How was conference. I want a report from EVERYONE. (1) 1 thing they liked
and (2) 1 thing that slapped them in the face. I'll give you mine.
1. the story of the prophet setting the area on fire! ha! who would have
thought....
2. obedience is better than sacrifice. (I sacrifice time, friends, etc to
be here, but if I'm not obedient, what comes of it? nothing. nothing whatsoever.)
So this morning we had a very sad experience. One of the women we live
with found their duck dead in the back yard. yesterday I heard while I was
studying a lot of strange noises coming from Patín. I told them last night, but
they didn't check. we went out to do something... there he was dead. I
don't know if an animal got him or what. he just had blood coming from his
mouth. maybe it was a snake. poor poor Patín. This deformed flippered friend
was well loved. now we wait to see him one day in the Heavens.
My comp learned a few things this week like following
the spirit promptly. one night this week I felt like taking a bus instead of
walking home. she had a strong impression to contact 2 jovenes (youth) at the parada.
she got out her folletos (calendar) and starting putting los datos on the back. she was
finishing up the last bit when the 2 jovenes got into a taxi and sped away. oh
how she beat herself up so hard. but that's how the Lord works. he tests us,
we fail, we learn, we change, and we do it the next time he challenges us.
Conference was amazing. I started with 14 questions. over half of them
were answered or referred to in the first session! haha I love the way that the
Lord works. As I was listening I thought of the ability to reject and say that
these men are not witnesses, not apostles, that he is not a prophet. All I
could think was how I could never deny these men's testimonies. I could never
deny that Pres Monson is a prophet of God as Moses, Enos, Nephi, and Abraham
were.
We had some great days this week. We visited practically EVERYONE on Thursday and Friday to invite all in persona to the conference. I love saying
that we have the chance to listen to apostles and a prophet hoy en dia! It's so
great and we are so blest. We had a good week and worked hard and walked lots and talked to a ton of
people. Week after week flies by. I love this work.

So I was hang out at our landlord's salon and she told me to sit down. she proceeded
to die my hair! haha so I now have highlights. I like it. but now I look like
a fula. haha
ummm... so I had NO idea where cashews came from! the fruta is good too. we
make juice all the time. so we cooked up some fresh cashews! it was awesome.
maybe I'll sneak some home with me to cook up with you guys! haha it was so much
fun. This is where I cut down the huge lemon
tree. and this week he's going to teach me how to sharpen a machete.
They tasted soooo good.
