I loved conference! It is so crazy to watch it in a room full of
missionaries, its awesome to see how everyone reacts when people say
certain things. I really enjoyed the Priesthood session the most,
there seemed to be a lot of talks on 3 topics. Peace in the home,
Building on a sure foundation, and the Power of Priesthood. My
favorite talks were two from Priesthood session, Tad R. Callister or
Calister I cant remember and then President Uchtdorf's two talks as
well. It has been a great
last two weeks. It is insane that a week from now I will be leaving to
the actual field. Even though my Spanish isnt amazing, I feel
confident that I can do well when I get to the field. Not much new
stuff happened this week, it was a very mellow week because of
conference. I actually did my first solo español day with no English,
it was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have been doing that
with the BoM me and a close friend I have made here would read the
verses in Spanish and try to translate them into English. It gets
tough sometimes but I have had pretty good success in getting the
meaning of the scriptures. I hope everything is going good up there! I
cant say I miss the heat, the weather is pretty nice here. In about
half a month the rainy season is going to start though, so I am gonna
be wet all the time. Im excited, but also I think im going to start
not liking the rain.. I just today was able to buy envelopes so I will
be sending out the letters I have been saving, so letters will go out tonight. From what I have seen they take
about 2-3 weeks to get to people. Well not much more to talk about,
this week was basically just all Spanish classes and Conference. I did
get to watch it in English by the way. Oh ya and we got a group of 40
more nortes, so now there are a total of around 90 norte americanos in
the CCM with 100 or so latinos. It is crazy. Its weird to be in the
top group when it seems like just yesterday I was arriving here.  It is crazy green
and awesome here, we took a trip into town and the buildings look old
and rugged outside, but the insides are insane! I was not expecting
it. There are also many buildings with just carvings in the sides that
must have taken ages. It was really cool. I got pictures of
everything, maybe I can just send a memory card and then have you guys
send it back really quickly after downloading. Who knows, I will
figure it out someway. Well Love you guys and miss you. I hope you are
having an awesome time! See ya next week! (hopefully)
