Week 68: General Conference

Hola family,

Scripture of the week: 1 nephi 3:7,15

Well yup it is monday, so that means i am not going to the temple tomorrow. We found out friday night that Elder Nielsen is being transferred tomorrow, so i will be gettting a new companion. Pretty sad our companionship only lasted 6 weeks, but the lord has things in store for us this transfer. I will be getting a companion that is a new zone leader so i will be training another one. Two zone leader babies dang!

 

Sounds like you all had a great week with moscow, ashton, and genconf! Life is good!

Conference was pretty fantastic. I forgot my conference notes so i cant give you all of my normal insights so you will all just have to rely on your own insights for a little while. But i will give you the list of talks to re listen to asap...

• Linda S. Reeves
• Dallin H oaks priesthood session
• David A. Bednar
• Bayd k. packer
• Lawrence Corbridge
• D todd christopherson
• Elder Ballard

Thats the list of some of my favorites and of course elder holland as well.

 

Not a whole lot other stuff happened this week. Tuesday we had our leadership meeting and then that night we got to drive the mission van to vermont to return missionaries. I got to spend the night back in Essex and it was just amazing, sister poll made me cinnomon rolls. Pics will follow.

 

Elder and Sister Poll

So this week our car was in the shop cause elder Nielsen hit a snow bank back before i got here. So instead of walking all week president let us drive the 15 passanger van we call it moose. Well moose looks alot like one of those creeper kidnapping vans, and we pulled into a subdivision to contact some less active peeps and saw a sign that said neighborhood watch, we then both looked at each other and said yup we will come back another day when we are not in our creeper van. Gotta love it.

 

Im excited to see who my new companion will be. I had a dream this week that it was Elder Vanderholm. Fat chance of that happening, but it would make my life if it did happen!

I will attach some pictures from this week here in a second. Feel like i dont have much to report, but i sure do love all of you guys.

 

I was doing a study this week and came up with the following...

In D&C 90:11 the lords says that everyone will hear the gospel in his own tongue we always think of that as his own language but i have decided that could very easily be taken to mean in his own way or style or fashion, in what ever way will best touch his heart. Well along with that, every one does missionary work in their own way as well... the lord will put people in your path that will be touched by the way you do missionary work. Never forget that!

Hope that made sense. Sure do love ya
