Gotta Love Conference Weekend

Dear Familia De Mio
How are things going? How was conference for you guys? What were your favorite talks? I especially love the end line of Elder Holland... It´s getting late..  Love it!!!  All of us were like, WHAT A LINE! But it is true... it is getting late, how are you preparing? :) Conference was such a complicated mess here. Saturday, we got to the church an hour early, and waited, and waited, and waited a little bit more. Until about 12:45 (conference started here ate 1:00) when our Zone Leaders showed up with a member. So at this moment, 15 minutes until conferences started, and we had 4 missionaries, and 1 member and NOTHING set up. Well, skipping ahead 25 minutes (1:10), we finally had someone from the stake show up to set up the screen so that we could watch conference, and then after they set up the English for the missionaries. So we were unable to listen to President Monson´s opening talk. So, if he announced temples, I would be more then happy to hear. Hint.. :) But after that, everything ran smoothly. Sunday, we were told by the Stake President, that we (the missionaries) had to go to the institute building to hear Conference, cause there wasn´t enough room in the stake center. But, the problem was that we had investigators in the meeting. So, we were at the chapel until about 5 minutes after, and then we walked, 20 minutes, to the institute building, where we missed the talk from Elder Uchtdorf and half of the second. Oh, and all in fast speaking Spanish. So it was a little bit harder for me to take notes since I was trying to understand. Then we had to leave 20 minutes early to meet our investigators when they left the chapel. So, I missed the end of President Monson´s talk. What a day huh? :) But, all is well.

 I had an accident leaving the conference 20 minutes early. Photo attached. :)
I was coming down the stairs from the institute building, and hit the last step on the side of my bad ankle. So, I fell. and hurt my ankle. But not too bad. It just feels like it´s bruised. So I´m still walking and talking. :) The
Lord truly blessed me. I really didn´t even have a limp afterwards, which saved me from all the questions. Don´t Panic!
 I finally got the package. I´m more then happy. Now, I can only receive one more this year. Maybe for my birthday? :)  Thank you!
Sorry, I have to go. But I love you all so much. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Pray always, watch always, and smile ALWAYS. :)
 Love you, Hermana Erin Kaye Griffeth
