Conference Spiritual Boost Week

Zone Conference and Training
On Tuesday we had zone meeting. :) We learned how to get references
 from members and what to do after we eat at a members house. We also
learned new ways to contact on the street. They want us to start
inviting people to be baptized on a street contact! :) It surprised me
a little at first, but I know that the Lord has many ready to recieve
 the gospel and follow the example of Jesus Christ.
 
Right after we had divisions with the sister training leaders. I got
set up with one sister that is from Brazil. Sister Nigre... idk her
name exactly... something like that. But she was so nice. She talked
 soooooooooooo fast. The whole day I didnt even talk because she was
talking so fast and I couldnt get a word in. I really liked her
positive and upbeat energy. She was really good at conecting with
people and talking to people. I feel like I learned a lot. Sister
 Carrol went with a sister that is from Jacies area. She was really
nice too. She taught us a lot of fun and more interesting ways to teach
different things :)

Half Year Mark

The next day was our 6 month mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOO I did
 it!!! hahha :)! We went out for ice cream to celebrate :). I feel like
time has just zoomed by! I cant believe that I will be home in a year
from now. Its crazy to think about.

General Conference

 Did you love General conference?!!! Oh it was so amazing! It
 was the highlight of my week. I was looking forward to it all week
:). I was so happy when I saw President Monson, I got the chills. I
feel so blessed that we have a prophet to guide us today. I know that
they speak for God.

For General Conference we watched it in the basement of our church on

the computers. Everyone else was up stairs watching it in Portuguese.
We were able to watch all the sessions. That meant that we were able to
 stay out until 11:30 :) to finnish the sunday night session. :)

I cant decide on my favorite talk! I had so many. I loved President

Monsons talk. I think my favorite session was the Sunday morning
 session. Oh but they were all so good!! :)
 
Can you believe that there are 80,00 missionarys?! I am so happy to be
a missionary! :)

 

Bella and Castro

Bella is still doing great. I love her so much! :)! She is probably
one of the nicest ladies that I have ever met. She came to general
 conference on Saturday and Sunday :). She really enjoyed the talk that
 talked about the lady that recieved bread. She has had doubts
about tithing. Elder Bednars talk was perfect for her. She came out
after that and said that she would not be able to pay tithing because
she doesnt have the money. She said that she is weak from her cancer
 but still has to clean a ladys house for money and sometimes that isnt
even enough. After talking to her and after she watched that talk she
said that she would pay her tithing. She is also smokes but she
promised us that she would quit. She is excited for her baptism this
Saturday. Castro was at conference and he loved it. He was even taking notes :)!

 

On the Other Side

One day when we were door knocking a natural gas salesman walks up
to the door by us so we contacted him. After, he offered us a job.
 hahahhah! It was funny. He wanted us to sell natural gas. hahah :)
