Hey everyone! How have you all been? I love hearing from you. This last week was pretty crazy. Most of our lessons fell through but that's ok. We saw how things were better because of it.
We had a multi-stake conference yesterday which was pretty good! We got to hear from 3 people which.... idk who they were but also D Todd Christofferson. We didnt really know why we had the conference but it was good and we felt the spirit.
We also had Zone Conference on Thursday which was really Good! I even stayed awake the whole time. It was overall just really good, we were all commenting and participating so it went really well. I love Zone Conference and seeing President and Sister Wright.
Elder Salsbury and I havent felt like were making progress with... really anyone. I mean... dont focus on numbers and that didnt stop us from going out and working hard but we felt like we hit a brick wall. As you know, we have been working with the Owens for awhile, but we weren't able to meet with them very much the last 2 weeks because both of them had surgery. Which wasnt good because that was right after we set a baptismal date with their daughter. We have been trying to visit them and saw them a few times in the hospital. What we didn't realize was every time we went over, every time we helped them, sister Owens' has been watching us. She sees how kind and loving the church has been to them and their family when her church doesn't check up or do anything to her or her mom. She loves how we make everyone feel like a family. This women had a previous experience with a Mormon family that bible bashed her, ON HER DOORSTEP! She had a bad taste of Mormons in the first place but has started to realize that we aren't all like that. She is now thinking about baptism and "becoming a Mormon." It is super cool to see diligent work pay off as well as member missionaries visiting them and that influence. Im so glad we could make a difference.
As far as me... I am honestly doing very well. I found this quote (down below) earlier this week and I loved it. My invitation is for you to look up just any general conference talk. Maybe search a subject that has been on your mind for awhile and see what you can get out of it. I know that hearing the voice of our apostles can bring the spirit, I listen to talks almost every morning. I promise that you will be able to get something specifically for you if you listen to a talk with a question in mind. You will also be able to feel the spirit.
Awesome quote from our awesome prophet
I love my calling, I love these people. They all make me so happy and like I said before, they make you feel like family. They are awesome. I love serving the Lord and would rather not be doing anything else. I love you guys all so much. Have a great week :)
Love,
Elder Larson
