What a great weekend! The opportunity to watch Prophets, Seers, and Revelators share with us inspiration and revelation they receive is truly a blessing! It feels like it goes by so fast! It will be nice to ponder on the talks that were given to prepare for the next General Conference in April. I loved the emphasis on missionary work! They were pretty bold in talking about member missionary work! Some of the members we watched it with at the church felt a little rebuked for not doing more missionary work! HAHA! It's nice to see that members are catching the vision that President Monson as set forth... In the Priesthood session, the chorister is the Dad of one of my former companions, Elder Dehaan. That was neat to see. ALSO! Elder Neilson, who spoke in General Conference visited this mission a couple months ago. It was a small meeting (President/Sister Wilson, Elder Neumeyer and myself). He was just as animated then as he was in his speech. He actually told us the story of the shoes and the stake president then. It was funny that he told it again...

We're still teaching Will, the Catholic who we went to mass with. We didn't go to mass the past two Sundays, but he came to church last week! He is pretty set in his ways, but has expressed that he would get baptized if he found out the Book of Mormon is true. He is reading it now, so keep him in your prayers!

Taryn, the VCU Soccer player, is amazing! We passed her over to the Sisters though. We felt that she would do better with them. They sure were happy to be able to teach her! She is GOLDEN! She has expressed that she wakes up in the middle of the night thinking about God and Church and just has incredible feelings inside. She told the Sisters that she wants to read the Book of Mormon WAY more than she wants to do her homework. She was at a game somewhere out of the state this weekend, so she didn't watch conference... But the sisters are going to see her tomorrow and set her with a baptismal date! 

 Hope all is well!
