Happy Conference Weekend!

General Conference is the best, it's basically like Christmas for us missionaries. more on that later though.

Tuesday started off strong, we'd decided to make a new goal that we'd leave everyone we talked to, ami de l'église, nouveau converti, peu importe, with at least scripture and a prayer. Et voilà, one of the first investigators we talked to on Tuesday said she didn't have time for a lesson right then, but we begged her for like 2 minutes to share a little scripture and after a few minutes she finally said yes. And we had an awesome hour long lesson with her! Soeur D shared a scripture she had read that morning, and it was exactly what she needed. Funny how that works, huh? The Church is true!

The other main news for this week is the son of our ward mission leader (DMP, or Papa). He's been kinda sickly and not himself for about a month, and they took him to the doctor several time, but the doctor said it wasn't a big deal, he'd get better soon, and gave them some medicine that didn't work. Finally last Tuesday they took him to the hospital and it turns out he has RAA, a heart problem. He and Maman (DMP's wife) flew to New Zealand last friday for surgery. They'll be gone for about three months so he can recover. We just got the news about an hour ago that the operation went well! But it will still be hard over the next few months as he recovers. And for us too, without Maman around! I'm not even kidding, Maman and Papa are our adopted parents here. So just send some prayers this way for Tauaroa! Conference was awesome, comme d'hab! It was also very early, 6am. But better early than days later for the translation. I especially liked a talk from Elder Hallstrom of the seventy, who talked about God as our loving Heavenly Father. That's actually the first principle of the first lesson we teach. And for a good reason! That knowledge can guide us in our life if we let it.

As usual, the members are going to kick me out soon because I've spent too long writing. Je vous aime! Continue to study General Conference! I know if you listen with a question in mind, you will receive the personal revelation that you've been looking for.

Avec amour,
Soeur Ladd
