I love conference time

Dear Family and Friends,
It has been a really good weekend. i love conference time. it is like the super bowl. infact i think this is the most excited i was for conference in a long time. so i was able to attend 2 sessions at the conference center. the sat am session and the sunday pm session. its was very fulfilling. But despite what you saw on the camera it was not sunny and there were not a whole lot of flowers out! haha it was rainy and cloudy the whole weekend. So that stuff they show before conference definitely not use or filmed recently. i think they just pick and choose the videos they want from past videos! haha 
So i was thinking about all the words and i think that we need to be better at the information we have on family search.org. there are not sources or stories from any of the grandparents or great grand parents and i think that we as grandkids and great grand kids would read them if they were up there. it would also be very nice to have the stories of all the conversions in our line. 
This past week we picked up a new inv! Yes! i was so happy. its an 11 year old girl named breanica Erickson and she just moved into her active grandparents house with her less active mom. so hopefully we will get the mom active. it was a long time since we were able to teach an investigator so it made my day. 
Oh and i have to tell you of a dinner expereince we had the other day! There was a lot of mix ups and she thought were were coming at 6. well we showed up at 5 and she was just peeling the potatoes... and i dunno we just didnt realize that she wasnt close to being ready because she said she was. then she told us to cook a little bit while she left... so she left and we started cooking. she grabbed this 93 year old to eat with us and while she finished cooking he told us story after story after story. i dont know how many were true. they were pretty far fetched. To make a long story short, we didnt start eating until 6:45. thats when dinner was finally ready. Dinner actually was very good. Except! i put poopy seed dressing on my salad and after i was eating it for a while i saw that it expired in 2007... i was 14 when this dressing expired! to be polite i ate my whole salad and drank a lot of water! oh man it was nasty. i didnt get sick though...
Well life here is going great. i am gratefulfor this mission and for the testimony i have recieved. gratitude is something i am trying to be better at.
Love elder Salmon
