General Conference!

This week was fantastic! It feels like it has been about 2 days since I last emailed because of the Tuesday thing last week! But I will try to keep you all updated with everything! But let's first talk about general conference! I have never in my life felt the confirmation of the spirit as powerfully as I did when President Nelson spoke to us, he is a prophet of God and the words that he spoke this weekend are true! I love that we have the spirit to help us discover truth, and I hope that you all know that you can receive answers through the Spirit! I know that I was able to receive them as I watched conference, and I know that if we take the prophets counsel to go back and re read and listen to the talks given, we can find answers again to help us in our daily lives!

So now let's rewind to Tuesday! It was a pretty normal p day! We went to this place called burgrito! They make a hamburger into a burrito and it's pretty good! There is only one in the state of Wisconsin and it is closed on Mondays so we decided to go since we had p day on Tuesday! Then we just chilled at the institute building and played pool and ping pong the rest of the day! Good times!

Wednesday was a good day! We had a lesson with Brennan and we were able to teach him the Gospel of Jesus Christ! He is still trying to find out for himself how to get answers, sadly he didn't watch conference to help, but we should be meeting with him shortly to talk about it some more! Then we had exchanges Wednesday night and I went to the zone leaders area with Elder Cox, who I have now been on like 4 or 5 exchanges with! So that's a lot, and there is so much I have learned from him! But it is always good to be around him! We were able to teach a lesson that night to Mirco, this really cool dude that might come to institute!

Thursday we ended up on exchanges for longer than expected because of the ways schedules worked out. Elder Cox played some organ at a funeral that neither of us knew about until the day of. Then we did some finding and exchanged back! That's pretty much all I remember about Thursday!

Friday we had the zone leaders car because they car pooled to a meeting with some other elders and that was great for us! We had a service opportunity in the morning and the car cut our travel time in half, and then we gave the car to the other set of elders because we realized that all we would be doing the rest of the day was weekly planning! So we went back and did our weekly planning and a little bit of contacting people, and then we get a message from Son so that started a rollercoaster of searching through the journal of discourses to read something he didn't like... sometimes I don't know where he gets this stuff from!  But it was pretty easy to handle, so that fire got put out! And Son watched conference, so that was a good thing!

Saturday we pretty much watched conference, did our studies and then had a little bit of time that we thought we were going to be able to find, but turns out that we had to do calls so that was the rest of the day haha!

Sunday was pretty much the same thing! Our ward had an activity before conference where we made pumpkin spice pancakes, and I didn't think I would like them but they were really really good! It was awesome, but we rode with some members and for some reason we all had heard that it started at 9:15 so we got there at 9:30 and there was no one there... so turns out it was at 10, so we ended up playing at a park for about 30 minutes before we went over to the house! It was awesome! I have some fun pictures!  Then we were able to enjoy conference with all the members at the church and even one of the members invited a new friend and he came and we taught him the first lesson! So we are excited that we have a new person to teach too!

So that sums up my week! There is a lot of cool stuff happening! Transfers are next week and there will probably be some switch up with our companionship! But I hope you all got the chance to watch some conference and get some answers! If not do it this week! Stay blessed!
