I am technically not a greenie anymore, but basically I'm still am because I am staying with my trainer another transfer. I will probably stay in Jacksonville till Christmas, but you never know what will happen at the next transfer, which is near Thanksgiving. Everyone that is being transferred goes to the transfer meeting. I am glad I am not training anyone yet, not only do I lack patience, but I still don't know what I am doing.
We had a goal for two baptisms this month, but they probably are not going to happen. One got offended the week he was suppose to be interviewed. And the other person has not really kept any commitments. Most members just stay at home to watch conference. There were only about a dozen people that would show up at the church including us. We did get some investigators out to the church to watch it though.
I have not received your package yet, most likely because
they freeze mail during transfer or else it would create a big mess because no one knows where anyone is going yet. But, I did receive the package from Grandma. I am sorry, but I can't seem to get pictures to download onto the computer, so no pictures for the moment.
That is great to hear you ran into Shaeley Lewis. I'm glad Grandma and Grandpa found a place to live, is it by where Jason lives? Kiley really does have bad luck with cars! Members buying lunch for missionaries is universal, it's just that, only in
Utah are there enough members for that to happen very often.
We attended all the sessions of General Conference at the church it was very spiritual. I learned more from this General Conference than I have at any other one. I took twelve pages of notes at this one!
As a missionary, I loved the Saturday afternoon session. Because, it was mostly about Missionary work. I liked Brother McConkie's talk he even said himself
that many of the things he talked about he got from Preach My Gospel. There is
one whole chapter in it dedicated on how to teach lessons. And, another one on
lessons investigators must be taught before they can be baptized. I also loved
Elder Dube, Elder S. Gifford Nielsen, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf and Elder M.
Russel Ballard's talk. Elder Ballard's promise is powerful. I hope people pay attention to Elder Neilson's talk and his promise, that if everyone in the church talked to one person by Christmas that millions of people's lives will be blessed.
I love it out here, it really is the best two years and I
will email you again next week.
Love, Elder Lakey
