Whats up Family. hows everything going. So Conference was awesome. There were so many good talks. and there are gonna be so many missionaries going out into the field. its gonna be great. I really like Elder Ballards talk it was really good and straight to the point. But i think my favorite was Elder Uchtdorfs i think it was Saturday morning session. He talked about Regrets that people had as they said before they passed. He said something that really stuck with me and that im gonna remember for the rest of my life he said. "Dont wait to die to know how to truly live." This life is awesome its such a blessing to be on this earth in this time. We need to be happy with whatever life throws at us. life is to short to be unhappy with yourself and with those around you. if your not happy fix that right now. we all have so much to be happy about. Im happy cause i get to be a missionary, and im in hawaii...  haha yeah im in hawaii in case anyone has forgotten. But for reals though the mission and the gosple is awesome its all about happiness and making a better life for ourselves and those around us. The gosple has changed my life for sure. So be happy people. no need be sad! Earlier this week we had transfers and i got some new callings. #1 is that im training a new missionary. His name is Elder Dorny and he's from colorado. we couldn't be more different. but there's a reason that we are together. i just need to figure out what it is. its gonna be a good learning experience for the both of use. #2 is i got called to be the district leader. im a little nervous about this one but hopefully i'll be ok. it'll be good for me. So we did something crazy this week. Elder Dorny sat out on this one so me and Elder Maughan went. So we have this way cool investigator named Rod and he is raising a couple of sheep . one of the sheeps names was ono cabob. Ono means good haha. so it was time for ono cabob to go. and we got to help him kill it and get the meet...... it was crazy. i've never done anything like that but it was a good learning experience. I'll leave out all the details but it was a good learning experience. it was good to see where my food comes from i guess. Next time were doing a pig. Im learning to live off the land out here and its super cool. Well i gots to go. i hope everyone had a good conference weekend i love all of you.
