Man, conference was awesome. It is crazy how six months ago I could barley sit through a session and now it is like watching the super bowl mixed with the Oscars. I learn so much, and everything we need to hear is worded so perfectly, and exactly what we need to hear, I had no idea how important conference is, and no I feel like I wasted so much time in the past only watching sunday conference. I feel so stupid, because it is all so awesome. Easter here was cool.
No one but one family showed up to the church for the Saturday session, which was good because we couldn't find out how to turn the satellite from English, so we watched it on the computer hooked up to a tv. Sunday was a different story. A lot of people come Sunday.
No one else can understand the English satellite instructions in our ward, so it was somehow our job to set up the broad cast of general conference, and after 2 hours of waiting the Lords time I finally got it to German! They don't exactly show us how those things work in the mtc. 5 minutes before conference was suppose to start, I finally noticed the help number printed on the satellite, and Salt Lake just fixed it to Spanish in 20 seconds. After the first session, we all ate an awesome potluck lunch, and then we watched the second one. After that we went a'teachen, but didn't have time to eat until we came home at 9, and my Easter dinner was a can of beans and chicken nuggets. I didn't even taste it, I was so exhausted.
It has been a bit of a hard week, not gonna lie, with appointments falling off the map to forgetting the phone in a town 40 minutes away (not my fault, just saying). One thing I have learned is the unbelievable importance of members. Missionary work really can't find success without them. You guys are the examples, the anchors to show investigators how to apply the things we teach about, how we can even find people who need the gospel. Please, do all you can to help the elders in your ward, they need it. Set time to go out with appointments with them, fellowship the investigators as much as you can, strengthen them, invite the investigators to dinner. We teach them the gospel, its up to you guys after that to keep them in the ward and included. We are only in an area for a few months. if you do this, i swear you will see your ward grow. And don't ever be afraid to share the gospel. it is so easy, just share one of the church videos, I had no idea how many awesome church videos there are, about every subject! Here is one they made for easter!
