Conference was so amazing! There were so many talks that i just absolutely loved! My current favorite is probably the talk by J Devin Cornish, that one was so awesome. General conference was just so good in general! I loved all of the talks. I also really loved president monsons talks. I thought he gave some really good counsel. 

Also. On saturday between sessions of general conference I figured out that i'm  being transferred to cheyenne tomorrow. I also figured out that i'm going to be serving in a YSA ward with elder coleman! Remember the guy that screams really loud? Lol that's him, he's my new companion. Elder hatch is staying here in the lakeside ward with a guy named elder robbins. I heard he's a really good missionary, so that'll be good. It's kinda stressful to leave but i know that the calling came from the Lord, so i'm excited to see what i learn this upcoming transfer. 

Because i'm being transferred i dont have a lot of time to email today, which is a bummer. I still have to pack and go say goodbye to lots of people. I think yesterday we went and took pictures with a bajillion people. I'll include pictures of that.

I am super grateful that you keep updating me on everything the kids are doing. I love hearing about their lives, the ups and downs and how they are handling them. Thanks for the pictures too! I got the email when we had wifi at a members house for missionary coordination meeting and i proceeded to show everyone there the pictures of them with nametags. I'm very late in sending yours and Leslie's, but they will hopefully get there before next Pday so i can get pictures of those too :)

I am on the last chapter of Jesus the Christ, and i love that book. I'm trying to decide whether to start that one over again or start reading another one when I finish it. A talk that really helped me understand mercy and forgiveness was one called "the Savior wants to forgive" i think it's by Craig a. Cardon or something like that. It's a great talk. I absolutely love it!

Every time we sung an intermediate hymn, i totally just imagined you guys at home singing too, and it was a way for me to feel close to you guys, thinking that we were singing the same song at the same time. A lot of times when you are at houses, other people don't sing. Which is boring. But i sang anyways because i wanted to sing with you guys. Especially on called to serve i sang with you guys. 

Missionary work this week was still great. We found some new investigators and resolved some concerns with our other investigators. I feel like I'll be coming back down from Cheyenne soon to see Amanda's baptism! She is making a lot of progress. It is so amazing to see!

Well like i said, i don't have a lot of time today because i still have to pack... but i love you so much and i will talk to you next week too.
