Hey!

It's getting more real that I am leaving soon but I just try not to think of it. There are sometimes when I think "oh man I miss listening to this song" or "man I would love to see that movie" and then I remember I will be able to soon. There is no other way than to say that it is just really bitter sweet! 

Conference was great! We watched all the sessions at the church, which was a little odd. But most people either watched it at home or weren't sure what sessions they would be able to watch.
We weren't able to watch Women's Conference with Michelle. We did watch it but with another member. 
Both it and Conference were fantastic. I really loved Elder Robbins talk. I loved the question and the theme of it. It really hit home for me.
This week mostly we did Conference stuff. We were either watching it (or the broadcast) or we were encouraging others to watch it.
We were able to see a large miracle with one of the less-active members that we had previously not been able to get in with. She was not very friendly to us when we did try and see her, and just didn't really care if we stopped by. We felt like we should try to see her at a time we previously hadn't tried before and we were able to see her and her granddaughter, who asks us questions every time we go by. She is a sweetheart. Their family had been dealing with a lot, with the suicide of her grandson that lived with her. We were able to get the Relief Society sisters involved and went to the viewing to show love and support to her and her granddaughter. It was amazing to see how the Lord works. He truly knows our needs and the needs of others way better than we ourselves do!
Sorry this is so short. We are going to Omaha today and need to head out.
