General Conference!

 (Elder Slade)

To the best friends and family a person could hope for!

Another week of miracles! This week God helped us put two people on date for baptism! Lisa is getting baptized on Oct 16. She is an awesome woman who has had a rough life. Neveah is getting baptized the 26th, and she is one of the easiest girls you'll meet. We are excited for both of them! There have been several awesome miracles that have led them to where they are, allowing them to enter the covenant of baptism, and take that next step towards Christ!

General Conference was also this week! It was SO good! I loved all of the speakers! Onf of my favorite was by Marcus B. Nash about sharing the gospel. He listed a few of the blessings of the gospel:

-Sharing the gospel brings joy and hope in both the giver and the reciever!

-Sharing the gospel brings power into our lives!

-Sharing the gospel brings protection from temptation!

-Sharing the gospel brings healing!

I have felt the truthfulness of these blessings as I have served for the past 20 months! Sharing the gospel has brought me so much joy, and above all else, it has brought me closer to my Savior Jesus Christ! I love this work! I love my mission! I wouldn't want to trade it for anything!

Love yall!

Pictures:

1. A picture we sent to Lisa hyping her up for her baptism!

2. I went on an exchange with Elder Johnson, who was my first District Leader in the mission. Pretty exciting!

3-4. Went on a hike early this morning, and it was beautiful!

5. We went to Kneaders for breakfast Saturday morning before general conference and got the unlimited French toast! To die for! Elder Rollins has also been with us for  a few days. His flight to his original mission, Brazil, got cancelled, so he stayed with us for a few days until they flew him out. He is an amazing missionary!
