibilities. It has helped me see how I can be a better missionary. It definitely opened up a whole new realm of improvement.
 
 
 
Well,
 
I gotta go family!
Los quiero!
Elder Ostler
