This last week was
incredible but extremely busy! I had two conferences to go to! The first one
was a two day leadership conference in Irmo which was super awesome! I got a
lot of really great ideas of how to become a better missionary and a great
leader in the future. It was really cool because I got to meet a lot of new
missionaries and see my old friends such as my MTC companion Sister Dent and Sister
Smith from the MTC. I love those two girls so it was awesome to get to see them
again. Also get this! In the conference, President Holm told us some pretty
cool stuff! 1) As of this past transfer, there are more sister missionaries
than English elders in the mission! That's kind of awesome considering that at
the beginning of this year, they only had 20 sister missionaries! Now they have
like 120ish! Crazy stuff! 2) An apostle is coming to my mission next month!
Pres. Holm didn't tell us but I'm super pumped either way!
Then there was General
Conference... HOLY COW! It was the best! I felt like so many of the talks
applied to me so it was pretty awesome! We also got our investigator, D to
come to the Saturday Afternoon session of Conference! (Apparently he did not
move to North Carolina... We don't really know why but we're glad he's still in
our area!) D really liked Conference! He told us at the end that he would
be willing to sit through another 2 hours of it! He loves that they quoted
the New Testament so much and he loved all of the speakers. I'm so glad that he
was able to come and I really hope that those talks helped him understand the
importance of a modern day prophet and apostles, which is one of his big
concerns right now.
Well here we are! The last
full week of the transfer! By the end of this week, Sister Craig and I will
know who's being transferred and if we're training or not. I'll end this email
with that and let the suspense build for the next week... I wish I had more to
say but not a whole lot happened this week with 4 of the 7 days being taken up
by conferences! Anyway, I hope y'all have a great week :)
