Familia,

Hey how is everything going? Wasn’t conference awesome this past weekend! We got to watch it in a separate room from everybody in english. We had to tape the priesthood session and watch it Sunday morning because the timing here would have been 9-11. But it was great we watched everything in English except for the talk of president Hinckley in the priesthood session we watched in spanish. So we were all pretty pleased with that. Its so confusing in spanish because it starts talking in english so you can hear it some of the time but then the translator comes in and starts talking so the hard thing is, is that I can understand both and I want to listen to the english because I know that it is his actual voice and then my head starts going crazy but it was awesome. There were so many good talks, They touched up on quite a few different topics really strong. That sessions in the old conference building was pretty interesting, kind of different but still good of course. President Hinckley seems like he is still going strong, has still got his great sense of humor too. Its so awesome knowing that we really have a prophet called of god today. After conference I was knocking doors in Olivarria and all I could think about was the conference and all I wanted to do at every door is testify of a living prophet today.

So we went fishing this past preparation day. It was pretty fun, the fishing was really old school. They were just like bamboo sticks wtih little hooks on the ends and we were fishing for these little tiny fish. It was really fun though I will send you some pictures about that.

So the big easter time is coming up this next week, they celebrate it here too its called pascua. The end half of this week is called holy week for all of the Catholics and I guess they don’t eat meat and stuff, but they celebrate it with an easter bunny too like us. Your gonna have to let me know what happened for yours. You guys can eat meat though I think that’s alright.

I finished the book of Mormon the other day, so I barely got through it in time of our invitation from our president with the three chapters a day and we would finish it in three months. So that was good I learned I ton this time reading it through, so many things just came to me and it was really easy to share with the members what I had been reading during lessons.

This week all of the missionaries are coming here to Azul to work for a day and the youth also from Olivarria are coming here to do divisions with every single missionary so that will be awesome and we will cover a lot of ground with that. So I have to get all that planned out with my companion for the end of this week. We are doing it on Friday, I hope the people are accepting especially this week with the big holy week thing people should be extra nice to us. But things are going pretty good here we are getting along well, I do pretty much all the talking in the roads and the lessons but its my companions first transfer and Its tough to speak to people. The other day we were in a lesson and I started it up and was teaching him then I started talking about the families and then I handed it over to him and he did a pretty good job with it. Then I kept teaching about prophets, Christ, and kept teaching to the point of the apostasy and Joseph Smith and I bore testimony that because of all of this we are in need of a restoration of the gospel and looked at my companion and his eyes got all big and looked up at me and shook his head side to side really fast. Luckfully the guy we were teaching was still listening to me and we continued. But I know what he is going through it wasn’t to long ago that I was in his position. We are having fun though. But thanks for the letters and I hope that everyone liked and listened to conference. Those men really can see things that we aren’t able to see.

Love you all

Elder Lott
