Well, i can hardly believe it this is my first change in the mission!!! guess where i am going??? haha, nowhere, i will be in san jose at least one more change and guess what?? i have a new companion...her name is Hermana Medina and she is from Paraguay!! i havent really gotten to know her yet, we just met at the bust station and are writing emails in montevideo before we go back to san jose!! well!! i can not beleive how Amazing the conference was!!! it was so great! all of the talks were amazing...i loved the talk by elder arnold, it way crazy, because just a few weeks ago he was here with us teaching us at our zone conference! and it was such a blessing to meet him and his wife! they have such amazing and active testimonies!! talk about people who live what they believe, they truly carry a great spirit about them....
ok, i wasnt nervous at all about this change until these last few moments!! but i know that me and hna medina will have some great times together and that i have much to learn from her. i can´t wait to see what difference we can make together with the investigators that we have...and now it is up to me to show her the area, i`m a little nervous about that...im sure we are going to get lost alot haha, but i`ve been there 12 weeks so i should be fine! well, seems like everything is going great at home!! . that last email i wrote i was way excited because i thought spring had arrived then it rained and stormed all week...haha we had to buy some really nasty looking and smelly rain boots, cuz thats all they had, its pretty funny you would laugh if you saw me wearing them, dont worry i`´ve got pictures...when it rains the streets turn into rivers, and i mean gushing ones!! haha the water doesnt stop.. well, conferenece really was amazing, i love our prophet and our leaders and i know that what they say is true, and that like they said the words of the living prophets are even more valuable than the words of deceased prophets! and how blessed we are to have a living prohet!!! i know that if we listen and apply there teachings we will be happy and we will have successful lives and accomplish everything that the Lord sees fit that we need to accompplish . i have to send pics in the next email, because i dont have my usb cord with me to put them on the computer...but i have some pretty good ones haha, the conference weekend...me and my companion and another set of sisters stayed the weekend in an area called Progreso, so that we didnt have to travel back and forth from our area every session of conference because the stake center is a few hours away...but anyways, it was interesting i will just say that...6 sister missionaries in a tiny old one bedroom apartment...haha, good times, and there were only two beds, so we didnt sleep to well on the floor, but we just looked at it as if we were camping haha, we might as well have been outside!
