April 2, 2012 - "Conference was amazing..."

Conference was amazing as it always is. I didn't really have a favorite this time but I think Jeffrey R. Holland's talk was quite amazing, as he is one of my favorite speakers ever. But Henry B. Eyring's talk was very good as well. I can almost always enjoy all of the talks from those that speak at conference. There are so many good things that can come from the talks of other People. They are meant to strengthen us and help us make a better decision in Life. They truly give us a clear and simple path that is easy to follow if one would fasten to the Holy Spirit. We watched Conference with Less actives at the church the entire weekend. It was good to see that they are making great decisions in their life. There is still so much ahead of us, Young and old! We have time and always have a way back to the path if we are lost.

We commited D and S, Our less active couple, to get married this week. D seems pretty adamont that he wants to tie the knot since they have been together for almost 4 years. He really wants to come back to church and has now been coming for two weeks straight. I think he is the reason I am here. He hasn't been to church since July. I think missionaries were just too focused on trying to get new investigators that they forgot who is in need of all the help possible. He has been thinking of when they want to get married but he is thinking August. We plan on helping him with a good proposal scheme. We are really excited to see them up and enjoying the blessings of the gospel once again. I am really excited for them.

Well The truck is still not done getting out of the shop yet and the mission doesn't give missionaries replacement vehicles so we have been stuck. We have tracted literally EVERYWHERE within walking distance and I'm just beat. One can only study soo much you know? I won't complain though.

Well it's time to go. Thanks for the package mommy I appreciate it much. I hope you are doing well and that you have a good week. Tell everyone I love them! I work hard always!
