Conference!!

Picture 1: Our 18 year old Ward mission leader

Picture 2: Watching Sunday Morning Session with the girls!

 

When the announcement came Sat. Morning we were sitting right in front of our 18 year old ward mission leader who was called two weeks ago. We turned around and he was in shock! He left the room and called his mom, then the bishop. He was in too much shock for the rest of the session! He started his papers on Sunday!

This changed the world forever. I have seen FB posts (since my comp. is a FB missionary) of girls who say, "Sorry boys, I'm going on a mission!

 

I have noticed that after conference, I have been calmer in lessons and I have felt more power as we teach. There is such a great spirit in missionary work right now and we are all a part of it!

 

This week is transfers and that is why I am writing on Tuesday, every time transfers is here President moves the preparation day to Tuesday.

 

I am being transferred. Sister Knickerbocker is staying here and a sister from the Temple Square mission is coming!!!

 

I have come to notice that there are a lot of things that we as a people do that don't really make a lot of sense to people who are not Mormon, an investigator walked out of the Sunday evening session after hearing the talk about doing work for the dead, she didn't have a full understanding of it, but she said that she knew that people would not get a chance to hear about God, but we all have our chance in this life and, "I believe in a loving God."

 

What she said goes right with the doctrine behind baptisms for the dead, but she couldn't see the connection. I invited her to read and pray about 1 Cor. 15. I wonder what she will think and feel about it . . .

 

There is so much that We know that They don't know, is the thought that Elder Carden of the first quorum of the seventy said to us in Zone Meeting. We are here in the places that Heavenly Father puts us to share the good news!

 

I love it! And I love all of you so much! Thank you for your prayers and support!
