Week 19

Conference was amazing, I loved it! We got to watch it with some of
our investigators. Elder Holland's talk was my favorite, he was so
powerful. I've seen talks like that when he speaks about his mission
to missionaries and I love those talks, so seeing this one was
awesome. I also really liked Elder Richard G Scott's talk. It was the
first one after President Monson's opening remarks. Also Elder Tad
Callister from the Quorum of the Seventy, he really rebuked what
bad things people say about the church and as missionaries I wrote
some down so now I have the answers when anti people try to talk
with us lol.

So who did BYU play?  We went to the Temple this morning at 6:30
and it was a great session. I sat with my first District Leader, Elder Bly,
I love that guy! He goes home in December so I'm glad I got to see
him again. With my priesthood lineage, I would like it if you could
maybe print out a copy, shrink it and laminate it so I could it carry
around in my scriptures. If that's too hard, just a printed off copy you
send me would be great.

Lisa is getting baptized this Saturday, October 10th, Sara is getting
baptized the 27th and Brian is getting baptized the 6th of November
(he changed it because he's marrying a member and they're getting
married the 7th and wanted all the family to be there so it's going to
be the day before the marriage.) I am so excited for Lisa's baptism!
I think she might ask me to do the baptism because I've been with
her since the beginning and she doesn't know a lot of people at
church yet. I think it would be so cool to get to do that! I'll send
pictures next week after it.

The weather here is so cold now! It frosts every morning now and is
freezing. The weekend was all raining and windy so that was no
good. I'm good with clothes and everything now.

Well I love you guys and hope all is well.  In my Book of Mormon
reading, I loved King Benjamin's address to his people in Mosiah
chapters 3-6. He really says so many things that will help us in
our days. I know the Book of Mormon was written for our day
by faithful prophets that did see us and our challenges. I love
the Book of Mormon. I love you.

p.s. yesterday we had some fun in the morning, Bishop Young
called us (we live with him) and told us to go help his wife put
the cows back in the backyard. The gate was left open and
they were running out in the street, so it was fun chasing them
down with sticks and trying to get them back there haha ...cows
are so much bigger when they're out in places where they don't
belong.
