Hey fam!!
You are all looking so good! That is awesome that you were able to see
KG! You are going to have to tell him congratulations for me on making
the team! As always he is looking gigantic so I can tell they have been
feeding him nothing but protein up there haha.
Caden is looking good as well. . . but I can't tell if he is on the right
or the left. . . :) Hahaha.
Seeings how you are probably wondering, I am emailing you a day
late because we had conference yesterday. Oh my goodness, it was
seriously the best conference that I have ever been to in my entire
life. We were blessed to hear from President and Sister
Roney and two of their neighbors, Elder Lund (A member of the 70) and
Sister Lund, they both know Gordon Brown really well. Our conference
went all day long and I think that was the most spiritually mind blown
that I have ever been in my whole life.
I will just recap a few of my favorite things that I learned. . .
I will just recap a few of my favorite things that I learned. . .
Elder Lund told us a few stories about President Roney when he was
first getting started as the head of Nu Skin. Elder Lund was working as a
lawyer at the time and President Roney offered him a job. He took it
immediately because he didn't really enjoy
what he was doing currently. He said he knew it was the right job when
the third week of work President Roney told him, "Make sure you wear a
suit tomorrow. . . because tomorrow we are going to be taking our wives
to the temple."
He told another story about President Roney. He said that they
would be meeting with the heads of companies from all over the world,
big senators and city council men, and very important people. He said
that midway through the meeting President Roney would
give him the one minute finger and hold up his phone. . . He said as
soon as President Roney left the room he was never going to be coming
back haha. He said that every time he gave this sign he was leaving to
one of his kids baseball games or some kind of
event of that sort. He said that it set the tone for Nu Skin that if the
family is this important to the head of the company than it should be
the same for the rest of them. So, President Roney made sure that
everyone in his company was spending time with their
families.
He told us the coolest stories about how President Roney always put
the gospel first, and according to President Roney he swears that that
is the reason for his success.
President Roney expanded on the Savior's life by explaining stories
from his life and the importance of learning to trust the savior on your
mission. The stories that he shared were amazing and I can't wait to
someday share the incredible things that I have
been learning out here on my mission.
Okay. . .
As for this last week.
It was pretty nuts preparing for conference. We had to purchase all
of the food and prepare everything so that it was ready, but in the end
we pulled it off and it was an amazing conference.
Our investigator Carine is doing really good right now. She is
still progressing fairly well and this week we taught her about the word
of wisdom. Hopefully all goes well this week and we can re fix her
baptismal date.
Most of the people we are teaching right now are college students
and they are all super cool. We spend a lot of time around the institute
which is right next to a big college, so we meet a lot of students
through out the day.
The night before conference we had about 10 missionaries stay in
our apartment and quite a few were kids that I came into the MTC with so
it was a blast being able to see them and to talk about all the crazy
things that have happened so far.
Well,
I love being a missionary for Jesus Christ. It is the greatest
blessing in the world. This conference really helped me out to see how
amazing missions are and how much I truly love being out here. Thanks
for all of your support and have an amazing week.
With all the love in the world,
Elder Beyer
