     Hey so I finally got to watch General Conference and dang it was super good. I'm sure part of it is the fact I actually take notes now and watch it in church clothes so I'm not as comfortable but General Conference is super awesome. I was looking forward to it the whole week honestly. I had to say goodbye to elder Ogzewalla this week and that was really sad. I have gotten so dang close with him I didn't really want to see him leave. I also am starting to understand Dad's hate of packing. Just helping Ogzewalla pack made me want to die. There is no way I will survive when I have to pack up. My new comp is elder Chadburn from Ogden. He is a pretty interesting guy. The nice thing is he cooks. even if it is just the exact same meal every day for lunch and dinner at least I don't have to cook it. The area is still the same though. My walking to teaching lessons ratio was a little bit better this week but not nearly as good as I would like it to be. But it's all good. We did have one cool experience this week. We taught a lady and the lesson went okay. We asked her to pray and during the prayer she just started to cry. When she ended the prayer we asked what was wrong. She said she just has all these problems in her life right now and it's just pretty hard for her. One of the things that has been tough for her is that her sister is really sick and keeps saying she is gonna die. Well we got the chance to talk to her and it's true she is really sick. But within like 4 seconds of talking to her I felt very strongly that we needed to give her a blessing. To be honest I was kinda scary because we had never been in the house before today and all we knew about this lady is that she was a missionary for a baptist church. But as she kept talking her faith in Christ became very clear to me. Elder Chadburn told her that we needed to leave and we went into the other room to get our stuff. as soon as we were in the other room I said that we needed to give her a blessing. We went back in and gave her a blessing and it was a pretty spiritual experience. I would love to tell you she is totally better now but we haven't been able to go back so I have no idea. But later that night we watched the priesthood session and as you know there President Nelson calls the men of the priesthood to step it up basically. It made  me so glad that I didn't wimp out in giving the lady a blessing. 

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!!
