this last half of the week was a total rollercoaster! so ill just skip straight to the parts that are important haha! so on saturday we all had the wonderful opportunity to hear from elder quinten l cook from the 12 and we also got to have elder bluth and elder halstrom come and talk as well! it was a very spiritual experience because we had all the missionaries in our mission here and so the chapel was filled and so we thought we wouldnt have to chance to shake his hand because it was going to be a pretty short meeting. but he came in and we all had the opportunity to shake his hand! when he started it was a really neat experience because he just talked for a few minutes and we had the rest of the time for a question and answer kind of thing and it was a really spiritual experience with a couple questions that were totally out of there and when they were asked no one was expecting an answer but they all gave such great answers to them but the thing that stuck out to me the most was when elder cook was bearing his testimony. usually when people say that they heard the holy ghost its jsut about like a still small voice but when elder cook bore his testimony he said quote "i know the voice of the lord" and the whole room just went blank. haha all the missionaries were shocked and you could definitely feel the spirit in that room. then we went to lunch as a district at five guys and that was really good. havent gone to five guys in forever! then on sunday elder cook came to our stake conference again and talked about how the world make even the most disgusting things look like a million buck on the outside and how we need to see things for what they actually are. but the best part about that day is that our one and only investigator walter and alma came and after they told us that they wanted to go see elder cook. so elder joubert and i were trying to push them up into the crowd to go and shake his hadn and our branch president comes up to us and we tell him about how they want to see elder cook and so we walks up to elder bluth and says "we have a family of investigators that want to shake hands" and so elder bluth gets elder cook and brings him over and walter, alma, and their 1 1/2 year old daughter rachel get to shake his hand! it was a really neat experience! and on monday we were all waiting for a phone call to see who is getting transfered and everone in my district but two peple are getting transfered! so elder joubert and i are going to a new home so i would wait to send out anyting (if youare) until i get the address of our new appartment. thanks for everything! lvoe you guys. elder horrocks
