CONFERENCE

October 8, 2012

Hey everybody I sure hope you watched all of the conference sessions because I sure did. But for me the Saturday morning session was something special for me every talk had something to apply to an investigator or to my life. I sure hope that Brandon and Landon heard Russell M Nelson's talk the Saturday session and if not they should go watch it. Because there was something there for them. When he said that the decision to serve a mission will change the destiny of you, your spouse and your future family forever. I hope that you realize that this great decision you are making is the greatest decision of your entire life. Also in the Sunday morning session when elder Jeffery R Holland spoke about conversion. I applied it to missionary service. Now that we have been converted and have served the lord. We have changed our lives and the lives of others. There is no turning back. You cannot go back to where you were before. You have been too close to the lord and you have walked with him as his servant. We love the lord. And we have chosen our path and we cannot falter. I think Elder Oaks just destroyed the whole world with his talk Saturday he hit so many crucial points in our society and that was something that the world needed to hear. And among other things the conference was amazing. I watched the Saturday sessions in English with Elder Flores my zone leader who is going back to Tombstone, Arizona in less than a week. And we watched the last three sessions in Spanish.

We have one investigator who has a baptismal date for this Saturday named Luis Huancho. He is a single man living here in Moyobamba for work, who is originally from a small area in Iquitos called Nauta where my buddy Elder Price is. Anywho, he is progressing very fast and I’m exited to get him in the church he really wants to change his life and he is doing all possible to do so. We have two other investigators that are right on the edge of baptism, but just need to come to church once more. The people here are really good and not keeping commitments, but it's fine we are getting there. We are living in a huge apartment with the zone leaders and it is a lot better living with four than with two let me tell you. So Seth and Jenn think about that ha-ha ;)

I cannot believe that I forgot to say anything about dad’s birthday and Brandon’s soon after. I had it all written out ready to remember in my agenda and I left my agenda in the apartment because we were moving that day. Man did I feel bad ask my companion ha-ha. But you guys know I didn’t forget. But ya what did I always tell Brandon about his mission. That he is going to the Deep South! How nuts that you are going to be in Atlanta ha-ha and Seth and Jenn are moving there as well. And shoot dang when I come home in a year and a half guess what airport I’m going through... Atlanta! Ha-ha we should all just meet there and say what up to Brandon and then take Seth and Jenn home for a week when I finish my time here ha-ha but let’s coordinate that in a few more months ha-ha. But on the real that is going to be a great place for him if he can stay faithful and remember his purpose as a missionary. He is heading in there quick we are only going to have an 8 month difference which is nice! And since he is going English he will get one more transfer in the field than I will. Bro ya needs to start reading the bible. New Testament for sure man hahaha! You have no idea how happy I am to finally know where Black Magic is going. I would like to end with a quote I heard in the MTC. I don’t remember where or who but it is for Brandon and Landon


¨let the Holy Ghost help you decide how to serve, because you already know where¨


You might be exited or bummed about your call I didn’t know what to think when I read Perú but the lord knows you and the people you need to find. I cannot think of another place where I could serve. Study and get ready because you need to hit the ground running because those eighteen year olds are coming in hot ha-ha.

Read the conference talks again and study them. They are revelation from prophets and apostles. So that means they are scripture.
