General Conference

First letter of the Day...

Hey mom I'm doing good, Just got told I only have 10 min left from the Employment center lady because there are other people here (eye roll emoji) so I will be back and hopefully be able to get on, But I'm doing super good, Conference was awesome!! But I wish you the happiest birthday ever!!!!!<3

Two Hours later...

So things are going great, the sisters baptism was awesome! So many people were able to attend it actually was out the door at the very back of the room watching haha, so there was a little technical difficulty though, the plug for the font was in but the water was still exiting through it, there was this thin plastic flap thing that we put over it but when we started filling it moved it a little bit, and so water was still draining. So when the time came for her to be baptized the water level was pretty low so she went forward instead of backwards! Super interesting, never seen it done that way before. And then later that night the sisters put someone else on date which is awesome! And earlier in the week the zone leaders put 2 people on date, which isn't very common in a YSA ward so good for them! S. is doing alright, still no job but he came to the Sunday conference sessions which is good, I think he is becoming super dependant on the missionarys for everything though, rides, information and invitations to things. The branch hasn't really started reaching out and helping him with anything past saying hello and stuff at church, which is a good thing to do but he calls us almost every day and he needs to find friends in the branch because missionarys move and change so idk whats going to happen when i leave:/ 

I was able to watch all of the sessions of Conference and it was super awesome! It's so crazy how much more exciting it is for me as a missionary than it was before the mission. I will try and send a pic or video tomorrow for your Birthday if i can be we don't have a dinner with anyone tomorrow so I'm not sure if I will be able to:( but I will try! If the opportunity arises I'll take it! I love you so much! I'll send picture in just a second!

So we just switched Elder Bird as the designated driver haha
