Wasn't that a great conference? Amazing how the leaders of the church are always looking forward 10-20 years, if not further. There will be needs that will be fulfilled by this new announcement regarding the age of missionaries. We just can't see it yet. What do you and your fellow missionaries think about it? I think one of my favorite talks was ....well all of them, but Elder Holland couldn't be more powerful and Elder Bednar's was so great about the lamp of testimony and the oil of conversion. This little clarification makes all the difference in the story of the 10 virgins. We are so lucky to get to hear the prophet and all the leaders. They are there for no other purpose than to lift us up and give us hope in the atonement and to love us. So great!
Dad has injured his back. He spent the weekend on the couch watching conference. It's hard to keep him down. He says to tell you hello and that he loves you.
He is employing Ben and Beau tomorrow up in Melstone, outside of roundup. They will be there for the whole week. I heard dad tell a customer yesterday that his back was injured and that he had a priesthood blessing with consecrated oil. This is a great example of standing for truth and testifying at all times. This guy knows the Bible and said, " that's exactly how they do it in the Bible." Maybe, after dad is done with the job, he can give him a Book of Mormon. I think those people who faithfully read the Bible are being prepared for the BOM.
Well, I am off work today, and forgot that it was Monday. So, this is late. It may give you a chance to catch up on other correspondence. Well, I love you and pray for you always.

Hey!
Woooooo! I loved conference! Elder Nelson, Anne Dibbs (love the gospel not just live it is what we have been teaching the members in various meetings), and Uchdorf's priesthood. Top three. Might have to throw Elder Christensen's talk about the Holy Ghost in there...I think it was Christensen. Tough choices. I watched conference at a member's house in Iowa City with our whole district. We just gasped and then cheered when we heard the announcement. There will be so many more missionaries in the next few years! Think of how this will change highschool...it will change everything. I could not have imagined serving when I was 18, but whom the Lord calls He qualifies. I am so excited. The Lord just keeps blessing us out here.
So I recieved some good news. Iyabo, the african-american bisexual jew in Keokuk, got baptized a couple weeks ago! It was so fun to teach her.
Tell Dad to keep up the good missionary work...and lift with your legs :).
So we will be working really hard on finding this week. We also plan to set some baptism dates. We have a couple of investigators that are so close. Denise the single mother being the closest. Please pray for miracles. We need all the prayer and faith we have to reach 400 by the end of the year!
Love you ,
Elder Tall
