10/2/17... Man, I love General Conference, so much inspiration

Frank Kaminsky jersey I couldn't keep my hands off.

Thank you to all of you for your interest, love and concern for Brad.  He is doing great.  He loves his mission and everyone he is serving in North Carolina.  We miss him, but are so proud of all that he is doing.  This week he will have been out 14 months... which means only 10 months left!  ❤ (but who is counting?! 😉)


Brad has a birthday coming up on November 2!  He would love to hear from you...  

and his mailing address is: 

Elder Brad Morgan
9100 Fisherspond Dr. Apt E1
Charlotte, NC 28277

Again, THANK YOU for you love and prayers on his behalf.  You mean the world to him and to us!

Love, CHRISSY
...enjoy!
General Conference gang
Man, I love General Conference, so much inspiration in it all. I loved how Elder Anderson wrapped it all up at the end.  The spirit was so strong. And how he quoted Elder Hales's talk that he wasn't able to give. That was powerful. We watched conference at Star's house, who just got her patriarchal blessing this week. We watched Saturday's conference there with the Clays, who is our ward mission leader. Then the ward went to Chipotle for dinner before the priesthood session. Sunday was awesome too! We went to Star's with Jason and ate breakfast and then watched conference, then after conference we went back to Star's and we cooked out and grilled some steaks... it was so bomb. Such an awesome weekend filled with inspiration. 

We went on exchanges last week with Elder Olsen and Elder Kimball. It was really fun, Elder Olsen is super funny.  Exchanges are really fun-- you get to learn from each other but also share funny stories so we have a good time. We went to district meeting the next day and I gave a short training on planning since we got new planning guidelines that changed up the way we plan everyday.  It got switched to 6 steps that just help you set goals and make plans with whoever you're working with. And right after the meeting we had an appointment with President Sheppard in Uptown which was super fun.  He wanted us to teach one of his co-workers. It was interesting, he was really nice but wasn't totally into the lesson. He had a lot of doctrinal questions that he wasn't really open to the answers. We are going to try and connect him to the Book of Mormon and let that, combined with the spirit, soften his heart. It was still a lot of fun teaching in Uptown, I love it up there. 

We also got contact with Jo again this week, which was a miracle.  He is having some problems with family pushing back on him, so it's hard for him right now. He doesn't want to get baptized yet but we are still working with him. On exchanges Elder Johnsen and Elder Kimball went and taught Maureen and her family.  They went over and the mom had been talking to the dad and the dad said he really wants to learn more too and wants to be baptized. They watched conference and we are excited to keep teaching them! 
 
Yes I got the package mom! It was awesome thank you! How are the Seahawks doing? I haven't really heard much on them except they're not doing good. I don't even think I have to ask about the Mariners lol.
Love y'all! 
Love you mom! 
Shamok that Jason gave me.

Hey can y'all put some money on my debit card? We need to buy some things for the zone and I don't have enough money for it and food on my mission card. 
Love you!
