Conference Weekend!

So this week was pretty slow especial having conference take up a lot
of proselyting time.

But conference was amazing! I enjoyed every session and every talk
given. There is just something about being on a mission that makes
general conference like the super bowl! It is just so exciting for
missionaries. And then of course you have all of us dorky missionaries
cheering when our favorite apostle gets up there. I watched so many
missionaries freak out when Jeffery R. Holland got up to speak. Hahaha
no better experience like being surrounded by missionaries on
conference weekend.

For conference we went to the church building for every session there
were some sessions where we had the chapel just full of missionaries.
It was a fun time my mom sent me a big package full of food and so
that was my conference snack. My favorite talk was by Dallin H. Oaks
in the Saturday 2nd session. He just threw done on how we need to be
doing missionary work. We can't just somewhat try every now and then
like most of us do. We need to constantly be doing missionary work. He
said that our testimony and conversion to this gospel is based off of
how much we try to share it. So if you are constantly trying to share
this amazing gospel then your testimony will not faultier it will be
strong, stronger then ever before. As you continually testify your
testimony will grow every time. The other thing that I heard in almost
every talk given was to not be afraid to share you testimony. Don't be
afraid to testify!

Well no that I finished my rant about missionary work. Haha this week
was great. We got a Book of Mormon referral for a guy named Robert. We
stopped by and started sharing the restoration with him. And even
before we said anything to him he looked at us and said "guys I can't
wait to read the Book of Mormon!" We haven't even told him what is was
about or anything we just handed it to him and he was already excited!
The lesson went great and hopefully we will be able to continue to see
Robert and he will continue to have that excitement.

We also OYMed this old guy on his porch one night and he didn't seem
very interested but we gave him a card with our number on it and told
him we would love to give service. He ended up giving the card to his
neighbor and she called us and asked for service and a lesson. So we
are going to go see her on Thursday! And I'm excited to meet her face
to face.

Well that was pretty much my week. Thank you for all your love and
support. Hope you all have a great week.
