Lots of things happened this week!
- We had a fun district meeting on Wednesday where we talked about setting
expectations to get to church. We created mini lesson plans for doing so.
- We found a family that is super prepared and ready to be baptized! :) :)
:)
- Conference of course! We spent time over at the Archuletas for the
morning session. David has two younger siblings that both play Pokémon, Fire
Emblem, Rune Factory, etc. hahaha we all get along almost too well. I loved
Elder Holland's talk from that session
- For the next session we went to the Despains... had some good talks there
too
- Watched priesthood session at our investigator's house that's getting
baptized on Saturday. Great talk by Elder Oaks.
- Sunday morning was at the Westenskows. WHAT A SESSION. Loved Elder
Ballards talk, and really suggest you take his advice to study PMG. Elder
Bednar's talk was really nice as well.
- Elder Bass had never been to conference before so we got tickets to sit
right on the front row for the Sunday evening session! Always great to get to
stand when President Monson comes in. Elder Christofferson's talk is probably my
favorite from this year... It's very familiar to me b/c of President Monson's
talk I think in May 2010. Very similar structure.
- Overall busy and happy and fun and stuffs.

thought: conference
I always appreciate when we get to hear the apostles special witnesses of
Christ. That's one of the reasons why I loved both Elder Holland's and
Christofferson's talks. As you combine their two sure witnesses, you see a
powerful concept arise.
1) Christofferson - Christ is a living, resurrected being
2) Holland - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has God's
restored priesthood keys
#1 gives all of Christendom merit. It is a truth, and Elder Christofferson
does a great job stating just exactly what that means.
#2 gives our church additional merit. Again being truth, it means that
sacred ordinances administered under the priesthood authority in the LDS church
are recognized as saving.
Anyways it's always nice to be able to "lean on some trees of life" every
once in a while if/when going through doubts or trials.
