Hey!

Sounds like conference there was awesome! I really enjoyed each session! It was interesting how Elder Andersen said that they don't choose any themes for the talks but there always seems to be a main theme of the conference. This time every talk was about the family. I don't have much time today to write but i hope everything else is going well. We have had really bad luck with our car this week. First we had to get our oil changed and a tire replaced. Then we took it back in a couple days later because it was grinding when we slowed down. We found out we had no brake pads left and it was metal on metal which destroyed the rotors as well so they had to replace all that. It cost a lot so the office had to approve it in Salt Lake and that took several hours because they were so busy, then we had to wait for parts to come in so they could start working on it. Then they didnt approve getting the brake fluid flushed and replaced(which was burnt out) because it cost too much but they decided to do it 2 days later so we went back in again for that. Then to top it off, on our way to the priesthood session we were stopped at a light in front of a big van and out of nowhere this guy slams into us from behind and then we slammed into the van in front. We're fine but we got whiplashed pretty good so our heads and necks were soar and it jolted my hip pretty good. Its just a bit soar though so we're fine. The intersection was a fork and i waved for him to pull over but as soon as the light turned green i went left to follow the van i hit and he sped off to the right so i couldn't catch him. Just our rear bumper is bent and some scratches in front and back. The van was fine cause we only hit his hitch. Crazy! Anyways the work is going ok. We dropped all but 1 investigator and are starting over. Its been really hard lately to find new people.

Well im excited for the week to come. Conference gave me a boost of spiritual energy! Have an awesome week!

Love,

Elder Carty
