Brents super busy week

This week has been soo buy but soo amazing and next week will be even betta. We had two mission conferences and it was really cool being able to participate in the training portions of the conferences. Also, I was able to sit down and have dinner with President and a general authority. Elder Richards is in the second quorum of the 70 and is so spiritual and knowledgeable it is crazy. We were talking after dinner and he would just cite the most random scriptures that applied perfectly to what we were talking about. He is a very intelligent man. I find that he lives in his calling. He is always teaching us about spiritual things and we are always being uplifted by him it is intense.

Also, another cool experience, we are teaching this family of three. Chundo, Bernardita, and their son Nicolas. We haven´t been able to teach them very much because of all of the travel. We went by there house last night and it was amazing. but first there are some things you need to understand. When we found them Chundo couldn´t read, Bernardita was extremely unhappy and Nicolas never went to school. The First thing that we gave them was the Book of Mormon each. We told them that we might not be able to pass by every day but if they wanted to be happy and recieve answers from God how to improve their family it could be found in The Book of Mormon. Well, we visited them last night and Chundo can now read better than I can and the family recognizes how the Book of Mormon has changed their life. Bernardita is happy and has read the entire Book of Mormon and Nicolas is behaving himself. They are coming to church this sunday and will be baptized as soon as Chundo divorce papers have finalized. They are an amazing family.

Other news, we might have an apostle coming to the mission in two weeks and we are making preparations for that. We will have a mission wide conference, o sea, the whole mission will come together at once to hear him speak. I am very excited.

Well, I have got to go but I love you all! Keep working hard and if any of you are having a hard week, read the Book of Mormon and you will find support and council.

Love,

Elder Reed
