The Perfect Combination

Oh what an awesome week. I can´t tell you how much I loved Conference this weekend, and boy did I need it! Not only for the messages, but to be able to understand people for the first time in four months! lol. I listened to every word... and I can´t tell you how much I missed american sarcasm. lol. I loved all the talks. I always love listening to the speakers. President Monson´s talk about the temples... man you should have heard us. When he anounced that the Provo Tabernacle was going to become a temple... shocked! Just saying.. I suspect it´s not going to be a big temple, because there isn´t that much room on the property, but I´m so excited for it none-the-less. And, when he anounced all the awesome places and then, Star Valley, Wyoming, we all laughed- but there was silence from all of the other people, because they didn´t know where
Wyoming was. It was pretty funny. I´m super stoked about all the Temples. And I can´t wait to finally attend one again after my mission. We have a Temple about two hours from here, in Asuncion Paraguay, but we are not able to visit it, unfortunately. So, the next time I go to the Temple will be in the states. I loved all the bajar la caña talks. lol :) Those were pretty funny. All around, an awesome Conference.

Found out this week that we have seven people that need to be married in order for them to be baptized. One, we are waiting for the papers and the rest don´t want to be married, so unfortunately, we have to drop them... it stinks, but we are hoping that they figure out sometime soon how important it is to be sealed as a family.

It got HOT this week... So Hot. I can´t even tell you how much I sweat. I have to keep a handkerchief in my hand all day. It cooled down a little bit because we had another rain storm, but it´s becoming hot again.

My birthday so far has consisted of Hermana Medero singing happy birthday to me in broken English and kind of on tune. :) but that´s about it. I´ll send pictures next week. The Hermana´s de paque are coming over to our apartment to have lunch for my birthday. But another day on the mission. Nothing too exciting. I´ll try to do something fun, but our p-day normally consist of email, store, clean the appartment, clean our clothes (which takes a long time.. ask Kim), and sleep (if we are lucky). So, I´m hoping for sleep as my birthday present, since we won´t receive a p-day next week because it´s a holiday. You´ll receive an email from me on Tuesday, which gives all of you one extra day (*cough* *cough* Kyle, Blaine).

I love you all with all of my heart. I´m understanding more of the language, but still missing the important parts. I´m hoping to follow the words of the Prophets and open my mouth more. We´ll see how that goes. Trust the lord with all your heart. Mom, Dad, be safe in Washington and don´t electrocute yourself. :D Good luck!
