Happy Birthday, Jesus!

General Conference.  Santa Vaca!  Conference was shweet!  I cant believe it was my 4th and final conference in the  mission!! It's been cool how all 4 conferences have either been on my birthday or half-birthday in the mission.

I followed the trusty ole pattern from el hermano de Jared of preparing stones and presenting them to the Lord to light up with his finger. I didn't prepare 16 questions this time around, but I still followed the principle.  The Lord never ceases to remove more and more of the veil as we diligently seek and ask. The talk that impacted me most was Elder Holland's talk about the kid getting saved by his brother as he was falling. I don't know why that one was my favorite.  I didn't even have any specific questions that it answered and I can't honestly recall much of it, because I was too into it to take notes... but I definitely remember how I felt and I can't wait to study it shortly!  Conference was the best! I loved how it was all focused on the simple, most important things. 

We made some really good progress this week with our ward mission leader and branch president! We had a good meeting and we all got on the same page. (Preach My Gospel page). These past couple days have been the best so far working with the leadership in the branch. I'm sure there are many good things to come!

My companions are amazing, so Christlike and humble.  I'm striving to be more like them every day. 

Sorry, no time for a solid email.  I  gotta go disc golfing :)

Love, Elder P
