Carta Obesa 10 5 09

Tengo sueño siempre...(I am always tired) This has been a super sweet week with the conference that we just had, I never appreciated it so much before. The mission has changed my perspective on a lot of things. I´m greatful for this oppurtunity every day. I am not going to lie there has been many times were I was humbled.. here in the mision. It´s tough at times, but I know it´s something I can handle. We aren´t given tasks that we can´t handle.
In the conference, I hope all of you had the oppurtunity to listen, we had to take a huge van with a ton of other members to la estaca (the stake building), and we had to watch it upstairs in english (the conference), while a ton of people watched it downstairs (the members). The other elders that were with us (gringos) were sharing so much junk food. I can´t resist the fatty food they have here. I bought a box of 40 alfahores from a distrubuting building near our pench (The place we live) for 15 pesos, which is like 5 dollars in america. I am excercising everyday to prevent gaining weight. it´s seems to be working so far. I hope it doesn´t catch up lol.
In the conference I really enjoyed the talk given by the prophet about anger. "Änger doesn´t build anything, but it can destroy everything". I also loved when uchdworf said "We have every reason to love him, because he loved us first". and Eyrings talk when he mentioned that the blessings that we give, the priesthood holders, depend on the individual choices we make. It makes me realize how much more important it is that we stay worthly as priesthood holders always. It was a really good conference...
Well we didn´t get a chance to open the mouth much lately, sometimes I struggle with approaching people, but I am fighting it off... especially in the buses, I talk to the people sometimes, one of my goals is to announce something from the church to everyone in the bus and pass out cards, and talk to each one for a little bit. something like that.
Well I hope you all had a good week, I surely did, we are lacking investigadores but we are looking all over. From what we heard our area in lavalle is really hard, no one has baptised for a long time... here, Or found someone interested. There was disobediente elders in the our area too which doesn´t help.
Recently I took on a new goal that I am really trying to accomplish, never in my life had I felt the spirit of understanding so strong, when I was reading I felt really focused (The book of mormon during the ciestas), I didn´t know that 1 nephi 12 or 13 talked about christopher columbus (It says he is a gentile, someone that doesn´t know about the gospel). All of you should read it sometime (chapter 12 and 13 in 1 nephi)... By reading the book of mormon in Spanish and English side by side. I am only in like 1 Nephi chapter 12, but I am using all of my ciesta to read the book of mormon side by side. Spanish is starting to come, I told my president that I am ready for a native companion, that only speaks spanish. It´s what I want, I speak almost always in spanish to my companion, but sometimes I go back to english for a moment in our apartment. I want to speak it always with out temptataion. Take care everyone, I love you.
