It has been a quiet two weeks since I blogged last  and I didn't have anything new to write about.  However, this week it are zone conferences which is divided up into 4 days.  Yesterday, Tuesday, November 19th was the first one, and we did zones 2 and 3 at the Ventura Stake Center.  Because we have to make sure that the mission office remains open, Sister Truman stayed at the office yesterday and I went.  We had 26 cars that had to be inspected while the missionaries were in the Stake Center - so Elder Truman, Elder Ruse, the Castro children - Hannah and Samuel and myself inspected all of the cars.  Then at lunch time, we ate lunch with the missionaries, and awarded those who had the cleanest cars.  As it turned out, the sister missionaries had the cleanest cars!  Then Elder Ruse had to do his vehicle and bike safety presentation. The Stakes are asked to provide the lunch - the mission gives them $3.50/per missionary to spend and apparently, it is interesting what they feed them - but we are grateful for the help from the Stakes.  

One of the elders left his key in the ignition of his car in the on position and when we were locking all of the cars up, his car was dead - so we had to go back to the mission office and get the jumper cables and jump that car before we were done.  Then last night, we had a call about 7:30 that one of the sets of sister missionaries lost their key and the only one they had was locked in the car.  The assistants to the President found a spare key back at the office and were able to help them so that they could get on the road.

Today, the zone conference is in Santa Maria at he Stake Center - which is about 2 hours away.  Tomorrow it is in Simi Valley, and then Friday in Camarillo.

The weather is always the same here.  In fact, I would look at the weather everyday in the morning to determine what I should wear - but I'm not going to do that anymore - because it is always the same.
