Transfers and Conference and It's a Boy!

Hello everybody!

We had a great week this week! A good amount of our time was spent making and handing out invitations for people to watch conference with us. Most of our finding was consequently spent inviting people to listen to a prophet's voice. It was pretty fun.

We had dinner at a member's home with a bunch of other single members. They live on a gorgeous 50+ acre property next to Burke mountain. I will get good photos the next time we go over.

Wednesday night was interesting. The young men and young women had a baking contest to see who's cake would be better. The catch was that we were volunteered to be judges for the cakes and we were asked to create a 30 min activity to do with everyone while they were cooling.
The catch was that the cakes were made with some... Unconventional ingredients. The least of which being: bacon bits, cheddar cheese, jalapeño peppers, and hot sauce. Needless to say both cakes were pretty awful. It turns out that this contest was prophesied in the Old Testament by the prophet Job saying:

27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

In this area we have been teaching a surprising amount of young single adults.
One of them is Tyler, we met him pretty miraculously and we taught him again this week. He is very young but seems to be interested in our message. We hope that he can understand that the Book of Mormon can change his life if he chooses.

That was my greatest initial thought about General conference.
Being happy and living the commandments is a choice. Letting the message of the Book of Mormon change you is a choice. We grow, not by being obedient, but by choosing obedience over other paths.
I hope that you all have a great week!

Love you!
