Highlights from Michael's letter:

"Well this week has been really good starting off with sunday. In which I have a funny story.. So as my companion and I were walking into sacrament meeting that morning the branch president asks if he can talk to us and we just thought oh okay he just wants to ask if we will talk today in sacrament meeting! But then one of the other councelors in the presidency says congratulations elders!!! Haha and my companion and I were like for what? And he says oh you don't know yet? Oh sorry well president will tell you in just a moment. Haha then the president says okay eleders... I'm gunna throw some responsibility at you guys.. We want to call you guys to be our new zone leaders! Wow what a shock haha. We having only been at the mtc for a week and a half at the time already being called to be zone leaders!! No way. Well of course we accepted the call humbly. And we are now trying to get into the swing of our new role. It is pretty fun we get to meet with the district leaders and conduct interviews and plan the sacrament meetings each sunday and also show the new districts around when they come in. So im really excited for that. It was really cool too cause our president was like I understand you guys are still really new yourselves, but the lord has a really strong need for you two. So that was really cool to hear. Im really excited."
