This week has been great, but not super eventful besides a few things haha. On Monday we got a ton of missionaries together and played soccer. There were a few members and investigators there too. One of them was an investigator with a baptismal date who plays professional soccer. When we started we were on a really nice astro turf field, but then someone had booked it so we had to leave. We found another field, but it was pretty muddy. I was the first to slip and fall, but luckily I didn't get too muddy. That was a lot of fun though.
This weekend was General Conference! I liked a lot of the talks! We watched Saturday Morning session at 6:00pm, then on Sunday we watched Priesthood Session, then Saturday Afternoon session, then at 6:00 we watched Sunday Morning session live. Between the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning sessions we had dinner with all of the other missionaries and a few members. We had Swedish pancakes (which are basically crepes), and nacho chips with seven-layer dip.
One of my favorite talks was by Donald L. Hallstrom, who talked about how we are each a child of God. This is such a basic truth, but so powerful. I liked his quote of Elder Holland when he said, "You can have what you want, or you can have something better." Our Heavenly Father knows what will help us to grow and be happy, so He allows us to have trials and opposition. These can be really hard things sometimes, but they help us to become stronger and develop Christ-like attributes.
Also there was some funny stuff in Elder Uchtdorf's talk in the Priesthood session, so I would recommend looking it up :)
