Oh my gosh, Conference was absolutely amazing!!! Every single talk was
so inspiring, and answered so many questions that i had going into it!
It's amazing to look back over your notes and realize what things they
said and were inspired to instruct us on. Elder Uchtdorf never ceases to
impress, but the talk that i thought was so amazing was Elder Bednar's
talk on Tithing. The whole talk was absolutely amazing and he is an
absolute Stallion with his word placing and emphasis. Then just to top
it off, at the end of his talk he tells everyone who isn't paying a full
and honest tithe, must repent and change their ways. Ahh, it's so
amazing that he is able to stand as a witness and rebuke the members who
have become lax. The spirit that is felt while watching it is
unforgettable. I couldn't even imagine what it is like being there with
them live and listening to the amazing tabernacle. Then, President
Monson says, "I am going to go back tonight and write in my journal that
this has been the most spiritual session of General Conference he has
been a part of." and you have to remember, he has been in the quorum of
the 12 and presidency for 50 years. That is pretty special.
The missionary work goes on! It has been raining like crazy, and
the river is filling up and up!! The rain here is just so crazy! It just
keeps on going forever!! It started raining at 7 in the morning one of
the days and didn't stop until 3 in the afternoon! (It's kinda crazy
that i'm up that early in the day to know when it had started :) ) But
it's out of control. And it's not just a light rain, oh no, it's a
downpour the whole time. I love it!! We have 3 kids lined up for baptism
this weekend, Julie, Aubrey, and Marcus McIntyre. We baptized their mom
and she wanted the kids to find it for themself, and we think they
have. Julie wants to be baptized so she can go with the branch on a
temple trip, and she wants to go inside rather than just looking at the
outside. She's awesome! Keep this family in your prayers that it will
carry onward and they will be able to enter the waters of baptism and
make these sacred covenants with our Father in Heaven.
I love you guys so much and hope you have a 'blessed' day! (Says all the black ladies in our apartment)
Godspeed!

I agree! Conference was amazing! All about missionary work, I guess thats how I heard it. Great to see 2 awesome missionaries from the Bloxham's tearing it up for the Lord! Its really cool to think that the people both of you are meeting were waiting for your personalities to approach them so the spirit can do the rest! :) Keep up the hard work!
