This week has been great. We are continuing to have success in finding and teaching. The time has flown by this last week, which is good. Because it means we are working hard and have a lot to do.
General Conference was this weekend. General Conference is a time when we get to hear of the inspired men and women that lead the church at this time. From the prophets and apostles of this time. There are 3, 2-hour long sessions on Saturday, and 2 more sessions on Sunday. Elder Johnson and I watched the Saturday morning session at home in the Jensons' (the people we live with) home theater. It was pretty neat to be able to watch that. We watched the afternoon session with a cool family in the area. And we got to go down to the Conference Center (in Salt Lake City) to watch the Priesthood session in the evening. It was amazing!
I think the coolest part was when Elder Russell M. Nelson, one of the Apostles, gave a talk on missionary work. And told all the full-time missionaries to stand up. In the midst of 22,000 other people in the center, I was able to stand up with all the other missionaries.

We also returned to the conference center for the Sunday morning session. And watched the Sunday afternoon session in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was a weekend packed with long days, amazing talks, and the spirit. It was definitely an amazing experience to have, and I realized that this was my 3rd conference to watch as a missionary. Which means I will also be going to the next conference in 6 months. And it will be my last one as a missionary :/ kinda a downer. But just means I need to make every minute of what I have left count.
