Conference Weekend!!!!

Hmmmm well conference was all good we don't get to watch the last session cause it is too late at night but we will probably watch it later this week. I think something that would be good to do Every Day would be to share a story about Christ and how much he loves everyone. I recently have been trying to grasp the reality of the atonement and it almost brings me to tears every time. The fact that Christ would take every single pain and affliction for every single person in the existence of ever is so powerful and not only that but he did it all by himself. He needed to without help, needed to personally overcome every single sin ever. Its amazing. I love everything that I have learned on my mission, thank you for always making me goto church and to my classes and being super strict with me most of the time;) I would not be the person I am today without the example that you and dad have set for me.

This is what he wrote Dad:

It has been a great week. We have been doing lots of finding and we have been getting flogged a lot as well. Conference was awesome, I learned a lot from it. I especially loved Elder Eyring and Elder Hollands talks. They are my two favourite speakers of this conference. We don't get to watch the last session here so I don't know anything from that one? Anything super cool about it? Transfers are on the 20th, yes its a Monday, President is going to a training to teach us all how to use Ipads, we are getting them in the start of may so the transfers are shorter. It will be very exciting. We have an investigator named Dave, he is probably one of my favourite investigators. He keeps wanting to learn everything deep about the gospel and we are trying to teach him all the basics so he can understand those deep things. He is very Humble he has MS so he is in a wheel chair. He has learned to do so many random things its unreal.

Gospel Changes Lives

Hola!
Well im going to try and be more detailed in this letter cause I feel inspired to be;)
This week was good! We have been street contacting so much this week! I don't know how often you went out finding but we do it for about 6 hours every day. Its insane how many people we talk to. We seem to get around 7 potentials per 70 or 80 people and only 1 investigator per every 20 potentials. so life is busy. The investigators we do have are all kinda at a stand still right now. No one is progressing too much except for a man named john. We texted john last week randomly, he was a number in the phone that has been there for ages, and he called us back and set up a return appointment. When we met with him he said that when we texted him he was having a really hard time with life and that he was contemplating suicide. We have been meeting with him since and he is sceptical of everything but he is slowly warming up to it all! its great to see how much this Gospel can change anyones life. I got a copy of the teaching of the prophet joseph smith and I have been digging it! ive been studying so much of it and have been trying super hard to apply it to my missionary work. Its been going pretty good so far. We are going to have interviews and exchange and conference this week its going to be super busy! As for things I need, Everything I own is starting to break or wear down. My shoes are good thank goodness. But my trousers are starting to fall apart, that's what I get for buying primark quality trousers haha. I can probably last another month with the ones I have now but ill need to get some new trousers soon. I need money for a new backpack as well casue mine is on the last leg of its journey haha. But I can last a bit longer with it. maybe another 2 weeks I don't know im not a magician I don't know how long they will last.
Love you!!!!
