General Conference was awesome!

The week has been good. We are still looking for some prepared people. We did find some guys who flagged us down and were talking to us that could have some potential. They were working at the time but this week we are going to stop by and talk to them. Also conference was awesome like always! That was a highlight. 
 I listened to conference in English. I can understand it in Castellano but I prefer to listen to it in the voices of the people not their translator`s voice. There was only one of the 12 that translated their own talk (I can`t remember who...)
The conference talks were all so good! I think my favorites were Uchtdorf on Gratitude, Monson on Love, Holland on defending the faith, and Bednar on spiritual traction. Those four are my favorite speakers. I also really liked the Restoration talk by Cabridge it was really good especially to show that even me as a missionary, may not realize the full power and special event that it was even when I preach it every day. Also pte Eyring on Kindness was really good... They all were really good, haha I even thought that the 70`s did a really good job when usually I find theirs a little less interesting.
At conference it was really cool because I got to see the Junco family (last converts) and some members from Fontana. We are still in the same stake so they were there! The Junco family gave me some pastaflora(sweets) and a thing of cologne, haha It was super nice of them! They are awesome! also the Barrios want to come to our ward and bring me and my comp lunch! We are also excited about that!

There is a guy in our ward that is specially challenged and his name is Pablo. I didn`t know about him the first week that I came and he walked up to me and started to strangle me, haha he does that all the time. It is funny to watch it happen. He also snores really loud during sacrament meeting. During conference he likes to walk into the English room and spin in a circle then leave, it was funny. I wanted him to start choking someone because it is funny, haha
I get along really good with my new companion. We may not have a ton of success but we have fun and that helps us to keep our animo up. We often joke about the funny things the other elders do that live next to us and every night we do some sort of pavada like play card games or something to make the day more fun!
 This area is slow, haha We are really close to the center of Resistencia. But since it is soo poor only half our area has paved roads. More towards centro there are nicer houses and stuff but the other direction has poor people with crappier houses. It is funny to see the transition as you walk. We have pretty much the whole cross section of Chaco within our area. 
Love you guys!
