Hey how is everyone doing, this week went pretty well. We had an amazing conference Saturday night, the rule was that if us missionaries didn’t have investigators we couldn’t go to the Saturday night session. The only reason that we went is for a miracle, We had somebody that said that they were going to go about a week in advanced so we were happy and content that we were going. During last week we passed by a few times but could never find her there. Saturday afternoon we pass by and her son comes out and tells us that she just went to do guard duty for seventy two hours at the jail so she wouldn’t be back for a couple of days. We were pretty down about that and headed back to the house. (it was during the lunch break) I made one phone call to someone that just popped into my mind that we weren’t even teaching at the time. To make a long story short she ended up telling us that she would go just before it started at seven o clock that night and we got there right before it started. The whole time we couldn’t believe that we were there, sure we could have gone anyway without investigators like some others did but we were honest, the lord blessed us and it turned into a good experience.

It was one of the best meetings I have ever been in. This meeting was for the two stakes joined together here but just for people eighteen years of age and above. First the two stake presidents gave little talks that went really well. Then we listened to Elder Bowen who is a seventy, Then we listened to Elder Spitale who is the brother of our President of the mission who is also a seventy. Then we listened to Elder Utchdorf for a long time. It was so amazing, he talked about so many things from the primary to the atonement. The spirit was so strong there, Elder Bowen at the end of his talk during his testimony he said the first vision and the spirit just waved over every person in the church. The Investigator (Liliana) had a lot of fun and liked it a lot. We are having a Family home evening with her tonight so we are excited. After the conference we went up to the front and we were talking to Elder Utchdorf in English and shaking his hand and everything, A man truly called of god. Then on Monday Our zone went to this really expensive place just to have breakfast because we heard that there was like an American breakfast with sausage and bacon and all so we went to go try it out. Yeah guess who we saw there, Elder Utchdorf. Breakfast with elder Utchdorf! He didn’t eat by us but he came over and talked to us for a second and was eating on the other side of the room. He was all dressed up like a normal guy, really the lord calls normal people but through their obedience he makes them powerful beyond belief. So that was a great experience to shake the hand of an apostle of god. I guess what happened is that there is a bishop in this stake that had a stroke so he is in the hospital unconscious, Elder Utchdorf and the others went there to give him a blessing. I guess everyone was feeling his presence their in the hospital and he was going wherever he wanted when they are usually really strict. We live right next to our stake president who was there at the time and he said that a guy went up to him and said that is a guy that is pretty high up in your church isn´t he, The Apostles are amazing!

Well I have got to get going but thank you for your letters and your love

Love you guys
