I AM GLAD TO HEAR FROM AN AWESOME FAM!!!

 

CONFERENCE WAS SUPER GREAT! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE CONFERENCE FROM HERE ON OUT, I KNOW THAT I DIDNT PAY A WHOLE LOT ATTENTION TO IT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.. WELL I WISH I JUST UNDERSTOOD A LITTLE BETTER, BUT ITS ALL COOL NOW. I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH OUT HERE THAT IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO REMEMBER IT ALL AND APPLY IT WHEN I RETURN HOME. I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY REMEMBERING IS THE HARDEST THING EVER. WHAT WAS ONE NEW THING THAT YOUVE LEARNED FROM CONFERENCE? I REALLY LIKED HOW THEY TALKED A LOT ABOUT OBEDIENCE.. THOMAS S MONSON HAD A GREAT TALK ON THAT, ABOUT WHEN HE STARTED A FIRE AND THOUGHT HE COULD CONTROL IT. I JUST REALLY LOVED CONFERENCE THIS PAST WEEKEND. WE WATCHED IT AT FEW DIFFERENT HOMES THIS TIME, INSTEAD OF THE CHURCH. WE HAVE A LOT OF WONDERFUL PEOPLE HERE IN WAUKEE.. THE FUNNY PART ABOUT WAUKEE IS IT REMINDS ME A LOT OF DRAPER.

WEVE HAD A GREAT WEEK, OTHER THAN WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME OUT OF OUR AREA. TUESDAY WE HAD A POWERFUL MEETING WITH ALL OF THE ZONE LEADERS AND PRESIDENT. THE SPIRIT WAS SUPER STRONG AND TESTIFIED OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORK AND WHY WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME PLANNING AND PREPARING. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE ALL CAN HAVE MANY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES IN OUR ON HOMES.. SOMEONE SAID A LITTLE WHILE AGO, THAT THE HOME IS THE 2ND MOST SPIRITUAL PLACE THAT WE CAN HAVE.. OTHER THAN THE TEMPLE OF COURSE. I AM GLAD THAT FAMILY HOME EVENING IS GOING WELL FOR YOU ALL.. I HOPE THAT YOU ARE LEARNING A LOT FROM IT!

WE WERE ALSO HELPING THE ASSISTANCE OUT A LITTLE BIT WITH SOME OF THEIR INVESTIGATORS BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT OF TOWN. WE DROVE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF DES MOINES A FEW TIMES. DOWN TOWN IS NOTHING LIKE SALT LAKE CITY... ITS REALLY WEIRD. THERES NOT A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE ROAMING AROUND THERE.. ANYWAY WE TALKED TO A LOT OF THEIR INVESTIGATORS.. WHO ARE FROM AFRICA. THE AFRICAN PEOPLE ARE VERY HUMBLE AND ACCEPTING OF THE GOSPEL. I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT I WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. DES MOINES IS FULL OF PEOPLE THAT ARE FROM ALL OVER.. ITS SUCH A GREAT TIME MEETING AND GETTING TO KNOW DIFFERENT CULTURES.

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST FAMILY EVER! I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW THAT! I SENT SOME LETTERS OFF TODAY.. OR I WILL BE, LAST WEEK I HAD SOME BUT I FORGOT THAT I DIDNT HAVE ANY STAMPS.. HAHA O WELL. MOTHERS DAY IS COMING UP SO I WILL SEE YOU ALL IN A LITTLE BIT..:)

LOVE ELDER KIRTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
