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!!!!
