Week 24 - Stake Conference!!!

So it was Stake Conference this past weekend, and it was AWESOME!!!! Best stake conference I have ever been to, I received so much guidance from Heavenly Father. It was so cool!! Our Stake President is SO amazing!! He is completely missionary minded, he devotes everything he can to the work. He is truly "Hastening the work" as we've been commanded to do. LOVE HIM!!! And our mission president and his wife spoke as well! It was great!!! Loved it so much.
     WE met a cool couple, Amy and George, and they had a great spiritual experience with us teaching the first lesson. Having a member in lessons helps a lot!!! Everyone at home, go teaching with the missionaries and fellowship them non-members!!! It makes a big difference in the converting process for the investigator to have a friend. It was one of my favorite lessons ever, and I have high hopes for them.
    We're teaching a lot of people right now, and it gets kinda crazy sometimes, but being busy is good. Really good. There's a good chance Noah, Melissa's son, is gonna get baptized this weekend, and we hope he'll make it there. Some one that the sisters are teaching wants me to baptize her, which is a great honor, and then Kizzy, Noah's 8 year old cousin, wants Elder Price to baptize her!! So we'll both get to baptize someone in the same day!! :D it's gonna be a really cool experience.
     Elder Price is awesome by the way, I don't say enough about him. He's literally the funniest kid I've ever met, and its been great serving with him for the past 3 months. I'll miss him when we get split up, which is going to be next week because it's transfers May 13th, and we all know we won't stay together. If I leave, I think I'm going to Northern Kentucky, which would be sweet!!!! But its like 50-50 if I leave or if Price leaves. He's a fantastic missionary. Best of luck to him! Love that guy!!!!
   Well, another great week ahead. Thanks for all the prayers and everything else you all do!!! I feel strength beyond my own everyday, and I know that every prayer you guys say makes a big difference, in everyone's lives. I Love you all so much!!! Have a fantastic week!!

P.S. They're letting us Skype now! For Mother's Day!! It's gonna be great!! :D
