Hola familia!
Is that what the other Elder Dutson's emails look like? ;)
It has been a wonderful (wet) week!
Conference was incredible, we were all sad when it was done. Each session only seemed like 20 minutes!
Something I noticed, which I am sure everyone else did as well, was the prominent role the Book of Mormon played in the Conference. There was talk after talk devoted to that book, and a handful of others that refrenced its power and divine authorship.
Something interesting is that the last issue of the Ensign was complety devoted to the Book of Mormon! Do you think the brethren are trying to convey a message? I sure do haha. Joseph Smith said that it is the most correct of any book on earth and that man would come nearer to God by reading it than by any other book. Seems pretty important, as missionaries we invite everyone to read it because it is where answers come from. The Sprit uses it to teach!
My love for President Monson grows everytime i see him! He is just such a happy man! And he always reminds me of Grandpa Dutson which makes me smile evn bigger!
This week has been more of a preparation week for one reason or another. We have done lots of planning and studying it seems like. We are tying to start teaching this girl named Kelsey, she is 16 and wants to meet with us but the family she is staying with does not want her to. Sister Shirley who is just amazing is trying to work with them on it so we will see. Kelsey's dad is off in who-knows-where and mom is homeless. Very nice girl and wants to learn. The Shirleys daughter Rachel is very good friends with her, and she was over when we had dinner!
The work is wonderful, Vancouver is beautiful, and the Church is true. Pretty simple :)
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
Halloween is coming up...candy...oreos???(hint) ;)
Love,
Elder Dutson
