CONFERENCIA GENERAL!!!!  NO PUEDO ESPERAR!

There is so little time before general conference!  I can’t believe that the time is already coming again!  One year ago, I was in my oro area with my trainer.  Remember the photo I sent you of me watching it on the small TV screen in the technology closet? Ha-ha.  I am hoping that this year will be different.  We are 3 gringos in the house and 5 gringos in the whole zone.  They ha better set up a good English room. ;) Ha-ha.   Loved to hear that my sisters are so excited to do the fast from the world week. I remember those days so very vividly.  The opportunity that it gave me to feel a little bit like a missionary.  Now I live that life 24/7. ;)  And love it so much.  This week I have had the opportunity to exercise my priesthood many times, and it is just such and amazing feeling when you lay your hands upon another persons head and feel the change in your demeanor.  There is something that changes when you are acting as the voice of Jesus Christ.  As a missionary, I get to testify in His name daily and it is such a privilege!  I love the mission so much!!!  Keep us in your prayers for the month of April.  There was LOADS of opposition this month as far as baptisms goes, we had 7 planned yesterday, and every...Single...One fell through.  Ha-ha.  So we are hoping for better results this month!  My comp’s birthday is on the 15th, he is turning twenty... My mom’s birthday is on the 17th, no idea how old she is turning. ;)  I continue to tell everyone here in Uruguay that she is in her forties.  Ha-ha... Before I do, everyone thinks you are 20 and that you are my girlfriend. ;) Ha-ha.  I love to give them my photos and wait to see if they ask me "what’s your girlfriend’s name?"---"That’s my Mom."---"You’re Mother!!!  How old is she!!!!???"   Ha-ha.  Love it!  Every time! :)

Love you all so much!!!!  Go to the temple before and after General Conference!  I’m sure revelation is eminent!

Love,
