Conference report and other good stuff

Conference was amazing and I was able to watch one session in my sweats in sister sperry's house who we live with. Conference weekend was really special!  It was great to hear from the Prophet and his Apostles.  When I first started watching it the first thought that came into my head was how much I took it for granted in the past.  To me it was a day I got to stay home and lay down on the couch while we watched it.  I would be on my phone or Ipod and to be honest my thoughts were not on the conference.  This conference however I was totally focused and it made such a difference.  I was able to personally apply at least one thing that every person talked about to my life.  Some I had to really listen for but as I opened my ears and heart I was able to receive personal revelation.  I watched the Saturday afternoon session at the stake center and me and my companion were the only ones there.  The other sessions we were at less active members houses which was a good experience.  We called one of our investigators to see if she would be able to make the 3 o'clock session to find out she just got back from the 11 o'clock one.  She forgot it started at 11 and went at 12:30.  She got there just in time to hear two hymns and the prophet speak. We even found out that she walked all the way there in the rain.  I was so happy to hear she enjoyed it and was glad that she went even though we didn't have the chance to see her there.  One thing that really stood out to me is how much they emphasized faith.  Faith overpowers your fears.  We have one week left in the transfer and should be figure out the details on whether we stay or go.  Things are going really good here and Im doing my best and working hard.
