Week of April 8th,2009

Hi Mom,
general conference week on the mission is the best. i love general conference!!! its so nice to hear all the talks and really be spiritually uplifted. i learned so much and it really got me excited for the future... elder neil anderson did talk to us a while back in a conference here so that was pretty cool to hear that he got the call as the new apostle. i especially liked the talks of the first presidency and then of course jefferey r holland always lays down a killer of a talk.
we have 2 baptisms marked this weekend so once again the week is gonna have a really great ending. 2 boys of a family that we have been teaching for a while. the parents would like to get baptized also but need to get married first. the boys are really excited about the church and the whole family already has a strong testimony about the book of mormon.
the book of mormon, if you really read it with the intention of learning something ,is an awesome powerful book. i have no doubt that it is true. i remember when i read it when i was in seminary. i read a good ten pages then remember nothing of what i had read but now its a different story.
spring is still trying to break its way through huh. dont worry it will come.
the elders in the office are gonna think im spoiled when they see another package for elder coats... its a good thing that i dont care what they think.
thanks for the packages. if you remember maybe put some more sunflower seeds in it, i am out.
tell everyone that i love them and that i feel their support in my life everyday.
i love you mom!! have a great week and i will talk to ya next week!
Elder Coats
