Today we got transfer calls and Elder Phillips will be leaving and I will be staying in Angola as a trainer again, and I'm really excited about it because one I get to stay here a little longer plus since I have done it before now I have a better idea of what to do.
As for this week a lot has happened. Since President and Sister Corey will be leaving us at the end of the month and President and Sister Collins will be coming we had a mission wide conference with everyone. Having everyone there made it a lot of fun because I got to find all the missionaries that I have served around and with (that are still here that is) and talk about how everything is going. As for the conference itself: it all went very well. One of the cool things is that for one Sister Corey wrote these two songs and then she made a missionary choir and Ball State University was there to record it and they were just awesome. Also President and Sister Corey gave us trainings and their testimonies and it was so powerful a lot of it was advice for our missions and also for our life. It was really funny actually because Sister Corey was telling us that when they were called to come to Indiana President Faust told them that they would not be judged on how many baptisms happened while they were here but instead it would be on how all our (the missionaries) families were in 20 years. After saying this Sister Corey said: "We worry about you all the time, our salvation is on your shoulders" hahaha the way she said it made everyone laugh.
So as for the rest of the week it went fairly well. Unfortunately not very many people opened the door this week, but every time that something amazing is about to happen there will first be a period of trial so that we are ready for that miracle or not.
Well either nothing else has really happened or I just can't remember. O, wait I forgot to tell you about what happened last week. So you know how you had the lesson about supporting missionaries for young women's? Well, when they had that lesson here they gave us a huge box of candy and snacks and stuff.
Well that's all I got, love ya,
