Conference was like fresh air to my heart, it was the best one so far on my mission. I took much from every talk given. Some that stood out to me a little bit more than others were Elder Cook of the seventy "Look up!", President Packer's address to the youth, and the emphasis by Elders Callister, Ballard, Holland, and Perry about standing up for the church and opening our mouths to correct error and to testify to those around us. We shouldn't be shy to share the truth with people, I hope the members world-wide take heed to their words. As we departed Saturday night, walking to the tracks to take back to West Valley, we ran into Elder Cook, the one mentioned above. Him and his wife stop and talked to us for a few minutes. He is definitely as humble as he appeared during his talk, what a guy! As he walked away he hollered, "Remember to always look up!"
The huskies were in town playing the Utes this weekend. I saw these two men in husky purple walking through the crowd, and chased them down. How I love to talk with people from Western Washington! Sadly they were already members of the church, so I couldn't preach to them and send missionaries to their homes in Seattle, oooooh well. I saw some dear dear friends of mine as well. The former Emily Stott came with her husband Tyler and found me. I was a little shocked when I saw them. The fun continued when Laura Turner showed up on the scene! It doesn't end there, Rebecca Sellers came on Sunday, she having returned from her mission in Toronto not too long ago! My Polish brother Corey Wozniak was there, but to my dismay I forgot to take a picture with him. All of them are friends from my freshmen year at BYU, I definitely have a special place in my heart for freshmen year peeps. But most importantly, I was able to see my brother Todd, and younger sister Courtney. My family rocks, go Warczak's.
I have my next cancer check-up on the 17th, I still feel good, and no odd lumps on me anywhere....soooo I think I'm still cancer free! I'll wait until the scan though to come to any conclusion :)
Less than 8 months now, my oh my!
Love, Elder Scotty
LOVE,
