Amazing Weekend in Utah



a

@Conference-Eleventh Row!!




<
Missionary Reunion


So, it was a great weekend in Utah. I went down my for my missionary reunion. I have been home for 6 months now and it was so good to see everyone at the reunion. My mission president and wife were there and it was good great to see them and hug them. They are amazing people and have such a soft place in my heart. I will always cherish, love, and respect them. It was so nice to see people that I had not seen for over a year. Its amazing the bonds I have with some of my missionary friends. They are my truest and best friends. Although, some of them could not be there like Sis Bourne I did see many that have had a huge impact on my life. It was just a great time. I also had the opportunity to hang out with some of them over the weekend. It was so nice to catch up and just laugh and have fun. Everynight we stayed up till around 4 am just chatting and laughing. I miss my friends a lot! It was also a great weekend because I got to listen to conference and the words of the apostles and prophets. There were some great talks that were very uplifting and inspiring. It was really neat because I got to go to the second Sunday session of general conference and we were lucky to be in like the eleventh row. It was cool because I have missed President Hinckley but as President Monson walked in I felt the confirmation that he was truly the prophet the Lord has called for this time and his counselors were called of God. It was cool to be so close because I would just watch them and they just have the spirit excuding from them. I could feel the love that they have for the members of the church. I felt like I could talk to them about anything. Needless to say it was a great experience and I love conference and I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

OK Abby, this will be all Croshaw comments. We work with a lady at the temple whose son just got home from Minnesota. If I remember correctly who I was talking to, the missionaries name would be Mecham. Did you know anyone by that name? Is there more than one mission in Minnesota. Sounds like you are loving school.
