My goodness goodness goodness it has been a bizarre week. How was it for
everyone else? Conference was great huh!? I couldn't believe the new change in
the missionary ages!! That's so nuts, but so awesome. I know that the number of
missionaries will really start to grow because of this new change, immensely! I
don't know if any of you were able to watch the question and answer conference
with Elder Holland and Elder Nelson in between the sessions on Saturday, but
Elder Holland said that they see a major growth in the number of missionaries,
but they can't even predict how much. It will be a glorious day when the number
of full time missionaries out in the field at one time exceeds a 100,000. I do
not think that day is far off with this new inspired change. Along with Devin, I
couldn't help but think immediately of Michael! Whats he going to do? This new
option will really make a lot of families stop and think, especially with the
women. Elder Swapp and I couldn't quit talking abou this all day on Saturday.
Its mind blowing!
Anyways, I loved conference. I couldn't help but think about how blessed
and fortunate I, along with the rest of us are, to be able to hear a prophet of
God speak to us, councel us, and make known Gods will for us. Thomas S. Monson
is a Prophet of God. There is no doubt in my mind, and I am so happy to be able
to say that I know it.
It is starting to get cold here! The days are still pretty good, in the
70s. But it has been getting down into the 30s at night. Bring on the cold!! We
split a ton more wood this week with a few of the members. This time we had a
splitter. My back really appreciated that haha. It is so fun for me to help all
the people here get prepared for winter. There is so much wood to split and so
many people we could help, we could do it full time. But there is more important
work to be done.
This week we came in contact with a number of part member families that are
just golden!! I knew that this area was ripe with work and people ready to
accept the Gospel. Finding these people is such an exciting thing.
Well you all have a great next 7 days. Be good, be safe, and know that I
love you!
Love,
Elder Bradley Dillard
