Conferences

Hey,

This week flew by again. It was weird because we lost a day and a half for zone conference. Which was a good one, but other than that it was a pretty boring week. Not much else to write about.

We were supposed to fly out Wednesday night at 8:30, but we got a call at 7 saying that the flight had been canceled and the only other option was a flight that left at 7:30. Luckily we were already in La Laguna for meetings, so we just grabbed our bags and sprinted across town to grab a taxi. We made it just on time to the airport and flew through security. And then we got to our gate and the flight was delayed an hour. All of that work and it left at the normal time. But that's OK, it was an adventure. It was the smallest plane I have been on. It only had 16 rows of seats and it had propellers. Pretty cool though.

We stayed the night in the zone leaders piso. There were 14 of us, I was lucky to get an air mattress. Most of the guys just put couch cushions on the floor. Then the conference was amazing. President and Hermana Pack started by sharing their testimonies. That was emotional since they will be leaving soon. It's really hitting Hermana Pack. Then Elder Sabin had the rest of the time. He talked about just about everything possible. He covered every part of teaching, finding investigators, doctrine, common questions and doubts, we did practices, everything. I have pages and pages of notes. He is awesome. I don't know if you guys have read his conference talk, but you should check it out. It's a good one. Sadly with the chaos of the mission tour they weren't able to bring down packages. So it will be 6 weeks until I get that one you just sent me.

Yesterday we had stake conference. Unfortunately we weren't able to go to the adult session on Saturday. I guess President and Hermana Pack gave some really good talks. But then yesterday Elder Boom, an area 70 and a senior couple from the temple spoke. It was really good, the topic applied really well to our ward and investigators. They all spoke on eternal families and the blessings of the temple.

Well, we aren't climbing Teide today. The member that was gonna drive us got the flu, so we are going to do that next week. We are on a bus headed to Santa Cruz right now. We are going shopping, so I'll let you know what I end up with. This will be my first time in Primark. Afterwards we're going to play risk with the district. 

Love you guys, 

Elder Johnson
