4/7/26 Conference and Chaos

Unlike last week this week is a Rollercoaster of events. First, tragedy one of the missionaries in Vallejo had to go home. His companion was moved elsewhere in the mission. Following that the week was a roller-coaster of crazy good things and unfortunate events. 

One example is one of our close friends here in Vallejo lost a cat tragically and we were called in to help bury her, but then just a few days later we met a kitty who was just recently abandoned that was super friendly. We totally would have kept him if it weren't for mission rules so we ended up bringing him to a new home with that close friend and it was perfect for them. That was just a little part in a chain of events the led to us reconnecting with people that we had trouble contacting last month.

Miracles abounded as we closed in on conference as we got to really filter out those who weren't interested. When church can come to you at home and you still miss it then how committed are you to learning more? Is the question that has helped us prioritize who we are working with.

Conference was as the title said Chaos. We had appointments and places to be for each session. From having to duck out early from Saturday morning, to the Ward watch party that was very thinly attended on Saturday. On Sunday we kicked off the morning having breakfast and watching with the missionaries in the Zone and the afternoon we had lunch and watched conference with a delightful grandma figure Sister Götz.

The last note I have for conference is the talk I liked most this first time through. The messaged shared by Elder Gong's message reemphasizing the need to be connected with each other rang true. One of the greatest lessons of this conference was that we must support and minister to each other as much as we can.

Love you all and have a good week.
