Week 14: Conference Weekend

Dear Family and Friends,
     General Conference truly is so amazing.  It is such a blessing to know that our Father in Heaven calls these men to lead us in these days that can seem so scary.  Hearing the words from our prophet and the twelve apostles was an even sweeter experience as a servant of the Lord.

     Some of my favorite quotes from conference were:  "What could be more joyful than sharing eternal truths with God's children?" - Elder Oaks.  "Let the Savior be your caregiver" - Elder Hales.  "We need to pay as much attention to His voice as he does to ours" - Elder Uceda.  ALL of Elder Cornish's talk.  "He endured to the very last drop" - Elder Christopherson.  "We all experience trials and if we are ambitious for Christ we can be happy even during our trials." - Elder Yamashita.  ALL of Elder Russell M. Nelson's talk.  "We can always bless others" - Elder Rasband.  "When we are grateful our doubts will fly." - President Eyring.

     I am so very grateful for the Plan of Salvation and how much happiness it brings into my own life and those who I share it with.  God's plan is perfect.  I know our Savior lives and that he is very aware of every single one of us.

     Funny Story:  One of our recent converts, Jude, had forgotten about conference and showed up at the church at 8:00 am , around 10:00 she was starting to get worried that nobody was showing up!  She called us and told us that she thought that we all ascended to heaven and that we had left her!  HAHA!! Jude is very funny and she was honestly pretty worried.

     I am very grateful for the work and people that the Lord continues to bless Elder Stewart and I with.  This transfer has blown by compared to last.  I am so grateful to be a missionary and I love this work.  Everyone pray for Julia who's baptism is closely approaching.  Thank you!
