Well
a transfer has come and gone, and It was a good one. Well I guess I'll
start with the biggest news, and that Is I am getting a new companion
today. The story of what happened this weekend finding out who my new
companion will be is an interesting one. So we were all over at the Zone
Leader's home share and the call came, It was an interesting transfer.
I'll start with what happened to my companion, Elder Mulcahy, he is
getting transferred to the La Sierra Heights ward and he and his
companion are sharing the ward with The Assistants to the Mission
President. As for me, I am staying put and getting a new companion,
except my companion is not really a new companion, in fact he was my
first companion, Elder Elliott, my trainer. I will admit that I was not
very excited nor happy, but I decided to keep my head up and have a good
attitude about the situation. I decided that it was going to be a good
thing and I was going to be happy about it. Then came along this
morning, I got a call from President Smart saying that instead of being
with Elder Elliott I am going to be with Elder Rock. I don't know too
much about him, but I am excited to be with him.
Well General
Conference has come and gone It was absolutely amazing So many of the
Talks seemed to speak directly to me and I got so many impressions from
conference. I really enjoyed Elder Jeffery R. Holland's talk, the first
one of the conference, I can definitely relate to the sister
missionaries that he described at the beginning of his talk, I have had
beer thrown at me, beer spit at and on me, food thrown at me and so on. I
really liked how he focused on how we need to stand up for our faith.
Several of the Apostles spoke about that. Sister Reeves, who is the wife
of the last president of the California Riverside mission, her talk was
really good and the principles were really good that she taught. I
really enjoyed Both of President Uchtdorf's talks, as well as President
Eyring's, and of course I liked both of President Monson's talks. I
really liked Elder Ballard's talk about missionary work, I encourage
everyone to take his advice, and make Preach my Gospel part of your
personal study of the gospel. If you want somewhere to start my personal
favorite chapter is Chapter 5 about the Book of Mormon, I also really
like Chapter 1 about My Purpose. One thing that I felt as I was
listening to President Boyd K. Packer speak was that I think that this
was his last conference address, It was a good one at that, and it was
his Testimony of Jesus Christ.
Well I hope that everyone is doing good,
I love all of you
