The peak of my week!

So! This week was absolutely crazy. First, on Tuesday, we had Zone Conference which was really great. I absolutely love Zone Conference because, just like President Bowler said, it gives us an opportunity to change. We have this one opportunity to take everything that we learn in a few hours and change the way we work and live our missions. We learned a lot of how to take care of ourselves as well. I'm going to do my best to follow all the health rules because I really do not want bacteria or parasites AGAIN. I might have parasites right now, but I really don't want to check....

After that, on Thursday we did divisions with the Zone Leaders. That was great, like always. I went with Elder Quintanar from Mexico. He's a great guy. He was my District Leader when I was in Langue. Well, my tooth has been hurting lately, so we decided to make an appointment with a dentist to get it checked out. We had to take a bus to Danli. That's about an hour ride. We got there and I got into the office. By the way, the dentists here are exactly like the dentists in the States, so you can get all the crazy thoughts out of your mind mom. haha Well, the only difference was that the waiting room was like half waiting room, half garden, which was cool. So I went in with the dentist and he said that I had 3 cavities on the same tooth!! So I got those all filled up, which really hurt by the way. 

Well, the next day I returned to Zamorano with Elder Fredrickson. We went contacting and we found this guy called Emerson. At first, he put up this front. He told us he goes to a church already and that he was actually in "training"or something like that to become a pastor. I just told him, give us 45 minutes to explain how the heavens have opened again. (We watched a church history movie on Saturday, so I'm really into talking like the missionaries from church history right now.) Anyway, he listened to us and had so many questions about the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith and everything. It was really cool actually, because this was the first lesson that Elder Fredrickson just kind up piped up and answered questions without asking my approval!! haha it was perfect. We actually were answering all his questions before he asked them. The last question he asked us was, "Do you really believe that man holds the same authority from God that the profets of old did?" We testified so hard that we do!! It was so cool. I am so stoked for this guy. He asked us if we actually believe in the Holy Ghost as well and Elder Fredrickson said that we do and that we had felt him testify of the truth during that lesson. After that, Emerson told us that he had felt the spirit too!! It was just so great. That was like the peak of my week!

I love you all so much!

love, Elder Carter
