Of course, like most missionaries, I
love conference. I always feel at peace and have my questions answered and
problems addressed. I also love conference because we were able to watch it in English again, which was a huge
blessing. Sister Brown and Sister Jamieson and I continued our Campo grande
tradition of cooping up in the outdated family history center –it was awesome.
We got to spend almost the entire weekend in AIR CONDITIONING!!! There were
about 1,000 mosquitoes in our room, but man oh man was it worth it! It sounds really terrible, but it was soooo nice to
leave our investigators with our companions and listen to and speak English
while munching on snacks and sharing missionary experiences with one
another. It was a wonderful,
spirit filled weekend.
Basically
the entire Sunday morning session was for my family. I was so grateful for them and their constant desire to be
righteous. I still can’t believe how at peace I am about my dad’s illness. Yet
there are moments when I remember how shocking and real this trial is for my
family. The majority of the time,
I am really quite happy, hopeful, and confidant that all will be well.

We
have had a great conference this weekend.
I had 6 investigators come to Campo Grande Stake center for
conference. It was a great
experience for each of them. I feel very blessed to be able to help so many
people--especially to help them change their lives and be baptized. I know that
it is a unique part of my patriarchal blessing--it says TWICE that I will be
blessed to see (and help) many find the path that leads back to our father in
heaven. I know that even though I’m having trials and difficulties during this
mission, the Lord has promised me that I will help many enter the waters of
baptism.

Geisa and Joice, our cutest little investigators that have been coming to seminary EVERY day for TWO weeks, attending every church activity, watching every session of conference, etc. They are really amazingly prepared.
