General Conference

Whattup y'all. Hope you all had the chance to take in the counsel given by our prophet and apostles this last weekend. It was truly enlightening for me, I kind of realized how much I need to be doing better! 

Appointment time! Or is it?

We had a great week of missionary work; we found two new investigators - neither of whom live in the pit! Wahoo. The probability of them going to jail is a lot lower than those from the pit. I have now had 6 of my investigators go to jail, I am hoping that number does not go up any more. 

We had an amazing lesson last night with a man named Aspen. He lives with a recent convert family in our ward. We taught him the restoration last night and the spirit filled the room. We watched the Joseph Smith video and he said that his favorite part was when they got baptized. He is really excited to read the Book of Mormon and get baptized. I am so thankful for wonderful experiences like that. It makes all of the sacrifice worth it.  

We also taught a guy named Derek. He is a hillbilly country boy. He owns a 3,500 acre farm in south Idaho. He is a 2-day catholic (Christmas and Easter). He invited us back. He loved Joseph Smith's experience with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We meet with both of them again this week. Please send your prayers their way!

I hope you all payed attention to Robert D. Hales talk on Saturday. He talked about being a disciple of Christ. I think sometimes we don't understand that we all are disciples of Christ. When you're baptized that is what we agree to. Let us "walk uprightly before the Lord." As we come to know who Jesus Christ is personally, and as he becomes our friend, temptations and sin disappear. So do our carnal desires. Cast off the natural man, take up the yoke of Jesus Christ and become converted to him and his teaching. This is my prayer for all of us as disciples of Christ.

I love you all so much. :) Also I got mail/packages 6 out of 7 days this week! Y'all rock, thank you so much. Getting mail is my favorite thing :)
