One of our "investigators" dropped us, it was sad and frustrating because I don't know what I could've done better, but our other pretend investigator got baptized! which is good except that everyone else's pretend investigator got baptized a few weeks ago so I feel a little behind sometimes. But it's okay. I'll just keep trying to get better at this.

Sundays are so good here! Yesterday was mission conference so we got to hear lots of good talks, it's kind of like stake conference. Also, last week's devotional, it was really good, Elder Nelson and Elder Holland came and we got to sing in the choir. Elder Nelson rededicated five buildings on campus, including our residence hall! It was really a very neat experience, to be there for that. I sure came at the right time! To be here for Christmas AND the 50th anniversary of the MTC, is pretty special!

Anyway, we had very good talks yesterday. President Brown gave a powerful talk about repentance and the Atonement. And this is something that Pres. Nally said: A testimony is knowing what is true, a conversion is being true to what you know. I really like that, and it kind of echoes what Elder Bednar said on Christmas, about how having a testimony isn't enough, for us or our investigators, we need to be converted, we need to really *know* what we know, and live it. And another favorite part of Sundays is after devotional we get to watch either church movies or old MTC devotionals, we always watch the talks because you can see movies any old day, talks are only available in the MTC, so we watched a really powerful one on prayer by Elder Scott. It was really good, and reminded me that prayers are answered on the Lord's timetable, not ours, and His answers are the ones we actually need, much more than what we think we need. It was a really good talk.
