This
week we were able to do a lot to help our investigators. There are now probably
a few secure baptisms for this next weekend, but even though the 13th is super
close there are still a ton of wild cards in play.
I really enjoyed conference.
I don't know if it was because it was an exceptionally good conference or just
because as a missionary the Spirit is with me more, but it was easily my
favorite conference I've seen. I decided that I would write down the names of
those who gave my favorite talks so that I could go over them again first, but
my list ended with 12 names so it'll take a minute to take care of things. I
suppose I'll tell you which ones I liked most that weren't by apostles. I'm
just gonna put their last names, not as a lack of respect but rather a lack of
knowledge regarding their titles: Pieper, Bowen, Gay, and the Sister (Cordon) that
talked before Elder Holland. We had 8 investigators who listened to conference
so I'm excited about the enthusiasm we've seen.
For P-day we played dodgeball.
We don't have any big plans still to celebrate Elder Lovaas' complete mission.
In the Christmas package I might need something to charge my camera because I
finally remembered to look for the charger this morning, but I couldn't find
it. But hold on another week before making that call because I didn't have much
time to look.
Something cool we did this week was that President Esquihaus' birthday was
yesterday and he invited us to eat dinner at his house. We had fun. The
funniest thing was probably just seeing President on a happy high due to his
birthday; he made some good jokes.
Something I learned about this week stemmed
from that talk by Elder Oaks that you mentioned. I feel like before the mission
I had a pretty solid issue of searching spiritual knowledge through other means
so that's something I have a great opportunity to change while I'm here in the
mission. (Seeking spiritual knowledge through spiritual methods.)
Love
you,
