My best part of the week was conference!!

We were able to watched conference in our church this time which was awesome. Everyone watched it on the projector in the chapel while the gringos watched it in the family history room in English. My companion and I watched it in English except when it was a Spanish speaker then we switched it to the Spanish channel. We had two investigators that came to watch conference! We had Aylen who is César´s sister. Also we had Diosnel who has been saying that he was going to come to church for a few weeks now. It was really great that they came. We had a few others we were hoping that would come but they weren´t able to make it. Most people thought it was interesting that they are starting to allow general authorities to speak in their native language in conference. I still think that Christoffersen should have talked a little longer in Spanish, haha

It is really hard to pick which was my favorite talk from conference; I really liked all of them. One of my favorites though was by Uchtdorf when he was talking about asking the question, "is it I?” I think that one was during Priesthood session, I can`t remember. But he talked about how we should not say or think, oh this talk would be perfect for that person but we should think of the example of when Christ was at the last supper and told his apostles that one of them would betray him and they all ask, master is it I? I thought that that was a really good talk. 

My companion and I never have time to work in our own area which can be really frustrating.  Since my comp is the district leader we often have to go to Reconquista to do interviews or other things like that. Also we have a lot of meetings in Reconquista every week. The pantere (the bus that takes us there) takes 30 min to go there and another 30min to come back. So between our meetings, interviews, and protecting the investigators that we already have it is really hard to find time to find new ones.

The pictures in dropbox are Xiomara´s birthday pictures. That is the daughter of Sonia. They are the only active family in our area and we are always bringing them to lessons with us. We got her a triple combination for her birthday. They are only recent converts as of February and she still didn`t have one. They are really awesome especially for how new they are to the church. I lots of times forget that they are recent converts.

We will find out about transfers tomorrow night. My companion and I are really hoping that we both get to stay here. No matter what I hope I die here but I know that when you love an area it seems that God soon has other plans for you. We will see.

My favorite thing of the week was Conference!!! sí o sí! I loved it and it is kinda sad that it was the last one in the mish, but it´s ok this next time I will get to enjoy it with you guys!!

I love you guys very much and can´t wait to hear from you next week and skype the following!!!
