Well this week was pretty exciting.
Had 2 exchanges this week. First one I went to a Spanish area so I got to use lots of Spanish there, that was really fun. Then I went to Fredericksburg again. My companion only spoke English so he didn't know any Spanish and we ended up talking to a lot of Spanish people. So I was the only one who could talk to them. So that was pretty hard but was really fun as well.
And then the craziest part of the week was probably Friday. We were doing service for a member. We had to pull out some trees on his little ranch. Well it turns out that those trees were in the part where his bull was... He told us the bull would leave us alone but I guess the bull didn't like us being there. Charged us once and was just going crazy the whole time. So after about 20 minutes we got out of there. I'm surprised that we survived in there for 20 minutes honestly. So I guess the lesson learned is don't go into a fenced off area with a bull inside :)
Saturday and Sunday was General Conference. I really enjoyed that. Sunday morning we had an investigator watch it with us which was really good. That session was just what he needed to hear. Then we went to watch the Sunday afternoon session at the Carlson's. They invited a Less Active/Part Member family to watch it as well. So that went really well also. Ate a lot of delicious food there as well. Can't go wrong with that.
A lot of the Conference talks were focused on the Family. I thought that was pretty awesome. Families are so important and it is sad to see that a lot of families are torn apart. Luckily the Gospel gives us the ability to become stronger together as a family as we live the Gospel as a family. And like many of the talks pointed out, that all starts with the Father and Mother. Parents are role models for their kids. If they aren't making the right choices, the kids will never learn to make the right choices.
I'm just lucky that I had amazing parents who showed me the right way. And now I am going to do my best to show others the right way, so that they can experience the same happiness that I have experienced in my life.
Love y'all
