TUESDAY: GOT THE COOLEST JERSEY from a member in our ward who designs stuff, and now the whole city wants it... haha. Picture below. Helped Antonia wash ALL of her dishes for her yogurt business. And even learned how to make homemade cheese. Nancy´s lesson was rough... as were learning through the grapevine that she has no desire to get married. At least right now. NO. MARRIAGE IS THE BEST... well I have no where to talk, but it`s certainly better than just living with your boyfriend. Set a baptismal date with Belen! And thanks to Carlitos to come with us, she is pretty solid with understanding and progressing! Made a balloon bouquet for a member who`s birthday was today and literally snuck into her house to the porch to hang it. She loved it (: Then a member who is 25 told us how at 3 AM she decided to serve a mission. I thought so much about when I decided to serve a mission as well. Similarly, a very clear as day answer, and it was the best feeling in the world. February 16,2015. Yes I still remember. Calling Dad at 9 AM saying I`m almost done with my papers. BEST FEELING EVER. DO IT. SERVE A MISSION.

WEDNESDAY: District meeting. Ice cream. More ice cream. Met up with Brandy who has now gained the confidence that we are like her best friends. AND SHE CAME TO YOUNG WOMENS. Which was great as we helped sell pies for their fundraiser for girls camp. Then talked with two members about the importance of missionary work and set up MANY future appointments with their family members to teach them about the gospel.

THURSDAY: Had breakfast with the new Young Womens president to talk about working with the youth to prepare to be more loving, including, and preparing for missions. Then had a GREAT missionary activity with the primary where they all dressed up like prophets and bore their testimonies. They even brought their nonmember friends. They are sincerely the best. They have no fear to share the gospel. No wonder the Lord said ¨Become even as little children¨ Because they are angels in this work.

FRIDAY: Had breakfast with some recent converts who have recently been so pumped to work with us and gave us the names of their family members to teach AND drove us their and literally said to them ¨These are my friends, the missionaries. Sit down, they have a message for you.¨Hermana Gonzales and I just ssaid DANGGGGGGG. And Maritza and her two daughters are now sincerely interested in the gospel! Had cake with little Josue who just turned 9! Super fun family. Update the area book by finding EVERY SINGLE ADDRESS we didnt have. Which was a lot. MISSIONARIES UPDATE YOUR AREA BOOKS BECAUSE ITS NOT FUN FINDING NO REGISTERS CORRECT. Had a great family night with Pedro and his nonmember family. Charades, bible stories on Jesus teaching men to become children, and then ended with al pastor tacos. Our favorite (:

SATURDAY: WE had a blessing. Juana, Ingrid´s mom, welcomed us to her house for breakfast and allowed us to watch on her big screen in the comfort of her home General Conference in ENGLISH. Which here? NEVER HAPPENS. Blessing blessing blessing. And WOW it was incredible. Eyring: choose to nourish the seed. SIster Durham: the Holy Ghost is our source of strength. Elder Hallstorm: KNOW you`re a child of God. Elder Stevenson: WHERE ARE THE KEYS? FIND THEM. Elder Duncan: Forgiveness... loved this one. Elder Snow: Humility... LOVED this one. Elder Redlund: REALIZE your blessings and be grateful for them, because if you separate yourself from the Lord, you won`t realize all the great things the Lord is giving you. Elder Rasbund: the importance of sustaining and the counsel of our leaders. Elder Andersen: invite ALL God´s children and theyll come RUNNING. Elder Arnold: GO TO THE RESCUE. Elder Mazzagardi: a fantastic testimony on the restoration. Elder Bednar: How we can always have a remission of our sins. Elder Ballard: FAMILY COUNCIL.

SUNDAY: Same blessing of watching General Conference. Our dear prophet, Thomas S. Monson: choices; where do you want to go? Sister Oscarson: Do you believe it or not? Elder Waddell: think of Christ even when ¨It´s hard for you to think about about Jesus¨. Elder Christofferson: Fathers. Elder Cook: See yourself in the temple. Elder Uchtdorf: He can rebuild us. Elder Hales: the Holy Ghost. Elder Gong: 6 ways to remember Him. Elder Kearon: We have found refuge in the gospel. Share it. Because Jesus was a refugee too. (LOVED this talk, great to see someone that my grandparents so closely worked with in their mission) Elder Oaks: Opposition. Elder Richards: serve in the temple. Elder Johnson: the testimony of resurrection. And ending it with tears, Jeffrey R. Holland gave an INCREDIBLE talk on how tomorrow should not be something that scares us, because we have the confidence that the Lord will do wonders tomorrow for us.

AGHHHH it was the best. IF any of these topic interest you, PLEASE visit lds.org to read or watch more. I love this gospel so much. I actually sincerely am sad that conference is already over. Have to wait another six months to hear and learn more, BUT the goos thing is that we have six months to study these messages and learn of ourselves what we need to apply and change to abide with this incredible advice we have received. I am so grateful that a year back this week I opened my mission call and was called to joing this incredible work here in Mexico. The mission is the best. Even if you have the slightest desire to serve, GO. It`s something that you can`t even imagine will bless your life.

Parody: That`s What You Get - Paramore.

LOVE YOU GUYS. Write me and let me know that you`re all still beautiful and living life to the fullest.

(yes, below is Hermana Gonzales and I pretending to be testigos de jehovah because everyone mistakes us for them)
