So this week was fairly uneventful. We just did the regular missionary work and didn't really get any new people who want to be taught about our church but that's okay.
The best part of this week was conference. They made a big change in the church, which most of you are familiar with, that instead of three hours of church on Sunday it is two. But they said that because we've always emphasized teaching more of the Gospel in the home but we weren't super good about that. So it's not shortening the time of church for the sake of more time at home. It's so there's more time at home for Gospel study with the family which I think is super cool.
But other than that nothing really happened. We got news that Elder Holland (for those who don't know he's an apostle in our church or a guy that's high up in the church that gives really good spiritual talks) is going to be coming to the Mission and having a conference with us. I get to shake his hand!!! (Probably) I'm super excited!
Other than that it's just the news that I go home in like 9 days so that's pretty exciting.
Well I sure love you all and hope everything is going well with you!

Oh and also we had Greenie Graduation, which is essentially when all the new missionaries (me) go meet with the mission president and show that we know the first three lessons and can teach them on our own. So that wasn't stressful at all (sarcasm). But it went really good and then I got a certificate saying I'm a "master teacher" which I am not. But it was nice we got a good lunch afterwards too.
Also here's the very few pictures we got this week. The first is Greenie Graduation and the second is from exchanges with Elder Debrine.
