Missing Post from Last week

"This week was GREAT! I had such a wonderful birthday present! Our mission president's wife talked President into letting all of the sisters go down to South Africa, to do a session at the temple, and to visit a lion and rhino park! I love her. It was wonderful. So on my birthday, I got to visit a lion and rhino park, and see lots of amazing animals, and got some amazing photos, and I also got to pet baby white tigers! It was a blast. It was a great birthday here in Africa. And then this weekend was general conference, so my birthday week was pretty much the best ever! Wasn't conference great? I realized something though, conference is a totally different experience here on mission. All of you returned missionaries I am sure know what I am talking about. But I'll explain for those who don't know what I am talking about. Normally when I would watch conference I would look for things would benefit me and help me. But this time it was totally different. Don't get me wrong, I learned plenty of things will benefit me, but pretty much the whole time I was thinking about our investigators, just wishing they had been there to hear it, and so grateful for the ones that were there."
"And every talk, for me at least, seemed to apply to my missionary work. I just kept thinking how the talks were given for my different investigators and their needs specifically, and how they were missing it! But not to worry, I will make sure they get a copy of the Ensign. So, this conference experience is one I am sure I will never forget. To me, the underlying message for me was to aim high, to do better, and be better, do all you can to achieve the impossible. For me, that is what I most took away from this conference. It was great. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did, and remeber to heed those promptings you received during conference. Til next time! Love you all and miss you all. Thanks for your prayers in my behalf, they are greatly appreciated.

Oh, and P.S. I want to say congratulations to my wonderful cousin! You know who you are! That is wonderful! I am so happy for you and your family! Love you!"
