Nothing really special happened this week other than Conference, and it was awesome!! I guess the coolest thing was we met a guy on the street named Shawn, who is from Nigeria, and he had 2 young kids who were black and obviously preferred Chinese over English. Actually now that I think of it they may only know a little English, but they were the coolest little kids, but anyways Shawn seemed super interested!! He even asked us for our phone number and we have been in contact with him, so we are super excited to teach him, or see how he does if we hand him over to some of the English missionaries.

Talking about conference, we, missionaries call it the Superbowl weekend for missionaries!! I loved how the priesthood session started off. Elder Holland started by blessing the Priesthood holders about home teaching, and we missionaries just started dying because Elder Holland was also talking to us, but the talks that stood out to me the most was Elder Stevenson on the Saturday afternoon session. I loved his challenge to give up some of your TV/ phone time and read the Book of Mormon. He said if you can give 10 minutes to reading it, it could make a big difference in your life, and ain't that the truth!! I also love Elder Rasband's talk to end the Conference. If any of you are struggling with your testimony GO READ HIS TALK!!! I promise it will help!!
There isn't really anything out of the ordinary to report this week. No super spiritual lessons, just spiritual. English Class is becoming really good. When I got here we averaged 5 or 6 people at a class, but the last 2 weeks its been like 18-20 people, and there are regulars that have been coming for months, who are just now starting to meet with the missionaries. Its awesome!!
Today we had a ward activity and we just got back from Central. We went to a old church chapel that was turned into a Museum, and before it was a chapel. It was owned by a super rich guy. so yeah they had church in a mansion before! We also went around to some of the historical sites around there it was pretty fun.
So that was my week!! Shout out to my buddy Elder Loftus who I saw in the MTC choir that sang in Conference!!
Love you all
Elder Eveson
