 This week has been going good, where I got to help with a cross country meet and gather with a couple other missionaries on Preparation Day. I also got to do my first shift at the Temple as an ordinance worker. The missionary gathering was fun, with just me and two other service missionaries hanging out on Pday. The first shift as an ordinance worker also went well, and some at the Temple still ask about Tom after he served. Just yesterday, I was informed that me and two other missionaries were being put in charge of putting together our next district activity. Not much else going on, but this time, I am remembering to put in a couple pictures. Here are some cats from the Humane Society, along with the herbs I tried to rescue from Second Helpings.

 The past little bit has been going well. Most things at service assignments are good, and recently, I`ve been able to invite people to view General Conference. I hope it goes well with those people accepting. At one place, Second Helpings, there were several house herbs about to be thrown away, so I volunteered to rescue them. They were getting too big for the potting material they were in, and it didn`t look like anyone was going to claim them. Many of them were nearly dead, so I brought them home, got potting material, and did a bit of research on growing herbs. Though many of them still aren`t doing well, and some have gotten worse, others have perked up. I wasn`t too concerned with having empty pots for the ones that won`t make it, I heard that some herbs propagate very quickly, so there, hopefully, should be some new seeds to fill any pots that don`t make it.

General Conference was great, I really liked the talks about 1% increase each day and President Nelson`s introduction at the beginning. It was a very uplifting General Conference.
