Hello Everyone,
We
had transfers yesterday! Elder Shortland and I will both be staying in the city, which is so fantastic! This was such a great
week!! We had general conference this week and I learned so much, There were
very many powerful talks given and this was probably my
favorite one so far that I have been able to watch!
Francis was baptized
on Saturday! It has been so amazing seeing how truly prepared he was from God!
He had already quit smoking three months before, so the Word of Wisdom was not a
problem with him! He has a friend who has a sad life because of her parents
having Law of Chastity problems, so he understood the importance of the Law of
Chastity. He wants to pay his tithing so other people around the world
could receive the resources he has which have changed his life and so they
can learn more about God! He was super excited to be baptized and to watch the
prophet speak right after! When he was baptized he said he felt like God was
holding him in the water. He also said that a year ago he met some people and he didn't want to listen to them, but when he met us he said
he had a feeling that he should listen. He did and now his testimony
in God and in Jesus Christ is so strong! He was truly prepared by God and is
indeed a spiritual giant!

Elder Shortland and I are ready once again to smash
the work this transfer and do our very best to bring as many of God's children
back to Him as we can! I hope you all had a great week and I invite
you all to take the challenge of the speakers from General Conference and read the Living Christ
testimony and Family Proclamation, which we were invited to read and study many
times over this conference. Continue to study the notes you have taken and the
talks from conference again, I promise that they will answer your questions! I
hope you all have a great week and I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!
