Conference was great! and Jing, who's been investigating since September, was baptized. The testimony she shared at her baptism was amazing. The Relief Society Presidency was there and they were SO impressed and happy to welcome her. She tends to have a hard time making new friends but everybody was SO willing to take her in.
I feel a lot better about going home now. Even excited. I think a lot of it is because Dillon Maughan sent me a letter and it just helped me realize that no matter where I am God has something for me to do and people for me to help.
Making marriage a priority, like they said in conference, kinda worries me a little. I still feel so young and unprepared... But it is what the Lord wants me to do. I also really loved all the talks about service. Conference really inspired me to be like Captain Moroni who used all his power and influence to glorify God and help his fellow-man.
I have to go to DC because we live in Idaho (http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/zmzlglj/t84229.htm) or else I'd pick New York or LA. And I'll probably want to visit the family in California.
Thank you for all your support and love! I'll see you in a few weeks!Elder Benjamin James Eddy

(To Elizabeth)
Yeah, the General authorities have been called 'to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant' (Jeremiah 1:10)
and they do their job. It definitely makes me want to really be productive after my mission. It's hard not to be now but I know how easy it was for me to be lazy back home. But I'm excited to go and try. Scared that marriage needs to be a priority for me now... Really scared. 23 days? crazy. I guess it's 22 now right? well, see ya soon!
