mission - Oct. 7, 2004

The coolest thing happened last night.  We we're teaching a partmember family, and we were teaching on the Godhead.  Tom(the investigator) didn't believe that Satan and Jesus are brothers.  He said to look in Job 1:6 where it said the angels of God came and Satan was among them.  I looked in the King James Version I have and it said Sons of God.  He looked at me all weird and then he pulled out like 3 more bible's and they each said son of God.  Then he looked at me and said that he never had heard of his NIV bible being so wrong.  It was the coolest thing(as previously stated).  This week has been a lot of meetings.  On Saturday and Sunday was General Conference.  It was very powerful, maybe because I had never watched the Saturday sessions before, but it was still real good.  My favorite talk was President Monson's talk on Sunday Morning.  It was real good with knowing which way you want to go.  I really miss Neal A. Maxwell for his talks, they were real good, but I think the new guy's will grow into it.  It was the first time that I remember new apostles being called, it was fun.  On Monday we had Return and Report.  Basically all the new guys had a big meeting with President and Sister Ashton, they asked how we were doing and then we left, I'm paraphrasing because the meeting took about 2 hours.  Anyway on Tuesday, we had Interviews with the President.  He took us individually and interviewed us.  I think I passed.  Other than that, Julie Tanner dropped us off a Cheesecake, I don't know if you asked her to, but thank her for it anyway, I can't do it myself.  Rachel, thank you for your letter, it was a big help to me when I was feeling a little down earlier in the week.  Those kind of letters really help.  Anyway, thanks for all your support and I hope that things are going well down there, time is starting to move a little faster for me here, this last week seems to have blended together.  I love all of you and I miss ya, Bye.

P.S. If you want more information you'll have to ask because I can never remember anything while I'm sitting here, so it will jog my memory. Thanks.
