Anyways, we got to go on exchanges twice this week. The 1st time I got to go with my mission grandson, Elder Trowbridge, which was cool. Elder Phelps did a good job with him. The 2nd time I went to the part of Orem that's as close as you can get to Provo. We could even see BYU campus without leaving the mission. We walked around some really nice neighborhoods which was cool.
President Treadway, my old mission president, got made an Area Seventy this week too. We also got to see Hank Smith speak at the UVU Institute building which was awesome.
General Conference was so awesome. Saturday we got to watched every session with our wards or some members, but Saturday night we watched with another district and Elder Barney and I made breakfast for dinner. I've got a crepe maker and Elder Barney has a Texas-shaped waffle maker, so it was epic.
Sunday after the morning session we blasted off to Lehi. We all met at a church building and then President Evanson drove all the Elders up in a van. It was Elder Barney's first time seeing Temple Square. I got to hear some of my favorite speakers, like P. Oaks and E. Uchtdorf, and the choir was amazing too. P. Nelson also announed 17 temples too which was awesome! My parents also happened to get GenCon tickets for the same session as me, so I got to see them for like 2 minutes too which was awesome too.
I'm so grateful for a modern day prophet. There legit is so much confusion about what's right and what's wrong with reading the scriptures, but the prophet is there to clarify, teach, and invite us to do exactly what God needs us to do. It's pretty amazing.
Elder Barney and I are staying comps, but we just got 2 Polynesian wards in addition to our YSA stake. We're pretty excited. I'm not learning Tongan or Samoan though.
Sorry for the short and boring email. Turns out if I try to add too many pictures then sometimes it will delete everything from the email draft for no reason at all. On the bright side, I get to add more pics now.
Love you all!
Elder Snyder
