Desiree and Elder Young taught Jane Miller. We went and picked up my stuff for
exchanges and went over to Sister Simons. I will be with Elder Nicholson in his

Today was really
strange. Elder Nicholson and I spent all afternoon working on our essay
questions for BYU and I was able to finish and feel confident in the answers.
We had dinner with the Darnell's. We then went on two different splits for
their wards which went well. When we got to the apartment to exchange back
Elder Young told me that we had to go take Elder Stott to the emergency room
because he crashed on his bike pretty bad. He's ok just gonna be really sore.
That ordeal made it a really late night because now it's quarter to midnight so
probably gonna be tired tomorrow!

Today was really
good! Conference was good but these General conference sessions have been my

lined up to take our investigators to conference just brought them to their
home or what but no one was at the stake center with us. We had dinner with the
Gardner's which was really good. We made some visits all the night.
