conference, Drew/Solomon, Relief Society

Hermana Solomon came to me and asked if I remember Elder Drew.  He was at the CCM a year ago and I found his conversion story very interesting. He told me how his parents were totally inactive and he was not baptized.  He is from St. George and had friends who were Mormon.  One girl particularly was very helpful in teaching him about the gospel.  They dated for 3 years, he was baptized and then he left on a mission.  She also decided to go go on a mission and a year later she is at the CCM.  I had asked asked Elder Drew if he would write a letter of  his conversion story.  He did and it was 6 pages long. Hermana Solomon asked if she could read it.  I gave her a copy since it is highly likely they will marry when she returns.  He speaks very highly of her in the letter from the first page to the last.  It is all a nice story...to be continued.  

This is what Relief Society is like for our Hermanas.  We used to meet all together and now they meet in small groups of zones.  

This is how we watch conference at the CCM.  Actually this was a pre-conference photo as we were waiting for the broadcast to begin. We meet in the auditorium along with 700 other North Americans.  The Latinos who are fewer in number (about 200) are in the Harold B. Lee chapel.
