Wow, I'm 20 years old! I had a great birthday yesterday. To watch conference on my birthday was a great present. We watched all 4 sessions at Jerry and Martha Howe's house. On both days Martha fed us breakfast right before the morning session, lunch in between, and dinner after the last session. She is a sweetheart. Then on my birthday they decorated their house for me with signs and balloons and Martha and Jerry bought me a cake with my name on it! They were so nice, and I couldn't have thought of a better birthday. Jerry and Martha both enjoyed conference. The thing that I took away is to have more patience and put others before myself. Also, conference really made me realize what parents I have. I'm so grateful to be blessed with the gospel in my life and to be raised in a home where the spirit could be felt and where I was loved and taught the gospel. It was a great conference/Easter/birthday weekend. Also this week I went on splits int he Tongan program with Elder Latu. For dinner we were served pig head! - The whole head! I tried pig brains for the first time (and probably the last!)
