It was an amazing General Conference we just had wasn't it? We have been having cold weather recently. It was cold this morning with some snow on the ground, but it quickly melted.

We have been having trouble getting with Vicky because she is really busy and we have been gone with business in other parts of our area. She is close to baptism, we just need to finish up with the lessons. Our new investigator, Marie, is doing pretty well. She is struggling with attending church. That is understandable because she has never attended a church in her entire lifetime other that a few funerals. She has a firm belief in Jesus Christ and is interested in learning more. We hope to make contact with her tomorrow before we head to Fairview.

High Prairie has a branch with about 20 people attending regularly. People struggle to come. We have to drive for a couple of hours between our different areas to visit with members and non members. Quite a few members live about 30 to 60 minutes out of town. We try to visit once a week. I enjoy driving because the country side is nice.

The Mission Conference was really good. Elder Kikuchi encouraged us to follow the daily schedule we have been given, promising that it would increase the Spirit. We are actually one of the most obedient missions in the world. I personally try to follow the schedule though there are days where I struggle and just want to go back to sleep.

We helped out at the Old Folks home last week. I wanted to play my violin, but we had other assignments. I'll hopefully play for a little while this week.
