So hello again!
Yesterday I watched my very last session of
General Conference that I will watch on the mission. I can't believe how fast
this time has flown by! I am so thankful every day that I chose to serve a
mission, and I receive so many blessings and good times because of it.
So, I think we ALL LOVED General Conference!
We watched the Sunday Morning session with our investigator Anne
Marie, and she loved it! She even called in sick to work so she could watch the
last session too :) Each member of the First Presidency especially impressed
her: President Uchtdorf (whom she refers to as Deiter), President Eyring (she
doesn't remember his name) and our prophet, President Thomas S Monson- she
remarked after his talk about how humble he is! I love all of them so much, and
I think she does too :) And, she likes Deiter F. Uchtdorf's hair :)
Anne Marie is still planning on being baptized
on the 25th, so we are getting the ball rolling! We are so excited for her, and
I think she is excited too :)
We were well taken care of for conference, so
no worries! I ate so much food everywhere we went!
We had a lesson with our investigator Dan on
Friday, which went really well. He asked us what makes our church different
from other Christian churches. So, we again taught him about the Restoration of
the Priesthood and Gospel of Jesus Christ to the earth. We also read to him the
baptism interview questions, which will help him see what we plan to teach him
so he will be able to understand the standards and commandments we keep. We
think the questions kind of threw him for a loop... He had stated earlier that
he just wanted to be baptized into a Christian church. We hope we will be able
to keep meeting with him, and that he may be able to understand and to feel the
Spirit of God touch his heart. He didn't come to any of the sessions of
conference, except the Priesthood session- which is great! We will try to set
up a time to meet with him this week to see how he is feeling about it all.
I love you people oh so very much! I am so
thankful for your influences in my life and for your love and support. Thanks
for everything you do!!!!
Love, Sister Hailey Brown
