Conference was everything I needed and more! I was praying that I'd hear something that would change my life and it did. MAN. I'm so happy! I've never felt the spirit like that in General Conference. I've felt it for sure, but not that consistent. I took LOTS of notes that I'm gonna be looking over for the next 6 months. It's crazy to think I only have 1 more conference left on my mission... Once April comes, I'll be home 3 months after that. I'm not really looking forward to it, because I love the mission. HOLY COW I love my mission!!!!!!!

This week we had Zone conference in Paris, Idaho. It's a little town close to the border of Utah. It was settled by members and there's a lot there! We had it in the Paris Tabernacle which the pioneers built in 1884. It's beautiful!!!!! They let me play the HUGE pipe organ. I'll try and attach a video. President Southward asked me to play the organ for another Zone conference on the 20th. We will have a member of the Quorum of the Twelve there, so I've been practicing haha!!!!

I'm pumped for Wednesday morning when we have someone from the missionary department coming! It's exciting!!! Then Friday we have MLC in Pocatello. Elder Damms will be coming with me because he has to take a driving test because he was driving recklessly in his previous area. So I'll drop him off at the mission office before we go. It'll be my first Mission Leadership Council, so I'm excited. The person from the Mission Department will be there as well! So double time with him.

We are slowing down on teaching. We've decided to visit active members from around 7:30 till the end of the night and teach lessons, ask for referrals, and get to know them. We can't do this work without members!!!!! They hold the keys to prepared people and are the only way missionary work will be taken to everyone.

Here's some pics...
