Bonjour! What a weekend of fun!
Started by 8 Sisters in an apartment! Party!!
Friday was P-day, and we got together as a Zone to carve pumpkins! Fun times!!!! Pictures included of the event! That evening we gathered as Sisters to sing to a man who is about to get baptized in the Sister Training Leaders' (Sister S & Sister F) area. It was awesome to sing I Am a Child of God all together. 
Saturday we had Zone Conference! We had amazing training all morning, and were ready for lunch... to discover no one had prepared any food! Now this has not happened in 16 years! So President Pattison took us out to lunch–breaking some number rules of missionaries gathered in public haha.Pictures are included of that event too!
Being gathered together with other missionaries made me think of how there is strength in numbers. There is a greater unity and confidence that comes being surrounded by others that have the same desire to follow Jesus Christ and serve the Lord. However, in my studies yesterday, I was reading about Nephi and the ridicule he went through from others around him; his own family even. Like Nephi, sometimes we do not have others to uplift us or help us follow Christ. We have to have the same courage to stand up for what we believe; we have to have the courage to stand alone. I would encourage you all to watch this video with President Monson relating a personal experience.
If you have your own personal experience, I'd love to hear it! Stand together as one, or dare to stand alone if necessary.
Have a great week getting ready for Halloween!
Lot of love!
Sister Tatjana Zumbach
