I made zone leader in ten months. Top that.

I made DL and languished there for a year. I was told by a certain AP-ness at one point that my numbers weren't ZL material. Not that I really cared, but it sucked not to be able to tell a few "when I was a ZL" stories at the BYU 598th ward Elders Quorum meetings when I returned home.

I trained a couple of elders as well.

I was ZL for one transfer. And that was over like 10 missionaries. Our mission was small when I was there.

If you want to be ZL or AP, you have to write letters to the president.

If every week you write "everything fine" and that's all you write, you are not likely to be AP.

Too many different mission president styles for this to be a hard and fast rule.

If you would have held fast, you could be Utah royalty right now. Enjoy that pottage while it lasts.

I had a very funny companion who would write his president letters comic strip syle. My HS art teacher pres loved it.

Junior ZL after 4, Sr. ZL after 6. Not that it matters.

what's a junior ZL?

Companion to the ZL was a position of shame in my mission. It was usually the elder with the most problems (inexperience, immaturity, homesick, lazy)

In my mission ZL's were a companionship. Both were zone leaders. Jr. ZL was also the DL for their district.
