What a great week it has been! I hope you were able to watch general conference because it was THE BEST. I went into the conference with about 15 questions and every single one of them was answered. We truly receive revelation through the prophet and apostles of the Lord.

We brought Kevin to the church to watch conference with us on Sunday and he was just eating it up (as well as the brownies we made.) He was full of great questions and was amazed to see a picture we showed him of our prophet and apostles. He also loved hearing more about the Book of Mormon and remembered the talk by Elder Callister with details, explaining the point that the book was written by revelation, not brilliance! I love this kid! He is progressing and is planning to be baptized October 14th!
Flia Esmay (Jose the cab driver) have been having a hard week and they weren't able to make it to the FHE in the mission home which was a huge disappointment. Fortunately we still had a spiritual thought with two members from Funes and the Allreds, and we ate cake :) I also shot some hoops with Pte. Allred and beat him in PIG;) mission accomplishments! But keep the Esmay family in your prayers!
As I was reading the Book of Mormon this week in between conference sessions I read Mormon's words and reflected on the many sacrifices that he made, as well as his son, to stand up for righteousness and continue believing and exercising their faith even amidst a generation of wickedness. I know that when we follow the words of prophets and accept their counsel in our lives, apply it, we are happy and have peace in Jesus Christ. Choose to be humble, to be happy, and to choose the Lord's way when the world's way is placed before you!
LOVE YOU ALL!!
