Week 83 - Last General Conference in the Mission Field

Hi Everyone!! 

Here's a rundown of the past week.

Wednesday we had zone conference, and it was awesome! We talked a lot about how we can use our time in better ways. Elder Bringhurst and I also gave a training on a retention plan that we've made for the companionships in our zone. It went really well. Also, we found out after the conference that our investigator Jeremy (who came to church last week) doesn't want to meet anymore because his grandma doesn't want us to. Ahhhh, so lame!!! But it's okay. He'll be more prepared for when he meets missionaries in the future.

Thursday we volunteered at the local food bank, and Elder Bringhurst had to get a massage for some back pain he's been having. I decided I need to get hurt, so I can get a massage too haha! We also taught Troy about the temple, and he's excited to go. The first time he goes will likely be in the Hong Kong Temple because he's going back to China this summer. He's doing well though.

Friday we taught a lesson to a new investigator we found named Larry. He's a really humble guy. He had a stroke a couple years ago that basically paralyzed the right half of his body. He knows a couple members already, so hopefully he can progress well.

Saturday we watched Conference at the Morrisons with Mare. She really enjoyed it! She got to witness a solemn assembly her first conference! She was a little confused, but we all explained it to her afterwords. It was awesome to be able to stand and sustain a new prophet of God! I know we're in good hands! The talks were wonderful as well.

Sunday we watched General Conference again! Man, it was a good time. President Nelson kept us on our toes. I'm glad I've had a lot of practice ministering the past 19 months, and I'm excited to keep doing it at home! Troy watched the first session, and he liked it a lot. He's on track to get baptized this Saturday. It's weird to think that this is my last General Conference on my mission! Next time I watch it, I'll be home!

Monday, we had a lesson with Troy and talked about the priesthood. He said the priesthood session was his favorite part of Conference. He is excited to hold the priesthood after his baptism.

Love you all. Thanks for your support! The weeks are flying by!! Hope you have a good week!
