Transfer, Week 2 Moval

Where to begin? Like...wow. A lot going on. That's good that it was just a cyst and not cancerous. Hopefully it stays gone. It's good that you went to General Conference. I'm glad you enjoyed it. What was your favorite talk? What did you think of the speakers speaking in their own language? It was really cool to watch it here. Saw a lot of familiar faces when the choir from Stansbury, Tooele, and Grantsville sang. We got our investigator to come. She loved Elder Holland, and we were like, "Everyone loves him." Haha. Her name is Serena. She's possibly getting baptized this Sunday, pending an interview with a member of the mission presidency. I'm fairly confident that she'll be able to make it by this Sunday. If not, then that's the Lord's will. No one is barred from baptism. It's not a matter of "if", but a matter of "when". I'm sorry to hear about Mark's passing. Grandma emailed me and told me about it as well. We can take solace in knowledge that we have a loving Heavenly Father that loves us so much that he provided a way for everyone to return to be with him, and that we're able to do that as families. The Plan of Salvation is the ultimate plan that Our Father uses for his purpose (Moses 1:39).
We have our investigator named Jesus that was doing soooooo well. And then his girlfriend was released from jail. She went to jail for stabbing him. He has completely regressed. He's relapses and started using meth again, and he was pending a baptismal date. The mission presidency wanted to see what would happen when she got out of jail. He told us that he was done with her, but they're back together again. I've seen so many examples about how choosing your spouse or who you date is absolutely essential to happiness. And I've seen how people who make poor choices live lives that aren't happy. What's the saddest of all is that Jesus wants that change, but not enough to actually make it happen. He's on the verge of being dropped. This week has been crazy with Conference and everything. And this next is going to be interesting as well. I'm excited to see where Jared goes. Hopefully he'll get his call this Wednesday.

I love you, mom.
