Dear Family,
This week has just been solid. Conference was great. That is interesting that the members there have to wait a couple of weeks. We just went to our church building and they broadcasted it there. For the Sunday Afternoon session we watched it at a members house though with a less active family which was great. They also fed us dinner and lunch that day haha. Some of my favorite talks were Dallin H Oaks about sacrifice, Richard G Scotts on receiving revelation, Pres Monson's in priesthood session about Duty, and Dieter F Uchtdorfs on Sunday morning about forgiveness and judging people. All of the talks were good though and I learned a lot. Yes, I can look at your blog website that's not a problem. The pictures don't take too long to download the computers here at the library are pretty fast if you get the right ones.
I liked your experience with contacting mom. We too have been doing a lot of that lately. We met this really sweet dude named Alonzo at the library. He helps drive people to doctors appointments and stuff when they need a ride. Before we could even teach a lesson with him, he came to church and really liked it! We also received a referall the other day for a man who requested a book of mormon in hungarian. I'm not sure yet if he speaks english or not but we have plans to go talk with him today. Things have been going well for us here. We traded vehicles with the zone leaders so we had to give up the brand new truck. We have a mazda now. It's name is the sweetpea because it is green and has been around for a while. It has 46000 out of the 50 allowed on mission vehicles so i'll probably drive it until it dies in the mission. Sadly, that is not an april fool's joke. I didn't really have a chance to pull many pranks today and none got pulled on us. The sister missionaries in our district did lose their keys last night though. They also don't have a car so we went to the church building (because they go to the same building as us to watch conference) and spent some time looking for them there but never did find them. I don't know what they ended up doing last night. Probably stayed at a members house or something.
I'm still trying to get to know all of the members and more importantly the recent converts and less-active members. The LA's like to avoid us but this last week we actually got in with quite a few of them. Not a lot of them are all that excited about the church or the gospel in general, but at least they let us in :). Along with conference again i really felt that a lot of it was focused on the family and the different roles that we all have as a part of our divinely appointed unit. I'm so greatful to have a loving and supporting family like I do and know that I love each and every one of you.
