Great Stake Conference

This week has definitely been eventful but the busiest days this week
were Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Wednesday: I went on exchanges with Elder Prosbt, a Spanish speaking
missionary and he came to my area.  It was fun leading and being with
him.  We went and saw some former investigators and then helped a
family in the ward move from 6-9pm and boy did that family have a lot
of stuff ha-ha.
Thursday:  I went on exchanges with Elder Knudsen a Hmong missionary
from NEW YORK! He came to my area and most of the day we taught
members and less actives.  We helped another sister in our ward move
from an upstairs apartment to a down stair room so that was pretty
easy.
Sunday: We had stake conference and it was really great. One of the
messages was about service and that we should ask ourselves each day
"who did we give service too".  Right after stake conference me and
Elder fisi'ihoi went to the Bishop’s office because 5 men in our ward
were receiving the melchezidek priesthood and they wanted us to be a
part of it. We were probably there for at least an hour till we
finished but it was worth everyone second. Bishop Pauline asked each
of the men to bear their testimony and it was an amazing thing to see
how far some of these men have come from and how grateful they are to have
the gospel in their life. It strengthened my testimony knowing that
because we have the priesthood we are able to truly bless our families
life and those around us. Right as we were going to leave Bishop
Pauline pulled us aside and told us that we had a big part in helping
those men come unto the gospel and he thanked us for helping them
prepare themselves to receive the Melchezidek priesthood.
Now to talk about Mother’s day :)
