My comp, Elder Bennett, is going home at the end of this transfer, so I'm trying to stop the trunky from getting him. It actually hasn't been too bad. He's from Wakko, Texas, BTW. My comp is a pretty funny guy and always tries to make me laugh during prayers in front of people. Conference was good. I came out of conference with a lot more questions than I went in with. It's honestly spiritually overwhelming to me. I feel like I've been doing pretty good spiritually. I feel like my missionary skills have grown a lot. I do feel like I'm still, as usual, pretty hard on myself. But I've found so much love and grace through Christ as I try to see myself as He sees me. Right now, I'...
