Baptism

O.K. so conference was good. I don't know if President Monson will be there the next time, but my favorite talk was Elder Nelson in the priesthood session. I got to watch conference in English. That was really nice. It was good. It seemed like they talked a lot about the family. The other missionaries were giving me and two other missionaries crap about that,like this one is for you and all that, but it was good. I really enjoyed the weekend of conference. 

This week was really weird. My companion got sick. One day was spent taking him to get shots. Then the baptism was the Friday with General Conference on Saturday and Sunday.  The week went by really fast. Today we went and played soccer in the stake. It was really fun. It was eight of the missionaries, so we were there for a few hours. I hope Mark gets the job in Baggs. Tell Dallas Happy Birthday this week. That is funny about Molly. So spring break is over I am assuming. When are the kids going to get out of school?  

The baptism was good. The mom basically got up in her talk and told her son-in-law that he needs to get baptized too in order to complete his family. It was really funny. I was looking at him and looking at her to see what he would do, but it was a really good experience. We went to visit one of the people that needs to get married. I don't know what they are going to do with their lives. She knows more about the church than he does, and she isn't the member. 

What cuts are you going to have to make this year at the school?  Who do you think is going to win? I hope Villanova. I  don't want to get crap from Travis with Golden State!  Ha ha!  Is anyone going to be able to stop them this year or are they just going to roll over people? Is there still snow up there or is it warming up a little bit? Here, it rains one day, then the next day is sunny, then rain again. It's really weird. We don't really know if we need to leave with a jacket or not. That is sad about Randy Hillstead's son. I was in meetings all week so not much happened. I really enjoyed the conference. Hope you have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gillies
