Nerf darts and General Conference

You Can't Tell, but This is a Fat Dog

We have been so excited for General Conference this past week. It was like Christmas the morning of General Conference.  We all woke up at the crack of dawn and got ready for the rest day. It was worth it! 

For now I will tell you of the progress of the Moscow Poluse River and Paradise Ridge Ward's.

We have received a few referrals, but they have all been very busy and unable to meet with us, but that will change soon. We already have some great lessons planned for these individuals, and I need to mention how blessed these people are since we have been since we have been meeting with them. One of them was able to obtain a much needed car after so much walking to her job and with her kids, but they were able to get exactly what she needed and is now able to make more time for us because she is not walking everywhere.

The Six Man apartment adventure is coming to an end tomorrow. Our apartment remodeling is finally done and we can now move in starting tomorrow. We have had a good share of fun, but in all honesty we will probably be able to get more work done without the many distractions of the other elders in a small space. One major distraction was some Elders learning to throw nerf darts (the darts that you should normally put into a gun, but there are not enough guns for everyone so many just resort to throwing) we have darts often flying one way or another and it's a little hectic. 

We were able to get some people to think about baptism! They told us they are seriously considering it, but they need to know more before we put them on date, which is alright! That is the whole purpose of missionaries, to teach people about the covenants we can make with God! 

I loved General Conference Sunday and Saturday. One of my favorite talks was from Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, the one where he talked about the Hobbit. How we are all on a grand adventure. On this adventure we have been promised treasure at the end, and we will grow as we move forward on this adventure. We may face hardships and disappointment, but the prize at the end is worth the travail.

I know that as we embark on this grand journey, we will find that at times when it gets rough we will find a heavenly hand lifting us up, guiding us to where we want to be, and to who we want to become.
