Well, another week gone by. Where does the time go?
General Conference this weekend was awesome! All the talks were amazing, and
several were very benefitial in our current circumstances. A few that I
really liked were Elder Holland's talk (primarily for his passionate
testimony. Practically yelling at the world. hehe), Elder Zuick's talk
(What are you thinking? Great for improving relationships), and, of
course, President Monson's openning remarks in the Saturday Morning
Session (a nice little shout out to the Gilbert Arizona Temple). I also
liked Elder Oaks' talk in Priesthood session about women not being
given the Priesthood, but being given Priesthood authority. My personal
thought on that was that it should have been in a general session. It
seemed to me like it was intended for sisters, too. I'm sure there was a
purpose for it though. I wish I could convey all my thoughts and
feelings regaurding everything that took place this conference, but I
lack the vocabulary or time to do so here. I hope you were able to see
it all. If not, you should definately go back and check it out.
Earlier this week. We were contacted by someone in the
YSA Ward. She told us that she had talked to her 9 year old nephew about
baptism, and he wants to be baptized. His mother is ok with it. So, we
started up with teaching him on Thursday. It was a good lesson, and he
appeared to understand it all. Our next appointment is set for this
upcoming Thursday. I hope all goes well with his lessons.
With the realignment of boundaries, we also gained a
family where the mother is a member and two of her sons are not baptized
yet. The problem we run into here is that they are both mostly deaf.
Mom, I wish I had paid better attention when you were working with Erin.
It would have been very helpful here. Anyway, we contacted the
missionaries nearby that do know ASL, and we have a lesson set for this
Friday. Wish us blessings.

Ok, I'm sure many of
you have this question on your mind: When are we getting iPads? Well, I
am sorrowed to say that it would appear that we will not be getting
them for a long while, perhaps not even until next year. As I understand
it, in many of the missions that do have them, they were not working
out so well. Missionaries were not using the iPads in the manner that HQ
had hoped for. However, I have not, as of yet, heard anyone who
actually has direct access to such information say anything about it, so
I don't know how acurate that information may be. But, that is what
I have heard.

Question for those
in Illinois: Does anyone know an Elder Clingo? He is a missionary
serving in Spanish, and he is related to one of the families in one of
my wards. Just curious.
------------------------------------
That's it for this week. I hope you all have a wonderful week, and I'll check back next time.
Con amor,
-Elder Jordon Hill-
