This week was awesome!
Well we did not get a lot of time to work this week because of General Conference. We did however get to bike up and down River watch parkway 60 million times. Not really that many times but most of our week was spent down that road. This road is great for exercising. You go up and then down and back up again. It is more of a Hill than a road. I have a love hate relationship with it especially by the end of the week when my legs are tired. It was great!
Also we got to do some service. It was to help out with some of the damage form Hurricane Irma. There were some trees knocked over from the heavy gusts we had. As part of the Mormon Helping Hands w e went and helped to drag the logs and branches that were being chain sawed off. We could have had a huge bonfire by the end.
GENERAL CONFERENCE!
Well first off how did you like the shout out that President Eyring gave to that GA stake that helped out in FL for Hurricane relief?? Yeah that was the August, GA stake in which I am serving right now. I was not able to go down with them but many went and served where they could.

These are just a few of the quotes I loved! I hope everyone who watched was inspired Like me!
This week we also had a wild game dinner put on by the stake. There are some hunters that bring all of the meets. They cook it all up and they feed 700+ people off of their year's worth of hunting. It was great. They would not tell us what all of the meats were though since they wanted everyone to be comfortable. That is what they told me. I loved it all!
Oh and we had the cops called on us! We stay out until 9PM every night and so one night we were just walking around a neighborhood since we know people do not like to have their doors knocked on past dark. Well someone thought we looked suspicious in our white shirts and ties and so they called the cops on us. A cop rolled up and just asked who we were. We told him and he said ok thanks have a great night gentlemen sorry to bother you!:p
