We have had quite a bit of rain the past three days. Luckily, we also had conference. Yesterday we rode home from a session on our bikes in the rain. We were soaked and had to change our clothes before we left again. But how about General Conference? It recharged our spirits. I understood most of what was said. I think most of the translators were Mexican, much easier to understand. Elder Scott prerecords his talks in Spanish, so that was cool. We are very excited that Elder Bednar will be here on the 20th.

How about that announcement Saturday morning? There is going to be a surge of missionaries in this mission come next year. And we already have 200, more than half of which have less than one year in the mission. We are very excited. We have to let President know this week if the wards we’re in can handle two more missionaries. Sounds like John could be out in under a year. That´s pretty crazy. We were so, so excited. I am very excited for John, should he decide to leave earlier. The most important tools a missionary needs are 1. A testimony, 2. The Holy Ghost, and 3. The Book of Mormon.

Today while we were on a bus (the drivers are absolutely nuts!), a lady got mad at the driver and yelled at him and hit him with her purse 3 times. It was super funny, and yet we should've been scared for our lives.

This week was a little rough on us, but conference made us feel so much better. The spirit was so strong, and I received personal revelation through the Holy Ghost.

Sé que hay un profeta de Dios. Dios le habla y el profeta nos habla la palabra de Dios. Jesucristo restauró Su poder y autoridad, y llamó José Smith. Thomas S. Monson es el profeta de Dios hoy. Puedo sentirlo cuando habla. Compartan el evangelio con sus amigos!
