GOOD WEEK!!!!! Had splits, that was fun I learned a lot that I always learn and forget to put in practice, it's hard with these ''young Elder'' they still don't really know how to teach the way we need to, and my companion is one of those who needs more time before he will take in what I am trying to show him and the way WE ought to be teaching. We're getting there. I love you all. We had good experiences this week, finding new investigators, putting baptismal dates in the first lessons with them, getting our progressing investigators to the church to partake in the experience of a baptism, getting them to church the next day. It was a show. 

     Getting them to understand the need of doing and fulfilling everything. It's all good, and getting better, we are seeing the progress in some the difficulties they are overcoming, the other difficulties and needs and experiences of the others, the stumbling blocks and misunderstandings. Clarifying.Teaching, reteaching. Love. It's great. 

     My companion busted his arm yesterday. MOM THANK YOU FOR THE BIOPACK YOu GAVE ME BEFORE I LEFT IT'S A LIFESAVER; FOR REAL.

     His arm looks pretty bad, but they way it happened was so funny. I am an eagle scout at heart. Boy scout blood, it's in me. 

     I have just had a great week, and President will come on Thursday for interviews, it will be great!!!

 LOVE YOU!!!!

Conference Weekend!

Brett has always loved General Conference but he has extra loved hearing them as a missionary. Everybody going to watch? Listen to the words of modern prophets, feel the Spirit testify to your heart and be enormously blessed for exercising your faith and obeying the impressions you receive. 

     This week was long, short, crappy, and successful!! All that we had to do, pressure form leaders that didn't help. But all in the end the help, support, and blessings of the Lord God Almighty. We have had 8 new investigators this past week and more to come this week! Conference is this Saturday and Sunday and will super fantastic!! The ward is great, I know the area pretty well now and we are still finding plenty of people to teach, like less actives. There was Friday of this week that was torture, we had two lessons that day and the both of us got stress related headaches.....but it was good to learn, we made plans to have more plans and goals. We are already having those in action and seeing the fruits of following promptings and plans. 

     There are so many things the Lord has in store for each one of us. Be the blessing you want in your life, be the friend, child, spouse, teacher, leader, and servant the Lord requires of us all. I love you.

     I really wish I could say more, but It's just to much to mention. The experiences!! So great. I have had the chance to feel the spirit and see it take effect in the lives of others. This is the Lord's work, and I will ever be a part of it.
