Well hello!
Since my mind is pretty much consumed by General Conference, I can't remember much of what we did this week. On Wednesday we went to a member's house to help her do some fall cleaning, and I mopped while Sister McNeil was in charge of vacuuming and dusting. After a little bit, Sister McNeil found a dead mouse underneath the kitchen table that the cat killed and just left. Silly cat. Luckily we were there cleaning, because she said she wouldn't have noticed it for a long time.

Oh! On Wednesday we went to the youth's mutual activity at the Moorestown mall-- Where's Waldo. So they had five adults from the ward hiding/walking around the mall, and we had to go around and find them to get a sticker from each of them. We split into groups and took off. I'm pretty sure I got my exercise in for the transfer, because we were going all over the place! My favorite person that we found was Ben, a young man in the ward who wore a "Where's Waldo" shirt, a wig, and a hat. He was just walking around like normal, and Sister McNeil was like, "Wait... is that Ben?" So we sent one of the young women in the group after him, and he just stared at her like she was crazy for a minute before giving her the sticker. Haha, it was so much fun!
So the best part of the week: General Conference! (For those who don't know, General Conference is held twice a year and it's where the Prophet, his counselors, and the Apostles speak to us to give us counsel and guidance.)
SO MANY GREAT TALKS. I don't even know where to start. I also forgot my notes, so I'll summarize what I can remember:
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf: "Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith."
Elder S. Gifford Nielson: We should have enthusiasm in sharing the gospel-- exclamation point.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland talked about depression, and about how he suffered from it for a while in his own life. Depression is a very real, serious issue, and the Lord cares about each one of His children, and is willing to help with every aspect of our lives, not just the spiritual aspect.
And of course, President Monson talked about missionary work and how "now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together, to labor in the Lord's vineyard to bring souls unto him."
I love General Conference! If you didn't watch it, go watch. If you haven't watched it before, go watch. If you were stubborn and didn't watch it, go watch. We are blessed to know that the Lord still has prophets on the earth, and that Heavenly Father still speaks to us today. I can testify wholeheartedly off all these things, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Love you!
Sister Singleton
