Tennis is fun...week 86

I just played a lot of tennis with a professional tennis player. Sure I got my trash kicked. Sure I am not very good. Doesn't matter though.

This is one of the nicest members ever. I will get a picture for y'all later of all of us at an oceanside court! 

For now, I'll just say that General Conference was everything that I hoped for and MORE! I actually had a list of questions almost a page long. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS ALMOST DIRECTLY QUOTED BY A SPEAKER AND ADDRESSED! Each was also relayed in a way that helped me to know for a fact that it was true.

Don't you just love having the Holy Ghost as your best friend...if he isn't your best friend yet, MAKE IT HAPPEN!

I don't have a favorite talk. Every single one I was inspired by. The music of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was, as always, a spiritual standing ovation!

Saw Elder Belknap at General Conference! I also saw sister Terry a week ago for a baptism (Forgot to take pictures...or mention it last week...woops...). We are still going strong here with the most fantastic Branch in the entire world. A lot of friends from India and Bangladesh came together and it was amazing to chat with them for a while after the conference. They are such great and kind people!

Elder Johnson's got some scary features in that last one...I love my companion!

Notes from Mom:  Our family has been able to resume our Sunday evening walks now that it snows less frequently.  I sent Ian a picture of the moon rising.  It was remarkably clear.  He said, "Something I miss...clean air. I don't think I have seen a clear moon for my entire mission. I once got really excited in Sheung Shui when I saw 4 stars at the same time."  

We sent Ian a package this week, filled with some Easter goodies for him and Elder Johnson.  I know it was delivered and signed for, but asked if he got it.  "Couldn't go today. I went and played tennis with a member who is sponsored by Prince. Super Fun! We had tacos afterwards (SO GOOD!).

Elder Stratford said that he would bring it down to the Wan Chai chapel sometime this week though, so I will get it in time :)"

"I don't know if you have become friends with Brother Jeff Johnson yet, but he took us to a REALLY nice place and got us ribs! Best ribs any of us have ever had!"
