Conference and Hot Showers

I have not had a hot shower since I left the MTC. But this last week we finally got our heater fixed and man I steam up this bathroom so bad. I for real am melting my skin off every time I take a shower. It is so nice. Also we finally watched General Conference this week. Got to say I really am upset at myself for always falling asleep during conferences because, man, this is great stuff. Granted I did take a power nap halfway through a talk during Sunday morning, but hey, I'm improving. I honestly got to say though, the talks have really helped me understand where I can improve and how I can come closer to Christ. Also, got me really excited for next Conference. All these new changes really do make me confident that this church is the true church, and that it is led by prophecy and revelation and in unity with the Savior. 
We have been getting fed so much lately it's crazy. I haven't bought groceries in 3 weeks. Now mom, don't worry, they feed us and give us food to take home and man, it is absolutely insane. My pants still don't fit which is frustrating. but that is besides the point. But actually my thighs are getting bigger because we are doing this jump workout and by the end of next week, I reckon that I could dunk. I am pretty pumped. Right now I am hitting mid palm on the rim and thats pretty close, just got to get a few more inches. 
Also got a haircut. Its REAL short. I miss my long hair... jk doing it to be a good lil' obedient missionary. I guess.... 
This last week we also went to the Temple again. I was excited because its the hecken temple but also because I thought we went to the temple every 6 months but it is actually 3 so thats great. I really went with the spirit and prepared myself for it and felt wonderful. We also got a bomb district pic. 
Although a lot of time this week was spent doing other things running around and only a bit for our area we actually destroyed must of our goals. We planned for 5 new people being taught, 5 at church, and 5 baptismal dates. We got 6 new people and 5 people that we reteaching came to church. So good. I keep feeling at times that our goals are ridiculously high and at times impossible. But with faith, if these things are what God wants us to do they will get done. So crazy to see this stuff happening. Sadly however, we haven't been able to get many people to accept baptism but hopefully that will change soon. 
I am eating just fine mom, look a bowl of corn for dinner! 
Stay safe peeps.
