Conferência Geral! Hey Family! I loved general conference this week. I thought it was so cool to see the men from Pleasant Grove sing in the the priesthood session! I saw both Bishop Christiansen, and Trevor Wiley singing. I told my companion, "If I wasn´t right here right now, I´d be in the conference center singing." I liked all the talks. I thought it was interesting how we were counseled not to call our church "The church of the Mormons", and the Book of Mormon is "The Book of the Mormons", but not everyone calls the members of the church Mormons. They just think that the missionaries are the Mormons. There was a kid in our ward that asked his mom, "Are the Mormons going to eat at our house this week?", I thought that was way funny. I told him, "Hey, you´re Mormon too... and yes, we´re going to eat at your house..."...haha. the work has been going well this week. We found a ton of new investigators, but the problem this week was that we found 6 new men, but when we went back to visit their houses a second time, they were all drinking... It's tough. I´m glad to hear that you guys are all doing well. I want to hear more from my brothers and sisters, and I want you guys to send me some pictures when you can. I feel like it´s been over a year since I´ve seen you guys... Write me when you can. I like to reply to the emails that I recieve more than just talk about myself in an email to the whole family. I love you guys! Love, Elder Forsyth
