It defintiely was a great conference. My third one as a missionary! CRAZY! 1 left. here they broadcast from 12-2 4-6 and 8-10 so we had to just go straight home after the priesthood session. Otherwise we would have gone to wendys. =) i loved it. and i loved watching the videos inbetween. that was neat as well. but yeah we had that tradeoff and then p-day and then conference that not a whole lot really happened. this week we were able to have a great family home evening with a family in our ward. it was awesome we made dinner with them and then washed the gua gua while it was cooking. Their whole fmaily helped us. They are a husbad wife and three kids. Two boys 15 and 14 and then a girl 11 and they all helped us wash the car. we also made the desert for them... better than...almost anything cake. they loved it. She made us what is called pastelon. and its a layer of mashed potatos layer of ground beef layer of more potatos layer of meat and cheese. simple but it was good. Then we shared the story of nephi onthe boat where his brothers tie him up... we had a brick. and all 5 of them had to stand on the brick. its hard to do normally. but we blindfolded on and tied his arms behind his back. The dad. they couldn't do a thing. Then we took it off and read the scripture in 2 nephi 1:21 how lehi blesses them all and tells them to be of one heart and mind. so we tried it again and tried to be more unified and were able to almost do it. the wife kept giving up and didn't want to said it was impossible but the husband was trying to hard. they all learned a lot about unity. it was great! Really made me miss the elder bednar moments of prayer giggling and poking and many other wonderful family home evenings.
Then in conference we were in the english room and there was a woman next to me. She reminding me so much of mom. So much just a warm loving feeling sitting next to her. Just the feeling that whatever happens she is there to help and comfort. I Miss you Mom! You warm heartfilled hugs!
That was my week. Loved conference.
