(To dennis) wow that sounds like that would be very interesting being a financial clerk, i think we dont have those now because there are so many senior missionaries that they can take care of all of that. man getting to tour the mission would be great too! Man conference was great!!!! My favorite would either be Elder Oaks, or Elder Uchtdorfs during the Priesthood session. they were so great! There were so many good ones though so its hard to pick! ya im going to be going onto lds.org to watch them over again for the next while when i have time. we werent able to have any investigators with us because a lot of the members were out of town during conference, but we can show clips from lds.org with some of them and im sure they will love it! Ya there is a lot of questions that i had never thought of till i got out here, so tell zach to go on exchanges with the missionaries more so that he hears some of them! hahaha dad you know im a spanish elder... hahah jk english work is fun too, just not as fun haha. Well when i get home i will have to really visit them a lot. over 100? (I have no Idea what nic is talking about here fyi) nice! ya i didnt even hear that there was a new captain america movie coming out until yesterday! well a clean house is where the spirit can reside, at least thats what they tell us when they tell us to clean our apartments hahahaa.ya that is something really great that i took from conference, daily family scripture study and prayer with weekly family home evening will be such an added strength for every family! I love y'all tons and hope you are doing great!

(To Brittney) Im doing great!!! conference was amazing! well my favorite one would either be Elder Oaks, or Elder Uchtdorfs both during the Priesthood session, but hey you can watch them now hahaha. something that stood out to me was that we need to stand up for what we believe in, whether it be passively or boldly this world is getting worse and worse and we, as members of the church, are a light in the darkness and we can shine for the world! ya the talk about the truck was a good one, i have never thought of it in that way before. The funny thing is that i know exactly what he was talking about because i have helped haul plenty of loads of wood hahaha. Well i watched some at the church and some with a member family in their home, and the last one on Sunday I even watched in spanish, it was really good! We were planning on having some investigators there but they werent able to come sadly. That is something big that i have learned while out here, there is so much that we take advantage of growing up in the church, even growing up in the church in Utah adds to it. but that doesn't mean that we cant change and be super grateful now! So something that i took from conference as well is that it is super important to read and pray everyday! i hope you are doing that! egualmente hermana te quierto muchisimo!

Well tell everyone that i say hello and that i love them! well thats good that yall are getting some snow! i heard that not much has fallen this year. Im glad you all made it safe. holy cow mom you need to slow down you crazy driver! hahaha i would say let zach drive but i don't know what is scarier! hahaha does he have his license yet? well tell everyone happy birthday for me! ya being clear out here and seeing how far away everyone is makes you realize how much you love and miss them when you cant really talk to them much so i see what you are saying. well thats good that you told them that because you wouldn't be lying! Im so excited fore conference this weekend, it was the most amazing experience last conference and i cant wait to see what this one has in store for me! I love you all and hope you are all doing great!

well i have a really short time this week because we are using the library that only lets us have an hour so it will be short this week but. my companion and I have a surprise baptism this saturday! So the sisters who taught this super golden investigator are being transferred tomorrow and they are actually taking sisters out of our branch for a transfer because a lot of people have been getting their visas so there aren't that many sisters right now so we are taking over their area and we have a baptism this week. So I had a great surprise this week! well tell brandon congrats! (for getting a new car) and tell that bumb to write me back hahahaha im still waiting on his letter! well thats no good about your crash. (dad crashed on bike) i agree with mom you are going to killl youself one day! the work is going great and we are still teaching almost all of the people that we met! well love youi know exactly what you mean!!! right when i started to feel really comfortable in my last area and that I knew everyone and what to do, bam transfer. but hey i love it here and i got to meet a whole bunch of new people. Sister Bernhisel, our mission presidents wife, has a great quote that she loves using, "there is no comfort in the growth zone, and no growth in the comfort zone" its really true and i know that when we are content with where we are, thats when we get into trouble. Thats what satan wants, us to be okay with where we are and not progress. not like im trying to chastise you or anything ahhahah we have just been talking about that a lot recently because we had stake conference and they said that, so i thought i would share it. well i love you and hope you are doing really great!!!
