Conference

Helloooo family.
 
  Conference was incredible. I learned so much, and so many prayers were answered! I loved Richard G. Scott's talk about receiving revelation, as well as Elder Holland's. And the last 3 seventies in sunday afternoon. and pretty much everybody's. By the way, I'm calling it right now, Ronald A. Rasband and L. Whitney Clayton are the next apostles. Just letting you guys know. I feel like the resounding theme of the whole conference was love and charity. They talked so much about how we should treat others. I loved it. We watched it at the stake center, and I watched it in english. Watching it in chinese is just not the same, the voices aren't as powerful as the brethren, and the jokes they make don't make sense, haha. English is just the best. Good news! You know how I talked about an investigator named Alice a couple weeks ago? How she was awesome but then moved to San Diego? Yeah, she moved back. Pretty awesome story. Elder Fish and I were on bike, and we had some time just to go talk to people, but we weren't sure if should follow our plan we made the night before or go to someplace new. We decided that if our planning was inspired like it should be, then the Lord would lead us to the people we needed to see that day. We locked our bikes up against a fence, and the moment I looked up I saw Alice on the other side of the street, she had just gotten off the bus. We saw each other at the same time and she was super excited to see us. We ran over to her and set up an appointment. When we met with her the next day she told us that when she saw us the day before, she had gotten off the wrong bus stop. Man, just think if she would have kept going or got off one stop earlier? We wouldn't have found her again. The Lord truly maps out every moment in order to fulfil his commandments. She's getting baptized on the 15th :)
   I'm excited for this next week. I feel like a lot of good will get done. I'm looking forward with an "eye of faith" like it says in Alma 32. I love the Aw (pronounced oh) family that I'm living with. Sister Aw always makes us homemade bread and it's the best. Before I leave them I wanna get them some nice gift. We'll see. Anyways I love you, family. I pray for you guys every day. Especially for EJ and Noah lately. They're growing up in a terrible world! But they're lucky they live in the best family ever.
 
Love, Ben.
