Well… this week was one fo rthe books. Conference was truly inspired! We also met tons of people and we had tons of miracles this week.
One of the things me and my comp did… was buy a journal for each investigador and less active we had invited. They got to write down their questions about the church and their life. Then during the conference we saw them write down all their notes and thoughts and things that they liked. One of the best feelings in the mission is to see someone on a bus, or in the park, reading the book of mormon or someone in the conference taking notes or someone eating dinner while reading the book of mormon. Especially when you brought that beautiful message to them. And because of the Spirit and faith to open our mouths and share this great gift of the gospel.
Conference was especially special. I loved Elder Alonso’s message. Love is action. Without action its like faith without works: Dead. I have learned that the 5 love languages are true and we need ot use them!

These have helped me reach out to more people and feel Love and Charity for them. Relationships are one of the things we will take with us into the next life. So the best idea is to build bridges and love everyone so we don’t have any resentment and have our progress and happiness delayed.
We also had transfers this week and different intercambios. Today on the bus though, we came back from some waterfalls and my comp was sitting next to the bus driver. There were a bunch of elders behind him and the bus driver kept giving my comp wet willys in his ear. Elder Prior was getting so mad at the elders behind him. Then he found out it was the bus driver. Pretty funny! I didnt know there was such a thing as a wet willy here though. I guess immaturity is a world wide language.
