Ok this has been burning a hole in me to write home about these last two days.... is anyone else freaking out about the announcements of general conference???????? what??? that is so crazy!! girls can now serve at 19 and boys at 18. where was this rule when i was 18?? hahaha i was thinking the entire time of thomas, and also of a few HT girls i know who will probably be returning home from missions when i get home now haha... Im sure there was a few telefone calls made with some tears and freaking out. If im right i think i deserve a DearElder...
k so i have way too much to write and no time to do it. Pretty much the biggest news of my life is general conference. I dont know if its because im on my mission but 1. it was waaaayyyy to fast and 2. I think this was the best general conference i have ever heard. My heart was pounding the whole time. It was hard to focus on other people during the conference because i wanted to take notes the whole time. I love though, that the talks are recorded. I have found one of my favorite things to do while im waiting for my companion in the bathroom or during small moments of the day is read the conference talks in the liahona. wow... lo maximo!
oh and they are building a temple in arrekipa!!! ahhh
This weekend was one of the most stressful i think i have had in the mission (baptisms are by far the most worrying) because i wanted everyone to go to conference and hear the profet speak so we were running around all over the place trying to get people to attend. and praying the whole time that they would be able to feel the spirit. we will see what happens this week.
Good news!!! we have another baptism coming up. some times i wonder if i really do anything in this work because the people we baptize just want to be baptized and it doesnt seem like we do a whole lot, even though there are other people who we work with ton and pray for a ton and nothing happens. I think it goes to show 1. I have a lot more to learn 2. this is the LORD´s work not mine. and 3. this wonderfully-irratating thing called agency is still working its wonders haha.
sorry thats all i can write today.
Love you all,
siempre doble afuera, y continua a tener un sonrisa

This was actually the first of the four to be sent. The rest of the letters are in order.
