"Time is running out."

Holy frijole It's a good thing conference was good. We had a
really slow week.
If you would have told me 2 years ago that I would be wanted
to talk to more people in a week I would call you crazy. This week, Basin City
was dead. It was spring break so all the English people were gone and it's warm
here now so all the farmers are playing catch-up from the bad weather we had
earlier. This means that all the Spanish people are working longer hours in the
fields. Suuuper frustrating.
As a cherry-on-top we had a Branch Activity that we planned
that literally n o o n e c a m e t o. Ok
rant is over haha. Without the downs, the up's wouldn't seem nearly as good I
guess :)
General Conference was super awesome. I hope everyone's
minds are sufficiently blown from the Prophet telling us that "Time is
running out." All the talks were super good, my companion has a pretty
good idea of taking all the invitations from General Conference and making a
list of them so we remember what our leaders have counseled us to do.
Of course there were all sorts of rumors as usual haha.
There been a little thing going on called "Mish Twit' Or "Mission
Twitter" were a bunch of missionaries are just posting comments on this
app like it's twitter and everyone was predicting a time change for
missionaries. I think no changes or adjustments came during conference because
they are trying to set an example for Bishops and other leaders around the
world.
Elder Holland's talk was super awesome (as usual). I think
it would be appropriate to assume that anything that could be announced during
general conference that would distract from the spirit we feel, should be
announced outside of conference, just like we should do in our wards.
Well we just got our transfer call and looks like I'm headed
to...... *drum roll*
Hermiston, Oregon! I'll be serving with Elder Cogswell who
is actually my 'brother' in missionary relationships. (We were trained by the
same person)
I'm pretty pumped! Hermiston is SUPER big compared to Basin
City. It will be completely different, but change is good.
I realized the other day that I forgot to send a pic a
couple weeks ago so I'll include it now.
Love ya'll!
