To The Most Wonderful Family in the World:
Life is now pretty awesome. The vitamin D is really helping even
though it is still super overcast. I think the sun is different here
than in California because it can't seem to get enough juice to burn off
the clouds. It needs some help.
The conference was amazing. I got to shake hands with all of the
general authories there. They passed hand sanitizer around the stand
afterwards, kind of funny to watch. Got a lot of personal revelation
and for my area as well. I took a few pages of notes. That evening was
a YSA fireside for Elder Christopherson and 2 of the other 70s that
were there. Sister Cline and I got to go because we cover a YSA ward.
Pretty nice. Took some more notes there as well.
There were some really cool insights given. The sickle in section 4
of the Doctrine and Covenants is the Book of Mormon. We need to use it
and keep our skills with it sharp. Also Elder Christopherson said that
the strongest missionaries are sent to Utah and Idaho to strengthen the
base and maintain the roots of the church. Pretty cool eh? He also
said we all could have gone to any mission but since the Lord knows us
personally he know which mission will be best for us. There could be
insights we need to learn from the members here, our mission president,
or just the patterns of life. There are of course also certain people
we need to find and teach that need us in particular.
I love the vocal point cd! So good! Been listening to it for 3
days in a row. Alex Boye would be another awesome artist to have. We
can listen to anything that doesn't drive away the spirit. No jazz,
songs with romantic lyrics, a "heavy or primitive beat." It doesn't have
to be Mormon Tabernacle Choir or classical. There is a really good
acoustic Jericho Road song on one of the cds we have that I love. There
are a lot of EFY soundtracks that missionaries listen to. Who knew
some of them would actually be good?
I got a letter from the
Huyetts! Made me happy. Writting a reply today. Hope you don't have
too much fun Mother Dearest. It might be bad for you. :) I love you
all.

P.S. I need another Thing 1 shirt...
