Hey ya'll! Life is good. I loved General Conference so much! Wow, that was awesome. Darn, I left my notes at the apartment, but some of my favorites were Pres. Eyring, Pres. Uchtdorf, Elder Holland (Priesthood session... dang. I'm sure you've heard about it by now...), Elder Callister, And some of the others that I can't remember the names. Sister Dalton's was way good too! I learned a lot about later on in life stuff ;) I think my favorite session overall was probably Sunday Morning. I just sat there and was overcome with the Spirit, especially when the choir sang "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go" and "I Believe in Christ." That was powerful. By the way you said Uncle Jim was in the priesthood choir right? Man oh man was I looking hard for him, but I didn't see him :( I was even praying that I'd be able to find him! But I must have missed him :( Who knows, maybe the Lord had a reason for it... maybe I would've gotten too homesick or something ha ha. Maybe the Lord has a rule about seeing only one uncle while on your mission... :P

Transfers are tomorrow, and I am staying one more here (at least)! Hopefully more ha ha, but I really love it here with Elder Jensen. We have been having a blast. I am really thankful to be able to spend another transfer with him. We still have a lot to learn from one another. Hey Mom/Mindy/Allie/whoever may get on - would you please check on facebook for J or T or any people who may have added me from here? I told Jake to get on and add me so we can keep in touch after the mission. He's hilarious ha ha. B is too, I wish I would've had him add me before he left for school but it's all good, I'll get a hold of him eventually :)

This week has been fun, we got to go on 2 exchanges. On Tuesday I was with Elder Charbadze from Russia, and on Wednesday I went with Elder White from South Jordan, UT. They are great missionaries.

OH hey, guess what... Elder McClatchy is now in my zone! YEAH! He will be district leader in the Winter Garden area! Oh man, I'm so excited. That is just what that area and district needs! He is such a stud, and I am so excited to go on exchanges with him! Good times are ahead =] Good times are now though too of course :) Life is just good all around.

The work right now has been kind of slow. We were out and about working like CRAZY to get as many people to general conference as we could, but we only had one investigator show up :( It was so sad. The talks were perfect for what some of these people are going through too; they would have been so blessed. I decided though that if we can't get them to general conference, then we will just have to bring general conference to them. Thank goodness for the internet and the conference dvds. I think I may buy them, we'll see.

Anyway, it seems like everyone we have has just been bailing out, not keeping commitments, and won't progress. :/ We are really working hard and praying that things will go up; this week we kind of hit an all-time low. Please pray that we can find the truly elect. The good news is that the Lord has blessed us to find some really positive-looking people lately, so I'm excited for that.

I'm glad to hear that you get to go to Grandpa & Grandma's today to see them and help them out! Send them my love :) By the way, the weather here is soooo nice. This weekend there was a cold front that came in and it has been perfect! I'm loving it. Life is good.

Mindy, glad to hear that you're rockin' school again! Keep it up. I am so sorry you are still sick :( I will pray for you even more than I usually do ;) Aaaaand by the way.... oh man, how embarrassing that you guys watched that movie! Ha ha that's alright. I want to see it when I get back. Or do I? Hmmm I suppose it'll be a good laugh if nothing else ;) I remember Goo nailed it though so it's all good!

Well, hope everyone else is doing good. I love you all so much. Please keep me posted on all the news of the land... :P

love,

Elder Andrew Beckett
