Dean & Chuan are doing so good. We had the Plan of Salvation lesson with them last Thursday and they had so many questions about it, then we all found answers to their questions in the scriptures. It was awesome. Rohan and Yamuna have been wanting to meet with us more and more. We meet with them at random times because they don’t have set work schedules, but we make it work! James is doing really well, we are planning on meeting with him this weekend when we get back from Edmonton. We are meeting with Joe, he just married a member and so we are teaching him the lessons so he can be baptized! He loves the idea of Celestial Marriage, so he’s excited to do the steps necessary to get there with his wife, Selena.
General Conference was SO GOOD. I have so many favorite talks but I really loved when Gary E. Stevenson said, “Small efforts can cause eternal affects.” I loved that because I thought about how as missionaries we need to take every opportunity to speak to everyone we can. We can only hope it’ll leave an eternal effect on them with the small efforts we make to reach out. Yamuna came to the last session of General Conference and wrote down some things!! She said she loved it and could understand it perfectly. Which was a miracle because of the language barrier. I’m excited to re-read all of the talks again.
