Post Conference letter

Conference was soooooo good! Oh how great is revelation from God for his people! Soo I watched two sessions in Spanish and 3 in English, wish I would have watched all of them in English but I didn´t know there was an
English room! Whoops! I could understand what were saying for the most part, but because I couldn´t understand everything, I missed a lot because I was concentrating on hearing what they were saying I couldn´t really apply it and learn from it, which is the most important part. But was have the liahona! So no worries! Just gives me incentive to continue to review the
talks and apply it for the next 6 months! I think this weekend had been my biggest shock on how fast time was going because I could remember the past conference and it felt like it was yesterday. In five days i´ll have been
serving for 4 months! Soo crazy, and sooo good! Dad you talked about how that guy you work with was an AP of his mission and how happy he says he was. And based on what his life seems like, he doesn´t sound happy. I don´t know him. But the first thing I thought was that he changed from always thinking and caring about others on his mission, that brought him soo much happiness, to always thinking and caring about himself. “If any man will come after me [He said], let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose hislife for my sake shall find it” (Matthew 16:24–25)
Possibly what he wants is more important than what others want, or for that matter what God wants. Obedience brings us happiness, any other way we think we have happiness is just counterfeited and temporary. I loved Elder Oaks
talk on this. I don´t know who said it but ¨every problem in a marriage is from a lack of Christlike attributes¨.
Getting our investigators to conference was one of our main goals these past two weeks. We ended up with 6 which are all progressing.

Oh man. We found the perfect family this week, right before conference. There is a kid that hangs out in the court yard of our apartment complex, named carlos, we started talking to him last week and then we had a couple appointments fall through this week so we went up to visit him. Oh man. Chevere. On the way up the elevator we started talking with the lady that was in it, whom happened to be his mom, told her we were going to visit carlos, and she invited us
into her house. Soo nice. Both his parents were there for the lesson. We started talking and his dad told us about how they ´ don't have a church because there is so many and the doctrine is different in every church. So they have a Bible study night with there family once a week. We started to watch the Restoration movie, and the mother started smiling in the middle of
it and said ´I have had that question many times before, which church is true?´, sooo good. Then after the dad told us about how he had the same dream three nights in a row, and how he saw Christ and he looked very similar to what was pictured in the film, with long hair and glorified. Soo great.

We then went to Priesthood session with the Carlos the son, and as we were leaving we ran into his dad, that had just been drinking with his friends, told us how much he wants to change and stop drinking and how he feels so
weak. The next day he him and his wife came to Conference, and he said he was very impacted by it. Soo pumped to talk with them tomorrow. Soo ready. I think one of the happiest, at peace moments I have had on my mission was
as we were walking to priesthood with three of our investigators. So so happy to watch them sacrifice there time to come and hear the prophet speak. Yohonny said after that he knows Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet. And
Carlos (18) and Ortwin (he is 13 and lives in our complex too, he came to 3 sessions and by the end was taking notes, so much better than I was doing at 13!) said they would like to serve missions. What a great week.

Oh man! And I forget to mention. We had the baptism and marriage of Nancy! So happy for her! Oh goodness, great week. And many more to come! Loved when E. Burton ? talked about missionary work and how the field has never
been riper. Loved that. Oh how great it is to leave conference just wanting to be your Best self. I pray that we can all implement those words into our lives.

Sad to hear about the earthquake in the pacific! I heard about how 24
members passed away in Philippines. May our hearts and prayers be with them.

Love you all so much!
