Elder Edholm -- week 88

So this week was a normal week. I have a strong feeling that Oliva's gonna want to get baptized soon, but we'll see what happens. One thing that happened was that we had a district conference and President Nuckols went. His talk was great, I learned a lot. What was even better was that he took the time to talk to all of our converts, and they felt really great about it. Sister Nuckols actually started crying because it was her last district conference with the Bani district. After that we had interviews with the President. And although I didn't want to, I had to tell president about the disobedience of the other companionship that's living in our house, the good thing was that they fessed up themselves after president grilled them really hard. 

The highlight of the interview though was that President gave me an assignment, he told me that he wanted me to find the next leader here in Don Gregorio. He shared a story with me about when the saints first got to Kirtland they were commanded to build a temple. They didn't know anything about building a temple. Joseph Young (Brigham Young's brother) had served a mission in Canada and met Artemus Millet, one of the best stonemason's in the world. Joseph Smith sent Brigham Young on a mission to go to Canada, to convert Artimus Millet and his family, and to get him to come to Kirtland with a thousand dollars. And Brigham Young did it. That gave me so much motivation to do it, to find a leader for Don Gregorio because I know they need one.

I love this work so much, I never want to stop doing it, I really have found true happiness doing it.

I love you all so much!
