Yeah General Conference was absolutely outstanding. We had breakfast and watched General Conference with a member family and they invited their neighbors from across the street. The funny thing was we talked about what happens after we die, the struggles we go through and others around us go through, and it was all talked about during General Conference. The wife was super excited about everything, so hopefully we'll have the opportunity to teach and share the gospel with the both of them soon. The two hour block is going to be kind of weird, but super nice. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes. Then all those temples, some of them were really close to China, so who knows, it could be opening up sometime in the near future.
Elida is doing really well. She passed her baptismal interview and is really excited for it coming up! She invited a ton of her family and said there'll probably be about 14 of them, so I'm hoping and praying a lot of members come to support her as well. It'll be her birthday as well, so we are super excited for her! I know, I know, I'll make sure to take plenty of pictures for you this week, I'm getting a tiny bit better, but its progress!
Super glad to hear about how everything is going back home. Sounds like Bryson is having a ton of fun over there, and it stinkin snowed?! Oh wait its Pinetop, for some reason my thought process was "Gilbert doesnt get snow, what in the world?!" But I'm glad he's having fun, that little stinker is gonna get a kick in the behind for every week he forgets to email... But otherwise thanks for those encouraging words, I'm trying to do what I can, and do it even better. Elder Utchdorf's quote about" Believe, Love, and Do" has been sticking with me so hopefully I can use the gospel to improve my actions as well. That's one thing I've been trying to do better with, is trying to reach out and love like Jesus Christ does, I'm going to try and have a better conscious about it.
Sounds like its crazy as ever over there. On our end over here, we got to go to the Squash Farm again and do a lot of demolition. We put roof tiles around trees and smashed them with a hammer, got to also try and punch the tile with a gloved hand, big mistake, my knuckles hurt for a good bit, the feet are much more effective. Then we also got to catch some mice in the stake building... Lets just say we spent a good amount of time trying to catch about 5 mice in the building in between sessions. Extremely entertaining though. Just imagine 6 missionaries running around the building and in rooms trying to catch mice with the church garbage cans. Now you have seen it all. Then last night while we were walking around we talked to this older man who told us a rocket was going off in a couple minutes, so we sat and watched with him as this test rocket shot off into the air and soared across the sky. It was pretty sweet to watch.
Whats the rest of the plans for Fall Break? And yeah, it has started to cool down, but I'm nice and cozy so no need to worry over here. The only thing I have to worry about is it gets dark at 7:00PM so thats fun. But we are working with it. LOVE YOU MOMMA!! I'll try and respond to emails today. Keep warm over there!!
