Week of October 7

This will be my main email.

Things this week went really well. My new companion is from North Ogden, and we came together at the same time in the mission, so we are both experienced and our work this week showed that advantage. The district leading goes well. It's nice having someone else take over a bit of the responsibility, so I don't have to deal with everything.

Yesterday, we went to go visit one of our investigators, and we were going to see if she kept some of her commitments that we left her, as she had not been keeping them in the past, and if she had not kept them, we were going to drop her. So we go and it turns out that she wasn't there, but her daughter was, and she invited us to share with her anyway. So we sat out in the yard and started to get to know her and she started opening up a lot and she told us of a recent experience that had affected her greatly. She told us she wants to leave behind her past life and "empezar de nuevo" or to start fresh, and the start clean. So we taught her about baptism and stuff. it was cool to find her because we have been praying lately to find those who are prepared to recieve the gospel, and the Lord definitely heard us.

I like what you told me about what Elder Bednar taught, and it's really true, that most people don't get everything out of conference as they could. That's definitely some good advice.

As far as me coming home, i should be scheduled to leave on the 20 of June, and i will get home the 21 because of the length of travel. So I will get home on a Friday. As far as vacations, any of those sound good. I wouldn't mind going to Disney, either in Florida, or in Cali. But a cruise would be cool, and so would a church history tour. You guys decide, I'm really indifferent. but you could go to your conference thing and then we could go on the vacay, but it's up to you guys. That's basically all that i will say on the matter.
