We had some pretty warm weather too but it was very nice most of the time. The last couple of days have been cloudy and coolish.
Oh boy, general conference was absolutely amazing. I loved it. There were a few talks in the priesthood session that I really liked and have already started to help me a ton. I also liked Elaine Dalton's talk about raising a daughter. I feel so blessed to live in a day and time when we have the Lord’s gospel being preached to us by His chosen prophets. The council we receive from them is so good. It is great to learn those things that will bring me the righteous desires of my heart. Often times I learn of something I need to change and also learn of the happiness I will enjoy if I do so. Repentance is such a great process. I love the healing and the power the Atonement holds for those who are willing to repent. Sometimes I get a little frustrated with myself knowing that I could have done better. I feel that there is more I should have done. I get down on myself feeling unfit for this calling. The hope of the Atonement is real. There is a quote my companion has. “Don't let yesterday take up today.” I can change. I will change.
We had a good week and today we are hoping it doesn't rain so we can play football. There are some really good potentials we have coming up this week. I am really excited for them. The singles ward is really picking up. It is hard as a missionary because we want things to happen quick because we only have so long in an area, but everyone else is on a slower schedule. Well, I love you and hope all is well.
Love, Elder Hurst
