Conference

Ola família,
I love General Conference! What was your favorite talk and why?
This week has been full of ups and downs.
The downs:
--My companion and I were told that we haven´t been working hard enough, because we haven´t had a baptism yet. That was sad because we are working our hardest but people kind of have to WANT to live the gospel.
--We were teaching this really really wonderful woman and we went over on Saturday to mark her to be batised but she said she can´t come anymoe because her husband is too Catholic to let her.
The ups:
--We had a lesson with this woman Maria who we met last week. We were teaching about the gospel of Christ. She said she would pray to confess her sins to God and ask forgiveness. Then when we talked about baptism, she said" I think my baptism was valid but... I think I´d like it to be MORE valid". We just said "God would like that as well".
--We met several people who met the elders 20 years ago. They have verse-less Book of Mormons and also remembered the name "Jospeh Smith". I guess those flip-charts were good for memory.
--We got McDonald´s and PIzza Hut (on different days)
--We got to watch a session of General Conference at the mission home! We also had a meal. There were about 18 missionaries there. It was fun. Also it was the first time I ahve walked on real carpet in a year.
The in-betweens:
--The elders had a baptism and he was too tall and he ended up having to repeat 4 times.
--I hit a year? I don´t know how I feel about that.
I really liked General Conference! Especially Elder Ballard´s about follow-up. So I´m goign to follow up with you if you are reading Preach My Gospel? Let me know how it goes :)
We had a bunch of meetings this week so not much else happened! I hope Emily had a great birthday :) and that you are all doing well.
Next general conference I´ll be sitting on our couch!
Love you all tons!
Com amor,
