hey family, sorry last week's letter was so short. i'm still down to just a few minutes after having to write the mission president and get some other things done on the computer. i still need to figure out how to write more efficiently with this new shorter time limit in this library.
BUT, things are good here in roseville. we have a baptism coming up this saturday. a lady named Betty, she's 80 and she is a champ. i'll fill you in more next week on her after the baptism and when i have more time hopefully.
but conference was awesome. i couldn't have agreed with you more mom :) we watched it at the the ward building and had a potluck inbetween the two saturday sessions. we actually lost the signal towards the end of President Monson's talk on temples, but I'll go back and check it out once we get the conference issue of the ensign next month. but i never appreciated conference more than i did this weekend, i was way more into it and got a lot more out of it than i had before. and it was an awesome experience. but i also realized that i didn't really have to wait to be a missionary to appreciate it this much, i was just more focused and expecting more from it, and that's something anyone can do whether on a mission or off. so i'm looking forward to making a bigger deal out of the general conferences down the road, even the ones i'll watch after the mission on a couch at home in sweats and with a big pile of snacks....that actually sounds like a better experience than the one i had this weekend. but elder holland summed it up when he said there is something in there for everyone, and that is an awesome thing. i know that's the truth, and it wouldn't be the truth if they weren't indeed prophets and apostles. we are blessed to have those guys and to have conference.
i'm out of time. but guess who's calling in a few weeks. me. sorry if you wanted to guess on your own. but mother's day is just around the corner, it seems like we just talked on christmas. i hope everyone's having a good week. choose the right and have a good time.
love, e. lamb
