Post General Conference Vibes

Hey everyone!
This week was pretty nice. To start off some funny stuff happened, so last night we slept at Elder T and Elder Cole's apartment, and I realized the next morning that I forgot hair gel...so I used some of Elder Cole's shaving creme as hair gel instead and that worked pretty great. Another funny story is that in between Conference I was eating some Oreos with milk, and I was about 7 Oreos in before realizing that the milk expired on September 16th, so yeah that was an L. Conference was amazing, definitely different being on a mission watching it. Super sad to hear about Elder Hales, he's truly a man of God, and I'm glad he's in a better place. Also sad to see President Monson not there but I'm glad he was able to watch it from his home in peace with his family. I especially loved President Uchtdorf's talk at the Saturday morning session, it was amazing. We had a couple solid lessons, we taught Aaron about the importance of the Book of Mormon, and how it compliments the bible, without adding on or replacing it, but rather is the piece to complete the fullness of the gospel. Then we stopped by a referral, and it ended up being a family who didn't order anything, nor knew why they were on the referral list, but we then found out they were an inactive family, and their daughter who was ten had been wanting to get baptized, but her Mom (raising the kids on her own) didn't go to church because of work, and her kids couldn't get there, but now we have a ride for the kids every Sunday, a baptism date for the ten year old, and the Mom is going to look for a new job that lets her get off on Sundays. How awesome is that! All because we happened to get a referral for somebody who didn't order a Book of Mormon or Bible, but her name was there and we showed up, I truly believe the Lord had a hand in having that name be there, and for us to go to their house. I hope you guys have an awesome day!
