Conference with President Diaz

So Happy Anniversary Melissa and Dallas. Hope you had a good Anniversary. Tell Grandma Gillies Happy Birthday. I hope you have a good birthday this week too, Mom. That is not good that Utah is out so fast. Oh well.

So last week I called my old companion Elder Viana about my debit card to see if he had used my card. He said no. So I honestly dont know what to think becuase the thing is the bill for $116.00 from Deseret Book has his name. So I guess he just will get all that stuff for free and I will pay the $116.00. If someone stole my card, why would they spend money on Deseret Book stuff!

I had a conference this week with President Diaz. It was really good. I learned a lot from him. We walked to the stake center from our house at 7 in the morning to get there. It was at least 4 miles or a little more. It was fun, but I don't think I will ever do that again. 

It sounds like all the little nieces and nephews are growing up really fast. It will be another surprise for me on Mother's Day when we skype.

This week was good. The girl we have the baptism date for keeps moving it back so she will get baptized the first of April now. Yesterday we went to give a blessing. The guy gave us the directions where he lives, but my comp lost the paper so we had to contact every house along the way and finally we saw a guy standing outside so we could find the house and give his mom a blessing. I thought she was going to have her son give the blessing, but she is like, "I am mad at him!" and asked me to give the blessing. It was a really good experience. I had an interchange this week with a new elder from Mexico. He told me his conversion story. It was really interesting. He basically came to the church from the information on the pass along card. So that was cool because we always pass out those cards saying to go to the page of the church and it was nice to know that they work.  Yesterday we talked to a lady. She was very interesting. She was mad and didn't really want to talk to us because her son with down syndrome had died. We continued to talk to her and saw how she changed and she ended up crying. So we have an appointment with her this weekend, so it is going to be a really interesting lesson. This week was good. There are a lot of good people to teach and members too. I have been very blessed to have
this as my last sector. 

That is cool that you got to go golfing with Grandpa. Sounds like you had a busy week. I am glad evertyhing is going good. Have a great week and a Happy Birthday Mom.

Love,

Elder Gillies
