General Conference #3

This week was pretty dang good!

So this weekend was probably the highlight of my week. Getting to
watch all the sessions of General Conference was amazing! Hearing the
Prophet and apostles speak every time grows my testimony that I know
they are messengers of God. So I don't really have a favorite talk
because I think there were so many good ones. So I will give you some
short summaries of my favorite parts and what I got out of them.
Elder Nelson- "We can not teach about the Atonement or pretty much
anything else in this church without mentioning Jesus Christ." We
cannot forget about Christ. We try way too much to teach people the
Plan of Salvation or the Atonement and we forget to mention Christ,
that's not the way.
President Monson- "Read the Book of Mormon daily. If you don't have a
testimony of it then get one." I find it so amazing that he had very
little to say but the stuff he said was about the Book of Mormon and
reading it daily.
Elder Holland- "Do not forget your role. Your role is important and
irreplaceable." Some people say that if you don't do your work then
God will find someone else to do it. That's false your work is your
work, he needs you and only you.
Those were at least three that stuck out to me. I put my take out of
it after the quotation marks.

Well this week we were walking around in Steelton at night in the rain
for what we thought was no reason but that stupid Elder Swisher had a
feeling to be there. As we walked around it was almost 9:00 so we had
to head back soon so we were walking back to our car when this lady in
an apartment complex lobby waved to us so we stopped walked in and
started talking to her. Her name is Poochi. She was one of the nicest
people ever! We showed her the new Easter video and she loved it we
then handed her a Book of Mormon and she was so excited to read it. We
will be visiting with Poochi again in Wednesday and I can't wait! The
Lord leads us to places for a reason we just need to find that reason.

We had interviews with President this week! He is such an amazing guy!
We get along great and had an amazing talk. He makes me feel so great
when I leave our interviews. Once he gets past all the Sacramento
Kings jokes. But we talked about family history and the importance of
knowing our ancestors. We also talked about the importance of a temple
recommend and how we should always be worthy of it. Just overall a
great experience.

Also we worked at the bike shop again! This time I have pictures! But
I love working on those bikes so much! I have gotten really good at
fixing bikes! The only thing I don't know how to fix is the derailer.
But I will learn that at some point. So we work here and never really
get to see a result from our efforts but this time when we showed up
to the bike shop. There were 3 little kids that are refugees from
Syria and they wanted bikes so we went in and grabbed 3 bikes that we
had fixed up the day before! It was so cool to see the smile on their
faces when they were trying out their new bikes! It made me so happy
to see their joy.

Well that was about my week. Hope you had a great week I love you all so much!
