Happy Easter!

hey all!!!
what an amazing weekend we have had. conference is like a vacation for missionaries...it recharges our spirits and inspires us to go forth. i cant believe i only have 1 conference left on the mission. we watched all 4 sessions from the VC which was nice it was pretty quite. i absolutly loved elder holland's talk on the atonement...its one i will have to go back and read again and study. as always elder bednar was one of my favorites...he talked about baptism being a step to the temple. you know without the temple covenants baptism doesnt mean a ton. we are just like every other church saying "you need to be baptized" but we know there is more then just baptism we must endure to the end and we must recieve the ordinances only avaliable in the temple. i just love going to the temple it helps me to relax and to feel that peace i need. i hope you go often...those who are endowed. when the temple is close it is easy to make up excuses not to go but we just really be making excuses to go attend the temple. i know when i get home i want to take advantage of the temple i will have so close in rexburg. there is no excuse for not attending the temple when its right down the street. of course i loved L. tom perry's talk about missionary work. it is similar to what he told the ward mission leaders and stake presidents when he came to speak to us. missionaries are "under used teaching tools." i cant wait for the ensign so i can read the priesthood session it is my favorite!!! we really do have a living prophet today on the earth and we are not lost. they talked about the economic hardships that are going on in the world today but we need not worry. the Lord is in charge here. just like one of the speakers said in conference if we are keeping our temple covenants we need not fear the Lord will take care of us. it is evident we are at the bottom of the pride cycle for sure. the Lord is humbling his people and to be quite frank i think it will get worse before it gets better because people who should be humble are not getting the message. its actually been really hard to find people to listen to our message...interesting. but i know the Lord is preparing people for us to teach. i had interviews with pres bassett yesterday. he is a inspired man for sure. i feel like he can look right down thru my soul. he just told me dont get discouraged. im working the hardest i can and i just hope my efforts can help someone. the easter pagent is going on the rest of this week. its a beautiful display. if you get the opportunity one day (after i get home) you need to see it. we've had a great turn out and only expect more this week. there were 2 days in spanish and those two nights the VC was full after the play. spanish people come in but the americans just leave. how rude! the transfer is coming to an end way soon. next week is our last full week...CRAZY!! i may be heading full-field but who knows. it is definatly heating up here in AZ...it will probably hit 90's today. incredible!!! maybe the Lord will have mercy on me and send me north for the summer...i hope so. i havent had any crazy stories that i can think of this week. though the protesters are showing up to the pagent...im sure we'll get some anti in. some of the anti are from a church called "concerned christians" which are ex-members of the church. they dress up like amish girls...weird but i guess i dont look much prettier in my jody dress...ive decided im the most unstylish person on earth but i dont care it keeps more creepy men away. someone just has to have pity on me when i get home and dress me...that's all i ask dont let me be ugly. well i love you all! have a great week and take the counsel we got from the prophets today. conference means nothing if we dont change.
