ONE YEAR!! OCTOBER 6, 2014

Hey Everyone!

     Ok. I am trying to remember my week. It seems like the longer I am out the harder it is to remember anything including what happened last week. I guess that is why journals are so important! The old man whose house we helped clean passed his house inspection so he gets to stay living in his house. We had zone conference on Friday! That was really good! Wednesday we had a really busy day! We taught Tina and talked with her daughter. Her daughter just turned eight so they are deciding if she wants to get baptized the same day as her mom. Tina's baptism is scheduled for Saturday so hopefully they make the decision soon! We also had dinner with a family and a referral! It was so awesome. The referral's name is Mary. She has been lots of religions and has been researching things for a long time. She said she has kind of had contact with the LDS church and has observed people over the years. I guess one day she went up to Sister Ruddle (she is a member) and asked her if she was LDS and if she could go to church with her! We taught her and she wants to be baptized this week! We have a lot to teach her but she is really great! She came to conference and she loved it! The weather has also been great this week. It was super humid the until Saturday and we went out Saturday and it was nice and cool and I didn't feel like I needed gills to breathe! It was amazing! I think I have officially survived my summer in Georgia! I hope to never have to go through that again. Once is more than enough. I'm not cut out for this kind of climate. Zone conference on Friday was great! I got to see Sister McNeely and that was fun! She looks really good. President was seeing how well we knew the scriptures so he was calling people up to role-play and I got called! I wasn't sitting by Sister Wheelwright because there wasn't enough room so I was sitting right behind her. He called my name and then he paused for a minute and said Sister Trout was going to come up with me! He must have noticed that we had kind of shocked looks on our faces because he said "wait you aren't companions?" and we were like nope! He said maybe it was inspiration. It went really well though! He had questions about resurrection so we read Alma 40 when Alma is talking to Corianton and talked about that. Elder Poti (one of the assistants) said that it was one of the best role plays he had seen in the zone conferences so I guess that was good! I was super nervous and was really glad when it was over! We also got to do something else really cool but President asked us not to talk about it for a few weeks so that will be in a future email. :) Conference was awesome! I loved all of the talks! I loved Elder Robbins and how he talked about not letting the fear of man and the world sway you and cause you to lower your standards. When he said that lowering standards was a form of apostasy I was like oh wow! He isn't sugar coating anything! It was awesome though. I also really loved Elder Christofferson! I loved all of the talks about agency and how we choose who we become. There were a lot of people who talked about that. Helaman 5:12 was brought up a lot! I super loved Elder Klebingot's talk! I can't pronounce his name to save my life but I loved his talk! I love how practically he said we could apply the atonement in our lives. I loved how he talked about taking responsibility for our actions. I also liked what he said about repentance and how we need to be really good at it! I also liked what he said about forgiveness, how we need to be really, really good at that and don't ever think we are exempt from forgiving others! Basically I just loved everything about his talk and I just want to listen to it over and over! I loved President Eyring's talk about personal revelation! I love all of the examples from the scriptures that were given. I also loved all of the talks about the prophet and the leaders and how they are called and chosen and how it's impossible for them to lead us astray! My favorite at the end was Elder Bednar's! I just want to show that to everyone we talk to! Tell them that is why we do what we do and sometimes it is super awkward but it's just because we love you and we love Jesus even more! Seriously, everyone need to see that talk. I hope everyone loved conference as much as I did! I challenge everyone to take a principle you liked from conference and work hard to apply it more in your life. I know that you will be blessed and have the Holy Ghost with you more consistently as you do so! I love all of you and hope you have a super week!

Love,

Sister Price
