Week 60

Ryan had some great questions and  we did a really good job answering his questions. We pulled him off bap date because he doesn't feel ready. so he will probably get baptized later in October. he is praying for a another date to set and praying that got answers his prayers about his concerns! Ryan is still having an awesome conversion. I told him sometimes little bumps get in the road and we have to fast and pray and act in faith and God will tell us what we need to do. He agrees so we will be watching conference with him! hopefully some of his questions will be answered! Keep praying for Ryan! I can't wait for conference though! I listened to President Uchdorfs talk in the women's broadcast and it was spot on! I love how the brethren keep things simple. I heard in a recent meeting President Monson tells the brethren to simplify everything they do in the church! The gospel is plain, Nephi's soul delights in plainness and guess what so does mine! I love what President Uchdorf said about the three sad mad and glad girls and breaking down what attitude we have going into our everyday afflictions. I love how he talked about loving your enemies! If this was the case then our two party system wouldn't be so polar opposite lol! The world needs more love! not even love but considerably! There is no considerably in the world today! Everyone just looks at it like....whats in it for me! If we had more selfless people I'm telling you the world would be a way better place. Too bad it takes a couple earthquakes and hurricanes for people to wake up and realize that there are people with way worse problems then the problems he or she might face! One of the things that goes through my mind is Jehovah talking to Moses saying how long will it be Moses till the children believe me! The world has forgotten God and its pretty evident! The world would honestly be less chaotic if this was the case. I wish people would have the attitude at looking at the mote in their own eye before they go pointing out the mote in their brother or sisters eyes! It's a crazy world we live in and we need God more than ever. I know my children are going to have it difficult! There is so much evil in the world today and people need to band together. okay my sermons over hahaha!

> Those are just some thoughts for ya I'm sure you can here a little frustration in my voice but I think its more excitement!  Things here have been slow. Summers out everyone's gone and people are back to their normal routines! So its hard to catch people and even harder to find and teach young adults. I'm reminded of my childhood and the game of where's waldo that I would play at grandma's house.  I feel like sometimes I'm playing a game of where's waldo? Where are those that are being prepared? Do I not have the spirit in my finding? but I have been patient and trying to be more and more diligent. there is a saying..... diligence doesn't kick in until you do something after you say you are tired and can't go any farther.
> So I have been exhausted and dead physically but I still keep pushing forward. Its a really good life lesson for me and I'm growing a ton for it.

> I figured out today that this is a 5 week transfer and so it ends on the 20th! crazy huh!  so this will be a really short transfer with Elder Otterstrom so hopefully I can make the most of it. I just created a new accounting system for the whole mission so that will be kicking off soon. President liked my idea and ran with it! He likes my ideas hehe!

> Well I don't have that many pictures but I will send you what I have! I love you all and hope to hear how conference went for each of you!
