This week was pretty great, especially because it was Easter and General Conference. Easter is kind of a big deal here and they have a parade where they march through the streets way late at night with big statues that look like Jesus and the apostles and stuff. It's pretty apostate but it was fun to watch and they have a marching band too. It was kind of like the 4th of July but without the fireworks and the freedom.
We were fasting this week to have a lot of investigators at general conference and we had a lot of people marked to come who said they would come. Little did we know they were liars haha. We didn't have as many people as we would have liked but I realized that this fast helped the quality of investigators, not quantity. We only had 2 but one of them is named Keily and she has never been to church but she LOVED conference and she wants us to come talk to her more. She has a cute family and her husband is in France right now. She is the one who asked me why God lets children suffer, but she seems like she wants to know. Hopefully we can dunk her soon!
I loved watching conference and we got to watch it in English, which was good. I really loved Holland's talk as usual and during the story I thought of Jon and me and was crying but I pretended like I had allergies like a man! I also liked the one after Holland's about being taught the dance of the gospel and not being able to hear the music and after a while becoming uncomfortable with the dance. It applied a lot to me because I could not fully hear the music or understand the importance of it until I got out here on my mission but now I can hear it all the time and I am so grateful for it! I love this gospel and I am so grateful for living prophets. Did you guys hear those people in the Saturday session who said, "We oppose the first presidency?" I am surprised that they didn't get struck by lightning haha. Well I hope you guys enjoyed conference as much as I did! Love you guys.
Love,
Elder Ruggles
