The Highlight of the Week was General Conference

Hello!

Another week has passed by and I don't know where the time has gone. I'm about to enter into the fourth week of my second transfer but it feels like I just got here. It's strange how that happens. This week we did a TON of moving. Two days in a row we had to help move people who had to leave last second due to sudden circumstances. It was good to be able to help them out, but hauling furniture gets old after a while. It was also slightly frustrating because we had to cancel a few important appointments.


There was a baptism this week for a little girl in the ward and we were able to get David to come out to it which was great. It really helped him to feel more comfortable with it and he told us he no longer had any doubts about being baptized. His baptism is set for this Saturday, however he has yet to tell his mom. He just moved here to live with his dad and step-mom and they are o.k. with it, but he hasn't told his mom who lives in Georgia. We have to have her permission to baptize him so hopefully everything will work out.

The highlight of the week was of course General Conference. I'm so glad that we live in a time where we are able to hear and see the Prophet and his Apostles speak no matter where we are in the world. As I listened to the council given I felt a love for the brethren like I never have before. I loved hearing all that they had to say and am sad that it is over. I can't wait until the Ensign comes out and I can read the talks again.

I wish I had more to say, but between conference and all the service we did this week not much else happened. There are a lot of things changing with how we do things in the mission. They're restructuring the way we do a lot of things for the better and I'm excited to see how they bless and benefit our work. I miss and love you all.

Love, Elder Tilley
