He went to the Philippines on his mish, and his younger sister A. is the cutest!!!!!! we love her! she is 13 and we took her to ice cream and it was the best!!!!! She made little BR entries for each of us! its the cutest!!!!!!! i love her!!!!! anyway! so we talked about General Conference with their family, and they really opened up to us. They told us several things, trials, and personal things it was one of the most spiritual lessons i have ever had! i can't even remember half of the stuff i said! The spirit was no doubt leading my words! i love that after lessons… i can tell when the spirit was directing my thoughts and words!
