Conference was pretty awesome huh? There were alot of really good talks. Alot of holy boldness was used. I know that there were specific things in there for all of us and that if we take the time to study and go over the talks that we will recieve personal revelation. Luckily in montpellier there was a room where it was playing in english. It is so much easier to take things in when it is in your native laguage. Also when it is being translated the jokes just don't work so you hear everyone laughing at the conference center while everyone in the french chappel is trying to figure out whats so funny. Also president Uchedorfs voice sounds much more epic than the naisally french translater.
This past week was pretty good. We began teaching a few new amis. One is a girl who has seen missionaries in the past but due to opposition of friends and family she stopped. Any way she has decided to give it another go so we will do our best to help her strengthen her testimony. We also taught a cool young guy from Vietnam. He is studying here and speaks english and very little french. He seems really cool and even watched some of the saturday conference with us. Because he doesn't have any Christian background or knowlege coming from Asia, we really need to teach simply and slowly. Any way the work is coming along here nicely.
Sunday between conference sessions we decided to go do some contacting. Me and Elder Taylor went on a mini exchange and talked to everyone that we could find. We jogged next to people on bikes, jogged to catch up with people and after a lenghthy door contact with this older guy, ran back to the church for a good five minutes so that we wouldnt miss any of the talks. It was fun. Conference gives you alot of energy for that type of stuff. Elder Taylor is a stud.
Anyway I hope that all is going well for you and that you enjoyed conference week end. I love you,
Elder Swenson
