Family!
It sure was a great conference weekend. I loved all the talks and they truly did answer questions that the world has, but might not realize it. I agree with you Mom, if only they played those talks on the evening news or something like that! How great would that be? One thing--we got a pretty food laugh at was the fly that was flying around a speakers face during the Sunday afternoon session, it landed on his nose and we busted up laughing ha, felt bad for him but what are the chances of that! I forgot his name, but it starts with a V and he's in the 70. We watched all the sessions at the Rosequists, as they were in Wyoming this past weekend for a funeral. And we had a couple other missionaries come over so it was great. But we did go to the church for the priesthood session, tradition!  Sunday morning I got up and made a bunch of crepes, and then we cooked them and had a great breakfast! The perks of living with members haha!
So this week has been a little discouraging but it's been alright. We had I think 6 lessons scheduled and 4 of them cancelled. This happens but its always disappointing. I know this week will be better though. One investigator lost his job and had a minor surgery, so things are kind of on hold with him. And we are teaching a girl this evening. This past Wednesday was our Mission leadership council with President Ahlander, which means our Zone training meeting will be tomorrow. We have it pretty well planned out so I'm excited. And Mom I'll remember to buy doughnuts or something for the zone tomorrow. Thanks again for that. We go on exchanges with each district leader in the zone and with the Assistants to the President so we start that this week as well.  So things are cruising along here as usual and I hope things go well for all of you this week too.  The weather is starting to cool down and it's usually in the 60's at night which feels amazing, but I'm starting to feel like a wimp because I think I'm used to the heat now...haha never thought that would happen. Can't believe there's already been snow fall in Wyoming!
Well I love you all and hope you have a great week.

PS I am sending a picture of a cool stairway in the home I am living in. It has Jade in it with LED lights behind it to show through, kinda hard to explain, but really cool. Great craftsmanship.
