General Conference!!

10/4/2021

This week went by super fast! Elder Lund and I got some boards and have been riding them in the morning. There is this trail we ride on like right next to the ocean so that has been a blast!! We have been doing lots of finding this week and have gotten some numbers and new friends to teach so that is super exciting! 

We had two exchanges this week!! It's been nice being able to see more places in New York! The second exchange this week I was with another Elder that came into the field the same day that I did. It was really interesting, both of us were new and had some lessons that day but for the most part I think it went good! And during this exchange I had to drive a car! It was a wild experience, but now I can say I have drivin a car in New York!! We both are still in one piece haha

General Conference was so good!! My companion was saying that it's the super bowl for missionaries and that is so true! I have loved watching conference this week. Every message that was shared I needed to hear. I am going to keep going back and listening to those talks, I want to invite all of you to do the same! I wanna share my testimony with you all that I know this church is true, and the Book of Mormon is very true! The Book of Mormon is the word of God. It will bring so much peace and comfort to everyone that reads it. I have loved being on a mission even during the hard times. I have gained so much knowledge already and it's absolutely incredible. I love the gospel so much!! I know God is our loving Heavenly Father, He knows each and every single one of us. He loves all of us! Not one of us is a stranger to God! This brings me so much happiness and peace. I know that Jesus Christ is the light and life of the world! He knows what we are all going through in life but if we have faith and have Christ in the center of our life we will be able to see light and happiness even in our darkest and hard times!! I know for all these things to be true with all my heart! General Conference week was awesome! Everything is going good in New York. Love you all!!
