So conference was awesome! We were able to get Scott Schram one of our investigators to priesthood session and another session, so that was way cool! He liked it a lot, so hopefully we can get him in the water soon, he was raised rlds and so he has already been baptized and has told us that, so we are going to have to go into detail about priesthood authority and probably the history of the church. he is way sweet though. So i left my notes at the apartment, but my favotite talks were probably Dieter F Uchtdorfs talk about patience, i wrote a page about that talk, good stuff. Boyd K Packers talk cleared up a lot of things for me about blessings and priesthood and stuff, President Thomas's talk were all amazing, he is such an awesome guy, it blows me away. Henry B Eyring is one of my favorite speakers too, his talks were good. I wish i had my notes i had so many good quotes and i cant think of them right now. but ya there were some sweet ones. Some of them i will be sharing with my gators when i can print them off.
But other than conference it was just a normal week. We were able to teach some of our gators. We have some really cool ones right now so hopefully in the time im here we can baptize them. that gives me three months. if not whatev. We have Scott, who came to conference, we will hopefully be going fishing with him soon, Valorie Palmer is really interested in Joseph Smith and thats why she started wanting to learn more. Weaver gave her Our Heritage, so she can read about him, i would rather she read the BoM but whatever, Marcia i havent met yet, but she seems pretty solid from what i have heard, Chris has been an investigator, he is the one i think is a crack addict, hopefully not. He needs to get in da wata too. One thing cool that happened, Wednesday i went on splits with some members, i went to some old ladys house and her son and his family were there, so i was like score, i can teach the whole family now. I had it all planned out in my head what scriptures i would share and how to bring up the BoM and everything, and i asked if i could share something and they said yes, and i asked if they were religious at all, and they said, ya were mormon, we just dont go.....i was happy but at the same time sad because i wanted to get some new gators. But it turns out the daughters that were there arent baptized and so one of them asked how our church is different than the Baptists(i dont know why we are always compared to the baptists)so i got to talking about the restoration of the gospel and the priesthood and they were all listening to the lesson and it was way cool. They want to come to church and have us come over more, so that was good, but the two daughters have now become our investigators, yay!
This district is absolutely insane....I cant stand it actually, 5 sister missionaries 4 elders, and a senior couple.....shoot me in the head. There is only one guy i like and thats elder darley my district leader. We have a 29 year old sister that acts like a 17 year old.....i think everyone here remembers bessie smith...its like her all over again. Its rediculous, i just kinda sit in the back and fall asleep while all the girls are talking....Woe is me!
