So this week was AWESOME! First of all tramsfer news! Elder Aurich got tramsferred and I'm back with Elder Norton. Round two HERE WE COME! We welcomed eight new missionaries to the NYNYN mission they are all awesome. My trainee Elder Brown got called to train which is super exciting. He received elder Di Deodato from Italy. It just so happens that Elder Massimo De Feo was his stake President! We had a bunch of people come to conference which was great! Thomas, Thomas' mom Liz, and her boy friend Matt, as well as JeanMarc, Wanjiru, Rob, and his two daughters Ashley and Maria! It was a really good turnout. Liz had a rough day the day before and she got in a really big argument with a close friend and she said she was just overflowing with anger when she came to conference with Thomas. Then she listened to the talk by Elder Massimo De Feo and she totally applied it to her life! It was sweet! Ok so General Conference! I could type an entire 5 pages about all the details I loved about it but I will just do top 2. I loved how President Nelson made it to the podium before the camera did 90 percent of the time. It looks like we need to pick up our pace to follow the prophet! Until Seventy Times Seven by Elder Lynn G. Robbins. I loved this part: “Success,” it has been said, “isn’t the absence of failure, but going from failure to failure without any loss of enthusiasm.” We never really fail in life when we are trying to be better! That was such an awesome thing to hear! Then I loved the talk by Elder Durrant too! We talked to a lot of people at the airport and nobody was super interested. We talked to this guy who was picking someone up and he was from India and we told him about the temple. Then later on the lady (who was holding a little dog) he was picking up walked past President and President commented on her cute dog and then later she came up to us and started asking all these great questions like what do you think of blacks in your church and we pulled out 2 Nephi 26:33 and she was like "oh wow that makes so much sense! We just moved to Connecticut and we are looking for a church! I remember when I was little the Mormons used to come over and study with us. And I loved it!" So we sent her up to the sisters in Connecticut and the sisters say she has time of potential! It's pretty awesome how it all played out!
