Week 23

Dear Family.

This week I met an apostle, two members of the seventy, had my first baptism, and got to hear my mission president and his wife speak THREE times. In a row. Does it get better than that? Nope. Oh and I'm twenty now.

Here is what Elder Christofferson said about President Tilleman. (I wrote it down word-for-word.)

"We don't have a better mission president and companion in this church. I don't know what it is that you did to deserve to be here, but congratulations on whatever it was."   So I can confidently say now, this really is the best mission in the world. Really.

So here was our week: Monday--Thursday: cry a bagillion times because Satan knew something awesome was coming and tried to pull out all the stops. Did he win? Nope. Friday: fast all day in preparation for Saturday and then have the first mission conference in YEARS and years because our area is so big. We went to my favorite place to go finding (Cultus Lake) and then went to our mission confrence. Then we got lost in Vancouver trying to find the apartment we were staying at.... Saturday: Sat at the feet of a legitimate apostle of God. Sunday: Special Confrence for our stake with Elder Aidukaitis and President and Sister Tilleman AND the baptism of Pierre. So.

That's what happened. I'm going to send a spiritual letter in a minute but that was the layout of our week. And here is a picture of what heaven is going to look like.
