It has finally stopped raining here. yay! lol. It was a really wet summer. Lots of flooding in Iowa. Luckily not where I was at at the time. It started cooling off here, but then it heated back up. So it's been mid 70's to low 80's this week. It'll get cold soon enough though, then I'll be sick of the cold and won't be able to wait for summer! lol.
Yeah, conference was pretty sweet. A lot more people are watching it at home. It was broadcasted at our ward building as well as the stake center. We went to our ward building and during the first session on saturday it was only us and one other lady. Then for the second session it was only us haha. It was interesting having the whole chapel to yourself during conference.
I got a pretty sweet story. We went over to this one families house the other day because we're teaching the girl that lives across the street from them, and their son was there who isn't a member. I've met him a few times before. He's a really funny and sarcastic guy. So we asked him what his opinion of religion was. She started it off by saying "you don't even want to know what my opinion is" lol. So we started talking to him about all sorts of stuff. It was really like a bashing session, but it kind of was at the same time. More like a heated discussion with difference of opinion. So after going at it for like 45 minutes, the atmosphere in the room just completely changed, and it was a lot more peaceful. The conversation lasted about an hour and a half, and it ended with him committing to read the Book of Mormon. He said that he had started reading from it before, but got bored of it so didn't get very far, so he was excited that we gave him some suggested reading because no one had ever done that before. As we were leaving he told us that after seeing us put up with what he just put us through that there was something that interested him. So it was a pretty sweet experience.
No way?! That's pretty sweet. We got a new bishop in our ward yesterday too! I'm pretty excited that Martin is now Bishop. I don't know about that Zach guy though... haha. Just kidding.
No, I didn't know she (Mallory) was expecting. That's pretty sweet though. do they know if it's a boy or a girl yet? that would be sweet if they had twins again lol.
Yeah. I got it (absentee ballot), signed it and sent it back. There is this guy in our ward that's really funny. He's way political. Pretty much radical conservative. He said that President Monson gets his direction from President Obama haha. He was just joking of course. It was pretty funny though.
There is nothing I can think of right now that I need. I have a coat. There was one someone left behind in on of my other apartments. But I'll let you know what I need if I think of anything.
Finally here is my current address... 1405 Eagle Ave #4 Washington, IL 61571. I'll find out next Saturday if I'm moving again or not. Hopefully not. I'm getting tired of learning new places haha.
Thanks :) I was pretty darn proud of myself during that talk too :D (President Monson's talk at the beginning of Conference about missionary work)
Love you and miss you.
Hope you have a fantastic week!
Love,
Coop
