3 words- BEST. CONFERENCE. EVER. okay... I might say that every conference, but it was such a great experience this weekend! Can I just tell you that I love the Prophet and Apostles with all my heart! They are such amazing men! wow... Where do I even begin?
But conference was absolutely amazing!!! I just want to share all my notes with you all, but there would be no time if I did that. So maybe just a few highlights.
I loved Chery Esplin's talk about the sacrament. I had actually been praying to find ways to make my sacrament experiences more meaningful.
I love how we can learn from Uchdorf's talk, how we can apply Moroni's promise in all that we do. Even as members! If we follow these steps we can strengthen our testimony.
And how amazing was Anderson's talk about Joseph Smith? He pointed out how opposition is necessary. If people did not have desires to seek out these questions, then they would have no reason to be sent to their knees. But they need to search the right tools. I also loved how he said to record your own voice reading the Prophet Joseph Smith's testimony.
But I haven't even started with Sunday's session, but I probably won't have time. Just know that I absolutely LOVED every second of it! I hope you all did too! Thanks for sending your own favorite parts of the talks. It is so interesting to see the different views from each of you. Also big news, 2 of our investigators came to conference this weekend! They really loved the talks, and I can see such huge progression in them each and every day. The members were really welcoming as well, and even invited one of them to go hang out after the sessions. This work is amazing!
Well I will start off with earlier in the week, with one of our golden investigators. His name is Christian, and I am sure I have talked about him before. Well we had the most amazing lesson with him as we shared our testimonies about the Restoration. It was amazing to see the difference we saw in his character. He had a new sense of confidence, and actually looked us in the eyes. He even told us that all his friends were asking why he was so different. He also told us we had questions about the Book of Mormon (Music to my ears!). He went on to ask us why Laman and Lemuel did not listen to their brother Nephi and their father Lehi. He continues by asking why Nephi killed Laban? and much much more! You know when they are actually reading when the have questions. He has also read every single day, so he is pretty far in the Book of Mormon. He also accepted his baptismal date, and was so excited! Sad news is, he was planning on going to conference with us this weekend, but his parents have forbidden him to go, also to stop taking lessons from us. It just broke our hearts, but we aren't going to give up.

Love one another as He has loved them x3 as Dallin H. Oaks says. It really helped me realize that kindness is essential, and even though we face differences everyday, we can react kindly.

Tad R. Callister? Wow.. It is so important to make sure that we are each saying our morning prayers, but have this spiritual armor every day.
I LOVED JORG KLEBINGAT, answer received.
And who wasn't moved by Elder Holland's talk? There is a reason why he is one of my favorites.
And did you guys notice how most of the talks had lots of similarities? And how it was later said from Nelson that when all the Apostles, Prophet, and leaders speak in unity it is because it is the voice of the Lord.

I will send more notes next week! Oh and I also got to play volleyball today, and dad you would be so proud... I accidentally spiked the ball on some poor Elder!
Have a wonderful week! I love you all~
