Transfer 6: Week 5: South Two

Hello!

This is Sister Pielstick for her weekly report on the happenings on Temple Square. First off, there is a rapidly rising number of people on the Square as everyone comes around for General Conference. We're met just about every Australian that has come here (mainly because Sister Farmer's unabiding love and adoration for anything down under attracts them like flies to vinegar), as well as a good portion of the Portuguese people who love coming to Temple Square for conference year after year after year... (maybe some of Sister Bruno's charm rubbed off on me, we're meeting a lot of people). But it is exciting because everything is ready for a smashing conference! There are a lot of people coming for trainings and such because it's the annual conference... and there's a new version of our favorite Joseph Smith movie made just for people not familiar with the history... Everything is going on well and amazingly. (and the link goes to the online version of the film)

Teaching people is going on well as well... one of our friends is actually going to get baptized soon (we hope!). He actually called us to ask how he could get baptized, so it's not the biggest surprise that could happen while we were here. He's even looking into applying at BYU to get a better spot in his job. Our other investigators are doing well and are excited to read or listen to General Conference... listening to the prophet and seeing if it is true for himself. I'm really excited to see how they work and grow and find out for themselves that God loves them and wants to bring them home. Sister Farmer and I are so excited for everyone!

Temple Square is amazing, so many prepared and wonderful people here to learn a little more about what we believe. Even if people are just looking around they too can feel the pervading peace and comfort that we can feel when we're in a place so close to God's House here on earth. Especially a place where so many gave up so much to work on the Temple.

Love you all and wish you the best... and if you're not planning on watching conference you're going to be missing out! Living revelation by living prophets from a living God, you'd better check it out!
