NEW AREA AND ZONE

Dear Family,
I don't have much time cuz I am running on a division right now. We just had a Zone Conference, then we played soccer and all went out to eat Chinese food.  Oh, and my new area. I am now the new Zone Leader out here in Colon. This zone is the farthest zone in the mission. We took about a six hour bus ride last Wednesday to get out here. This last month they baptized 14 here (November). The most this zone has ever baptized is 30 in one month. And that happened about three months ago. But, I am way excited to be here. This last week, we had every companionship here set their goals . We have a Zone Goal of 46. I know we are going to get it. Today, we had such on awesome Zone Conference. My Comp Elder Perez and I pumped up our Zone. Everyone is way excited right now. If we keep going like this, I know the Lord is going to bless us. My Comp and I are going to help a lot of Districts get their goal. We are going to sacrifice ourselves like never before. What we did this last Saturday was awesome. Every district in the Zone had a cake party. We had sisters in every district make five cakes each. Then we invited millions of people to this little cake party with little sheets of paper. Here in my Branch, I gave a ten minute talk on the joy of missionary work.  Then we put one cake out in front of everyone. We gave everyone a sheet of paper that we made that had Name:     Direction:     at the top.  Then we said whoever fills up their sheet first wins the cake. There was space for about 15 names and directions on each sheet. So we did that with three cakes. Then at the end, everybody ate the two big cakes. It was way fun. Now, what we are going to do with the sheets of paper... we are going to go to each member's house and get on our knees and pray with them, and then ask them…of all these people pick 5 families that we can baptize. We received so many references. It was awesome. Well this weekend, we have two baptismal dates...the two guys that we put for this weekend. Then in 2-3 weeks we have another family of 6. Well gotta run. Love you all. See you later. Hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving. Give my "good luck" to the football team. Adios.  
Love, Elder Lee   P.S. Thanksgiving was great. I ate a bag of chips with a chocolate milk

ANSWERS TO ???S

Dear Dad, How are you? This email is just to answer some of your questions. So Chris is going to be down here on Monday. I don’t think anybody I know here in my area would be able to get him from the airport. Nobody has a car and the ones that do have a car are working during the daytime. So I don’t know what he can do. And as for working with me on Monday and Tuesday, that would be awesome. Only Monday we don’t go out and work until 6:00. So maybe he would want to meet up with us Tuesday. I am going to see if it is okay with President. But where is he going to sleep? He won’t be able to sleep in our house. Is he going to rent a car?   What are his plans? We have interviews with President on Wednesday… I will talk to prez. Yes Brother Butts is back in Honduras now. You can call him. I told him you are going to call today. He is awaiting your phone call. He should be able to give you or be able to get you some information. He has about 3 years of traveling from the states to...

Lee Family, How is everyone doing? Well, I will have a little more time to write today since there was only Dad's letter waiting for me. So, how did the Oregon Coast treat you guys? I can't believe a year has past since I graduated. That was one of the fastest years ever. The time is flying by so fast. This past week has been kind of weird seeing everyone saying goodbye to Elder Khan, and seeing him prepare to go back home. I don't want those days to come too soon for me. My Comp is a little nervous about going back home. He says he wouldn't mind another month in the mission with me in this area. These last couple of days he has been kind of baggie and has been talking about home a lot. Last night we were up late talking. Tuesday night we are going to be eating like crazy. Everybody wants to feed us their best baleadas and food right before Elder Khan leaves, so food-wise we have been doing alright lately. Well, this last week, we were supposed to marry a couple, so w...
