Yello! I hope everyone enjoyed the amazing and historic General Conference this last weekend! I know I did! Wow what a start for President Nelson as the prophet! There were so many great talks and new things for the church. Elder Gong and Elder Soares gave great first talks as apostles too. My favorite tall was probably Dallin H. Oaks's talk in priesthood session on magnifying our priesthood duties and also callings. Doing that truly can make the difference in many of the lives we serve including our own. The big things that happened were the combining of the high priest quorum and the elders quorum into the elder quorum and also changing home teaching and visiting teaching into ministering. These changes are a great step forward in increasing unity and love between the members of the church. I especially love the new ministering change because instead of home and visiting teaching being a task that we just check off monthly it's now a continual effort to reach out to our fellow brothers and sisters with charity and love and help them in whatever way we can. It was also really cool to see President Lynn G. Robbing speak because he had just came to our mission a few weeks ago.

Besides conference this week was super good! We had a few exchanges because Elder Andrus is the district leader so he goes on a lot of those with the other Elders in our district. Just in case you don't know what an exchange is it's when I go with another missionary for a day and my companion goes with that other missionary's companion. There are a ton of elders in our district too plus we go on an exchange with the zone leader. It's fun though to get to know everyone in the district better. 

Our most progressing investigators are Linda and Douglass. They are super awesome but both have their weaknesses. Linda loves everything we say and loves the Book of Mormon and says she will go to church but never does and she always forgets about appointments so we always need to remind her the day of. So please pray for her that she will be better at keeping commitments and setting her priorities. Douglas is great and is the same way as Linda. He's a little more promising because he says he actually wants to be baptized and he was super excited about there being a prophet of God on the Earth today. He did not show up to the church for General Conference though. We tried to text him the days of General Conference but his phone doesn't work half the time so it was hard to get in contact with him. So please pray for him that he will keep commitments and set his priorities straight. 

Thank you all so much for all that you do and I love you all so much!

Love,
Elder Plumb
