time

Dear Family,

I am so pumped for this coming weekend. it is the superbowl for the missionaries.....thats right baby, its GENERAL CONFERENCE time!!!! So some funny things that have happened this week. My comp and i were waiting for the bus and some guy pulled over and drove us to Bariloche...so like 15 or 20 min. I got to talk to a guy in english from texas haha. Oh and funny story- we met this kid of like 16 years old who was kinda rude with us but its was all good. So we were at the bus stop and my comp heard him say to his friends that he was all taugh with us and had us running for the hills. I handed my bag to my comp and only said hold this and walked over to the guy. I went right up to him in front of his friends and said ¨hey hows it going. all is well. remember me, i passed by your house and you said we could come back another day a talk a little? hows school going?¨ He was shocked and was NOT mr tuff guy like he said to his friends. He said we could pass by another day but it was the funniest thing ever. My comp was like holy moley. In the church we had a competition of cakes. the yellow cake in the pic is mine. Youll get a kick out of this.....I made a cake of the gold plates jajaja. I had a lot of help from a sister in the church but yall wont beleive this....my cake won jaja. oh, and one lady did a cake that lookes liked a flower pot...it was CAKE BOSS legit. So general conf is this weekend and i want to invite all of you to watch it with a question in mind or many questions on paper. I know we are going to hear great things from men inspired from God. So talking about Gen Con, about 6 months ago I told you all about how i listend to a lot of it in spanish and could understand it all. Well, shortly after i heard a few of the talks in english and learned that i did not understand it all jaja. Especailly now that my spanish is flowing like crazy and i can understand so much more. But its a funny example of how sometimes we think we know it all. we think that we know how things are or how things should be when we dont. just like when laman and lemuel didnt understand the dream of there father lehi and when nefi asked them if they had prayed they said no because God does not talk with them. Another example is the wife of Lehi when she was sad because she thought her children had died in the wilderness. She thought she knew what happened but it wasnt what she thought. Its just another example of Heavenly Father knows better than we do. We will be happier and life will be less stressful if we except His plans and dont fight it. I love you all so much and hope that you have a great week. 

Con amor
