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!
