This week was great! We have lots of good things happening in this area and transfers are coming up, I'm excited to see what happens. The weeks just continue to fly by quick!
One highlight of the week was Zone Conference. It is always such an awesome experience. Every time I go I am very humbled. There is always so much to work on to become a better missionary and the things that are taught at Zone Conference are always exactly what I need to hear. I think the biggest thing I learned and am still learning that will help me through my whole life is the difference between teaching Doctrine and talking about behavior. There is a quote in Preach my Gospel the says "A study of Doctrine will change behavior quicker than a study of behavior will change behavior," to paraphrase. So we went over what we can do to be better at teaching Doctrine because it is so easy to slip into teaching behavior. In any teaching situation we should be teaching Doctrine.
Another fun thing that happened this week was being able to go on exchanges with Pueblo West 1st and 2nd ward, I went with Elder Smith to his area and we had a great day! Elder Smith is really funny and he was actually just made the new assistant to the president yesterday so that was cool. Anyways it was awesome because for 3 exchanges in a row we have set goals in faith and the Lord has helped us to achieve them last minute. We set a goal to find 2 new people to teach and the last 2 people we talked to while knocking doors ended up being interested super cool! I definitely know that as we set righteous goals in faith, the Lord will help us to achieve them.

One of the people we found that day was so great. She was a teenage girl that just needed the gospel! As we were talking with her, I felt so much charity for her and just wanted her to be converted to the Lord right there because she would have such a happier life!
John is doing very well. We had to push back his baptismal date a couple weeks because he is struggling to quit smoking but is getting so close! He thinks he will be done with it all in the middle of this week, super excited for him!
It also snowed this week and I made my first snow man! Pretty cool, his name is Gerald. Colorado's weather is weird, all the snow malted a day later.

It was a wonderful week though and I am happy to be serving here in CO! Hope everyone is doing well!
Love,
Elder Morgan
