Well, conference was amazing. How great it was to hear from the prophet and apostles. I think the best part about conference weekend was the fact that we had a baptism between sessions. It's been the first baptism I've had in a quite a while. Her name is Andrea. Her family is great, and her mom was baptized just a couple of weeks back. It really is a great feeling to be able to participate in this great work. I've attached a picture of that baptism, and then a random photo of me in the apartment. That's my hat, and my companion's sunglasses. It's pretty exciting.
We're working with some great people that are really progressing. They're a part member family, and are working towards a baptism for the 25th of this month.
I'm doing fairly well over all. I continue to learn alot and to grow. I really wish that I had more to talk about, I just can't think of much to say. So, I'll tell you a story of something that happened yesterday.
We taught a man that was going to be the head drug boss here in Laredo. He and his wife had investigated some time back. During that time he had got put in prison of a $75,000 cash only bond. It was pretty intense. He wants to change his life though. It's a pretty interesting situation.
In other news, we had zone conference this last week as well. It was great to hear from President Miller again as well. Myself, and three other elders sang in a quartet "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy." How grateful I am for the gift of music. It really does have an amazing power that goes with it.
Well, I hope you all enjoy the pictures. For those of you that have neglected writing me on my mission thus far....Now's your chance to repent. I only have 5 months left.
Ok, Well, I love you all!
Love,
Elder John
