2011 Apr 4

Hey!

This week, nothing really picture-worthy happened and I didn`t want the videos and voice recordings to lose their fun. This week was really good though. My compa and I got along a lot better than we had before. And everyone can understand my Spanish whenever I want them to and I when I want to talk secretly to my companion, I just use my old, crappy Spanish. :)

And on Thursday, we went on Splits with the zone leaders and it was awesome! I learned a lot about improving my relationship with my comp and a lot of other stuff as well like how to contact better and everything else. And that I got to be away from my comp for a little while was nice too. I definitely love him a lot more and I could definitely see myself living and being happy with him for the rest of this change but I don`t think that I would want to be with him for longer than that.

This week we had a mission conference AS WELL as General Conference. The mission conference was on Friday and lasted a really long time (from 7:30AM to 7PM) and my brain was pretty dead afterwards like I had just studied in the library at BYU all day and it was hard to process a complete though but it was really good. One of the speakers out of the about 8 that spoke was named Hna Rina Lang and she was a really really pilas missionary. She was the very last of the speakers that I got to hear but she was my favorite by far. She´s been home from her mission for.... I don`t know how long but she just sent a son on a mission so it`s been a while. And she was really good. In a nutshell, look them in the eyes and be professional and competent and obedient and love your companion and you´ll succeed. And something that President told us at the conference (he had told us before but I was reminded of it at the conference) was that he is going home in only 3 months! Which is crazy to think about! I think that he seems tired so I think that it will be good for him.

That night, we went to the Cifuentes house to teach a lesson and they said that they will get baptized on the 23rd of April! And so we are probably going to have to push back the date for Maria Cifuentes too but I think that everything will still be okay.

On Friday night when I was laying in my bed trying to fall asleep, I felt like it was Christmas eve and I was so excited that I kind of couldn´t fall asleep but I was really tired so it probably only took about 30 more seconds to fall asleep than it usually does but, needless to say, I was pretty excited about General Conference. My favorite session as a whole was probably the Sunday morning session but my favorite talk out of all of them was the one given on Saturday morning by, I think her name was Jean something (1st counselor in the primary general presidency) and I loved it soo much. How we need to make ourselves be more like children. And I liked Bednar’s talk about revelation a lot too.

And I have to go right now but have an amazing week!

Love,
