Hi Family,
Yes, we are doing wonderful! It has been a great week with seeing Elder Anderson and everything. So I'll share just a couple things that they talked about on Tuesday. We were able to shake both their hands before the meeting. First Elder Callister and his wife spoke, and he gave an amzaing talk on missionary work. He talked about commitment and how we need to keep all of our commitments if we are challenging others to keep commitments. It also goes along perfect with what I'm teaching tomorrow for district meeting, and then he talked about changing our nature, not just our behavior. Because changing only our behavior doesn't mean we have completely committed to something. Then also how important it is to always open our mouth and talk to everyone we possibly can, and the blessings that come.
After him Elder Anderson gave a great talk as well on not comparing ourselves to others and how all that matters is who we are in 30-40 years. Then he came down off the stand and gave a great training on the atonement and how important it is for each one of us. One thing about him is that he has a great sense of humor and he was making a lot of jokes. But throughou , the Spirit was very strong during the whole meeting and I know he is an Apostle of the Lord. How great is it that we have a prophet and apostles on the earth today!  He didn't mention anything about more technology for us but he was with President Ahlander this past week in a a training in Arizona, so maybe he talked about it there, we'll see!
We received a referral for a girl a few weeks ago and today we have an appointment to see her, maybe we will have another investigator. Something cool that happened this week as well was that I went on exchanges with the Zone leaders on Saturday, and Elder Tews took me out to Blue Diamond, a town, and we taught someone out there, and then we got to go to Pahrump to do a car inspection there. It was pretty cool finally getting to leave the valley after over a year haha. It's a pretty cool town. And Blue Diamond is awesome, like an oasis outside of Vegas!  Well, I hope you all have a great week and stay safe. I probably will get transferred so I'll let you know soon, and just in case, send all letters to the mission home this week. Thanks a bunch! I love you.
