Well another 6 months before the next General Conference!! Hope everyone was able to watch it and that you were able to get something out of it. I was able to see all of the Saturday Session, Sunday and the priesthood session. According to where the stake center is located here in Chinandega, we had to travel on the bus. So we hooked up a TV with an HDMI cable in the chapel here in Chihigalpa and we watched it here. It was a lot easier and the members loved it.

Also, just so everyone knows, I got a new comp. He comes from Kansas and loves it here. Elder S started his mission the same day as I did so we have the same time in Nicaragua.

So remember L and D? Well the other day we went over to their house to do some service. We dug 3 shallow wells so they could collect water easier. The water has a hard time getting to them due to the fact that they live kinda far away. Well we worked all day, got really burnt, but left there happy. We love this family so much and this week we actually helped them put a baptismal date for the 7 of June. It's kinda far away but they said that it's really possible that it will be sooner.

L was able to go the the priesthood session with us Saturday night and it was exactly what he needed to hear. Here are some quotes that I liked.

"Courage is needed—the courage to say 'No' when we should, the courage  to say 'Yes' when it is appropriate."

"As you pray for forgiveness you will find yourself forgiving others."

"Remember that of all the service you give, none is greater than to help  people choose to qualify for eternal life."

"Each of you will be a model of a priesthood man whether you want to be or not."

"When we choose heroes, we begin to copy, consciously or unconsciously, what we admire most in them."

"Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not an effort of once a week or once a day. It is an effort of once and for all."

I love conference and that chance that we get to hear from the prophets and apostles of the Lord. He guides us and we should hear His words. I pray everyone goes back and studies the talks of conference when they come out so we can do the things that the Lord needs us to do NOW in our lives, not later.

¡¡¡Les Amo MUCHO!!!
