It's crazy to think that I've already been out here for 5 weeks and that in 5 days I'll be leaving for the mission field. It seems like I've been here forever and just barely got here at the same time. I know for a fact my spanish is not ready for the field, but I know enough to get on by. That's what trainers are for right? I hope my trainer is good. We took an evaluation this past week where we would speak into a microphone answers to questions like, "describe what you think your first day out in the field will be like. Give details." This assessment is sent to our mission presidents and they use it to help them decide our trainer. I'm kind of worried now because my questions were easier than others and I could answer all of them for the most part. Now I'm afraid I'll be put with some native speaker who's accent is ridiculous and they'll assume I can communicate with them because I did decent on the assessment.
But with all that in the past lets talk about conference. This General Confernce was by far the best one I have ever had in my entire life. Probably because I watched and gave my full attention to every single minute of it. Not saying I didn't do that at home *wink, wink* But all the talks were awesome. Hearing from president Monson was good as well and what better things to talk about then charity and reading the Book of Mormon. That just screams missionary work right at my face. Also Elder Hollands was really powerful as always. I really loved the part where he said, "It is by divine design that all the voices in gods choir are not the same." and when he said, "diversity is not a cacophony." it really helped me feel good about what I have to offer in the field.
Anyway wish me luck.
Elder Price
