EXCERPTS from the LETTER to MOM

 I thought I would share some of the excerpts from the letter to mom...

I loved General Conference this last weekend. It was awesome, and the lessons taught were great. After the Priesthood Session, the Ward Mission Leader took us out to Red Robins for dinner. The other Elders and I had the stupid idea to have a drinking contest with the bottomless Freckled Lemonades they have there. We ended up going home having all eaten all of our burgers, all of our fries, and four Freckled Lemonades each. Suffice to say, no one slept well that night.

Other than stuffing our faces to near explosion, the Conference was totally amazing. There was a lot of subjects given that I think we all sometimes lag in. Like serving people often throughout our lives, or actively sustaining the Prophets and General Authorities of our Church. So, for six months until the April Conference, we have some things to work on. I'll definitely be improving how I teach and study, after hearing what the Apostles and Prophets had to tell us!

Oh, almost forgot two of the other big high-lights! Sister Banagas brought chocolate shakes and onion rings over on Friday! The tradition stands strong against the tests of time and space!!

 
Also, in the Priesthood session, I could see Duncan singing in the Elder's Choir from the Provo MTC. If you have access to the songs, look during the congregational hymn they sing about an hour into the priesthood session, and you can see him behind the conductor, on the conductor's left-hand side (the right side of the TV screen). How awesome is that?!
