What an amazing week!!
I
hope that you all are doing great things, seeing miracles and that you
all had the opportunity to watch General Conference!! It was so amazing
and so inspiring and answered so many of my questions.

What
an amazing normal P-Day for everyone. We didnt have a lot of stuff to
do but we did go to a sweet hair cut place where they played rap music
and all of the guys have tattoos and everything. It was actually pretty
fun to watch. But after that we got right to work inviting everyone to
Conference and stopping people in the street at all costs to invite
them. It was pretty great.
Tuesday (April 2nd, 2019)
Today
was another day full of inviting people to Conference and great
lessons, we are having a lot of fun finding different ways to invite
people. We are inviting families, singles, children, dogs, plants, dirt.
Everything. And we have found a lot of people who dont want to come
haha. But we also found a lot of people who do so thats great!!
Wednesday (April 3rd, 2019)
Today
was even more frantic than yesterday, but nothing really new, just
trying to help people understand why it is so important for people to
come and hear a prophets voice. I know that his words will be inspired.
Thursday (April 4th, 2019)
We got so into it that we invited a lamp post today.
Friday (April 5th, 2019)
Today
was the day that we went back to everyone who said they would come and
asked them when would be best, how they would get there, who they would
go with. We planned everything, down to the details. We even had two
random people on the road that said they would love to go. I am so so
excited for tomorrow.
Saturday (April 6th, 2019)
I
think that April 6th is the most important day of the year. It is the
day that Jesus Christ was born, the day of the First Vision, the day The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded and the day I
got my mission call one year ago. Thats weird. But is was also such an
inspiring day of Conference. I loved all the talks and especially
shoutout to Elder Soares for being Brasilian. I love that man. I hope
that all of you had some questions answered and were able to feel that
Presidente Nelson IS our prophet when we all went to sustain him. I know
for a fact that he was called of God to lead and guide our church on
the earth today.
Sunday (April 7th, 2019)
Today
was strange because we had a ton of people lined up to come and no one
came. But I know that the Lord has great blessings in store for us and
for this branch. Man I love the talks today even more than yesterday. My
favorite was by Elder McKay. It answered so many questions and doubts
that I had had. So many ways that I could be better in my missionary
work. We even saw some amazing miracles with the talks. But I think like
everyone is expecting, it was weird that we didnt see any changes in
the missionary time or age or anything. They must be saving it for
later. Man I loved Conference.
Spiritual Thought:
Alma 37:34. I
know that even when we try our hardest and it doesnt work out, we still
need to keep going and doing the good works of the Lord, and he will
bless us in the future with rest and life eternal.
I love you all!! Have the best week and study the conference talks. They are modern day scripture.
Love,
Elder Allen
