Last week of Summer!!!
Wow, every week it feels like there is so much to talk about!! But this week I want to focus on one of the coolest things that has happened on my mission! So we have our super awesome investigator named Laura. And the only problem is we haven't been able to get here to come to church. So Friday we decided we would do a lesson in the church and show her that the church wasn't scary or anything.
But right before our lesson we walked out of the office and saw there was a ton of people in the chapel. So we started to panic a little and realized they were having choir practice for the conference with Elder Ballard on Sunday. And so Laura arrived and we did a tour of the church and we felt inspired to ask her if she wanted to sing in the choir, and turns out she is a singer and really really wanted to!!
And although this was just their last practice before the conference, everyone welcomed her and she had a really good experience. And on Sunday morning she woke up before 6 so she could make it on time! And she said afterwards she was just crying when Elder Ballard was speaking and it just so happened that he spoke about genealogy for a while which is her main interest!! It was one of the coolest things ever!!
So to go back alittle, last week we got back from Malta and immediately had to start preparing for this conference, it was crazy!!!! And then before the conference on Sunday, Elder Ballard wanted to meet with all the missionaries and have a meeting. So all of that was on us to prepare, and we were working until the very end, but everything went super smooth and it was one of the most amazing conferences I have been apart of. Not to mention I got to chat with him for a second! He truly is an amazing person.
Then the main conference had SO many people there. Missionaries alone there was over 100, then members from 18 wards and branches! The talks were so amazing and it was such a blessing for all the members here. We did lose our bishop to the stake presidency and found out they are splitting our ward! Then Monday we had our first zone conference of the transfer, so one down 6 to go! But it is a lot of fun and its is a good thing because president told Anziano Kasper and I we will both be here for quite a while! haha So we will probably end up doing half of our mission together by the end!
I love y'all and hope all is well!
Love,
Anziano Bird
