Hello hello! First off... GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS HEATTTTT. SOO GOOD. If you have no idea what that is...basically it is when God's prophets and apostles speak to the world and tell us what we need to do and how we can improve. It happens every six months and is such a blessing. Anyone can watch it.

This week was good but I can't remember that much and forgot to write down lots, so here are some bullet points:
- We took Riley's coffee. Riley is probably reading this too haha. No sneaking coffee Riley
- Met up with this guy who really opened up to us and then after the long talk he had with us (we barely said anything), he just said thank you for listening. He said he felt so m.j much better and felt empowered. There is power in listening. I really felt like I could feel God's love for him for a few seconds while talking to him. It was amazing.
- Oh also that guy we found out that he was living with (who we used to be teaching) is actually a crazy dope dealer
- Twenty-one people we are teaching got to watch General Conference this weekend!!! That was sooo cool!
- We ate a grasshopper
- I learned how to thunderclap

Oh, also this week we had transfers. It was sad to say bye to Elder Wright. It was fun being with him again. I got two new companions...Elder Cleverly (from Moses Lake) and Elder Sedgwick (from Orange County). They are both way cool and funny. Being in a trio again is #lit
Someone snagged a pic of me at transfers |
For the month of September as a Zone, President Prier set the goal for the Salt Lake Zone (the zone I'm in) to baptize 21 people in one month. This was the highest amount of people who have been baptized in one month in the last +3 years. Crazy. Much much higher than any recent month. Well...as a zone we got dang close this last month. We all helped 19 people come closer to Christ by being baptized. It was so cool. Next month we will hit it There is power in setting goals!

Are you teaching Solomon? He looks like he'd make a great Bishop someday. Very cool that you helped 21 people listen to General Conference! It was amazing as usual. We love General Conference at our house! Thanks for sharing! love, the Button's
