Dear Family, Friends, and other people on the Internet!

This week has been a very interesting week of "What the Heck is going on?" and "Holy Crap!" To start of with the beginning of the week, Elder Evans and I have caught a new virus that has been going around that you have to just wait out and get over. The symptoms are Head Aches, Dizziness, nausea, constantly tired, and stomach pains. Elder Evans and I have had all the symptoms and are now feeling slightly better but it is like a constant on and off switch which is really annoying. So the first couple days we had to stay in the apartment all day due to my companion getting all the symptoms one day, and then me getting them the following day. So that was fun this week haha

While walking on the road yesterday, I found (yes on the side of the road. there is TONS of weird stuff all over the road here) a Mio GPS. I took it home plugged it in to see if worked so that we didn't have to buy one! and it didn't, it doesn't keep a charge and the screen flashes on and off every 5 seconds. Now we know why they through it out on the street haha ok now we are going to get to the amazing part of this week that you are going to be in ah and jealous of xD

This week we had an all mission conference on Saturday, March 23, 2013. We had the amazing privilege to have the following people in the special all mission conference:

Bishop Davis- Presiding Bishopric
Elder Smith- Area of the Seventy
Elder Hallstrom- Presidency of the Seventy
Elder David A. Bednar- Quorum of the 12 apostles

In the words of Elder Bednar, This kind of mission conference with this many brethren here will never happen again. This is a once in a life time opportunity. Boy was it! The spirit was so strong when they all walked into the room and got seated on the stand. I cried pretty much the entire time we were there. He answered questions I had come with, and answers to questions I didn't even know I had. I did take some notes while I was there and will send those at another time. I sat 2 rows from the front of the pulpit, and also got to shake every single one of their hands. This is a time and event that I will never forget. I got to meet and shake hands with an apostle of the lord.

That is about as exciting as it has gotten around here! Which in letter form, seems like not much at all, but in reality, a ton has been going on physically, mentally, and spiritually all week for myself and my companion. I cannot wait to see what this next week will bring and to see what new adventures are in store for me.

I love you all and pray for all daily,
-Elder Anthony D. Zenger
