Conference talks especificamente talking to me!

Hola Familia,

Well this was a great week. Not REALLY great like I wanted it to go, but we got a bunch accomplished. We found a couple sweet families even though it was really hard to bring them to the stake center for conference. Im sure we will have a ton in church next week.

So it has started to get way hot here. Im throwin down the sunscreen everyday (thanks for the precaucion mom) Especially since we have been tracting almost all day everyday. It is a little bit hard the work here because we don’t have very many members on our side of the ward boundaries (member how I told you there are 4 missionaries in my ward) Yea, well there are lots, just not active ones that can help us.
Im slowly getting to know more and more members and we have had a little bit more help. Our mission leader is awesome and he helped us bring investigators 45 minutes to the stake center.

Mi hijo is sweet. He gets frustrated a lot and I feel bad correcting him now, but he knows its for his own good. Im sending pictures today don’t worry mom.

It sounds like everything is going great at home! Everyone is doing good and its great to hear that others in my family love mexico too (with Todd and Ashley going, and Kurt and Carli planning to go) I think its crazy to hear about the twins talking and saying all those funny things. It sounds like they’ve grown up a ton. Also cool about Bead taking the ACTS and going to ASU. Tell the ASU coach that Brad is going to be the quarterback and im going to be his receiver…… have a little Heap to Heap action. He might like that idea.

Oh and I wanted to comment on how absolutely AWESOME conference was. There were so many talks especificamente talking to me. I don’t remember who said what because I don’t have my notes with me write now (I took bomb Spanish notes Mom….Be proud) But I really enjoyed the talks on Sunday about the temple and the importance of going often. I think everytime I have a big decision to make in my life, I am going to fast, pray and go to the temple. Almost all of the talks, said something about how hard times are right now, and its true. BUT, how lucky are we to have the gospel of Jesus Christ. I swear im turning into an old man though (at least in my thoughts). Sometimes I catch myself praying for so long. I remember like it was just yesterday that Bead and I would tell mom before she started the family prayers ¨¨don’t say a long one mom¨¨ I guess that’s a good thing though, in these hard times, its really important to spend a lot of time on our knees.

There were so many talks that I enjoyed. I felt bad that my comp wasn’t understanding very much. I read my notes to him in English haha.

Well, there isn’t that much to say today. The work is going strong and im lovin everyday of it. I think they should have kept the missions to 3 years like in the olden days. There is so much to do and so little time. Everything is too easy and too awesome in this life if we have a gospel perspective. It makes me sooooo happy! I hope that all of you enjoy each day knowing that we can be happy if we are just obedient. The church is true. There is no doubt about it. I am so thankful for my Savior that He died for me and payed the price that I could have this kind of happiness. There is no other place in the world that is better. I think im just too blessed to be stressed.

Con amor,
Elder Greg Heap
