Additional Excerpts From a Handwritten letter (11/05/2013)

Dear Family,

Transfers came and went and I got to stay!  I am really glad that I got to stay.  It is great to watch Gabby's progress.  She is already such a great missionary.  She set up an appointment with us tomorrow for her sister, mom and dad.  Her Dad is coming all the way from Virginia to hear the lessons.  I don't know if I told you or not, but Gabby really wants to serve a mission!  Her Mom and her were asking about prices for a mission and about BYU for college after she gets back. 

I really loved Conference!  I LOVED Elder Hollands talk on mental and emotional challenges.  It brought one of the brothers that we were watching it with to tears.  Elder Holland really got personal this conference.  Usually he focuses on calling people to repentance, but not at all this time.  It was an amazing talk. 

Also, President Uchtdorf's talk, where he addressed people who are less active was incredible.   I loved how he spoke about "Doubting your doubts before you doubt your faith".  I thought that was great! 

Love to all,

Elder Gold
