April 9

Papa Bear!!! ¡¡Estoy muy bien!! haha All the computers here have tons of languages on them...anyways... Gosh. I feel like I have learned more here in 6 weeks than I did in all the years that I took Spanish. Es muy loco!!

SOO...I got my travel plans this past week!! I have to be at the travel office at 3 a.m. on Monday morning, and then my flight is at 6. I have a short layover and change planes in Dallas, and then I should arrive in Houston at around 12 30. I´m going to buy a phone card here so that I can just call you guys from the airport sometime...Be ready :-) haha It'll probably be in the morning though. But I'm not sure...

Conference was absolutely amazing!! It's so cool being a missionary and watching conference. It's cool because I have investigators, and there were so many things that I could pull out that would apply to them specifically. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think I have to go with President Uchtdorf's talk on Sunday morning. It brought me so much peace and comfort, and I am so grateful for that. I also really liked Elder Kapishka(? sp) talk about how the only acceptance we need is Heavenly Father's. So awesome. And of course Elder Holland's talk. Apparenly Elder Holland is in one of the Elders in my district ward in Midway. Oh, and did you watch the thing inbetween sessions on Sunday (?) About the MTC and missionaries? If you did, the guy who had 3 little brothers from Sandy, he's in my district, and he's one of our zone leaders :-) haha

I feel so blessed to be here right now. The Lord truly is hastening his work, and I am so excited to be part of it!

I can't wait to see some pictures of the house!! Please send some :-) haha

So, I was looking for Arena on Wednesday, and couldn't find her anywhere, then finally on thursday morning she found me at breakfast!! I missed her so very much. Pretty sure everyone in the cafeteria were like who are those crazy girls screaming at the top of their lungs...haha But it was so awesome to be able to see her again. I see her every day because we have meals at the same time and her classroom is in the same building as me. She's apparently having some issues with her companion however...her comp isn't fully convinced that she should be here, and so she's constantly going to the bathroom to sob her eyes out, or looking for ways that she can go home, or whatever. So keep her in your prayers that everything will work out okay :-)

As far as my plaque scripture goes, I would like Alma 26:12 on there :-) I have found more than ever that that scripture is so true. Love it!!

Anyways...so little time, and so much to do!!

Love you forever :-)
