General Conference Was Amazing!

Okay, this last week was General Conference for us. It was amazing! Though the power was out on Saturday, but they have a generator, it just couldn't run the A/C and the satellite at the same time. I agree that it was an amazing general conference, all the sessions were wonderful. Took plenty of notes.

This last week was painful. The power was out for three to four hours each day and on Tuesday that caused our fridge to stop working, food went bad. So we spent the rest of the week on canned foods. Teaching at night with the power out is really hard, though it doesn't really happen very often. As for happy moments, an investigator that we thought had gone away and wasn't coming back came back!

This week we really need to work on finding new investigators, because besides Kenjay and Helbert we don't have many other progressing investigators. And when they are baptized we will be left with almost no one. So were are taking "talk to everyone" to the extreme this week.
Last night I was kind of disappointed in one of our investigators, even though he knows it is really bad, he dropped the f bomb many times. With a small review that we don't say those kinds of things and telling him that in America we wash our mouths with soap if we say that we tried to teach. It was really hard to get the spirit back in the house.

I love you all so much. The still, small voice of Elder Whitman told me that I should say that. And I agreed. I really do too; I don't say that I love you all very often, or that I miss you. But Elder Whitman knows that I miss you all. We talk about our families all the time.

"It's time for Africa!" I do love hearing about Nat's soccer games and Andrew's water polo games. Especially when they win. Hearing about interactions between you and the other Ferrin families is fun to hear about too. Oh! So there is another Elder Phelps that is going to get here on Oct 29. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

So, after reading some old Dear Elders of Stu's emails talking about Risk, we decided to go and buy Star Wars Risk, and they had it! They don't have normal risk but they have Star Wars Risk! Yeah, gonna be awesome! I'll be sure to let you know who wins! If we ever finish...

That's cool about the phone call you guys got from Sis. Adams. I was wondering when I would get the email about that happening. As for Elder LeCheminant, he goes home on the 27 later this month. Only one of my previous comps are home, Elder Claven.
Well, until next week!
Elder Phelps

"You too!!"
