Week 91: General Conference

This was a really great week. On Monday we had a day filled with trying new potentials. We had a great lesson with this girl named, Brandie Wright. She told us that she wants to be baptized she just wants to know some peeps in the church first so we are bringing sisters with us to the next lesson. Then she will be at church this next week! We had a good meet up with the wife of one of our potentials. She has some family members who are members of the church. She was very kind and willing to let us come over again. We are going over on Wednesday this week for a lesson.

Thursday this past week was our interviews with the president. While we waited for our turn to be interviewed we played a role play bingo game where you are given a topic and then have to explain it and set a return appointment in 5 minutes. Some of the topics were, explain the Trinity, how do I recognize answers to prayers, what's so special about your church?, etc.

We had exchanges with the district leaders right after. We had a really cool opportunity on Friday to get a tour of a Catholic Abbey. It was so cool to see the insides of another church building and learn to appreciate their religion. We had a friend of ours, who is a monk there, give us a tour. It was cool to see.

General conference was incredible. There were so many powerful talks and so many that had such powerful testimonies of the Savior. The testimonies are my favorite part. I don't know if I have a favorite. I love Conference. This was the last General Conference for me in the mission. It was a great week.
