October 8th.

Ok, so first things first HOW AWESOME WAS CONFERENCE! En serio, so good. I loved the talk on how to be a better teacher of the Gospel, for obvious reasons. The people in our zone who were waiting for their visas are leaving Monday so things will be much less crowded.

So SURPRISE we got new roomates. Usually scheduling leaves a note on your door saying that you're getting new sisters so that you can clean and prepare their beds for them and stuff, but we did not get a note. Completely random story actually. One of the other Hermanas in our zone was sick and her companions had to stay with her in their room, but they needed to go get lunch so we switched off and my companions and I stayed with Hermana Pace. Well, Hermana Moss and Hermana Nakayama ran over to our room (it's just two doors down) to get some extra packing and cleaning in when all of the sudden they hear a knock on the door and it's new sisters looking to move in. Luckily they were there and could move stuff around for her (because when the other Hermanas left we spread out and took two closets each) I can't imagine how sad it would've been for the new Hermanas to come in if we weren't there. They're pretty cool. They're not in our zone so they don't have our schedule, we don't see them that much other than at night. One of them is from Orange and when she walked in she was like HEY! I know you! It was cool.

So when they say you get blessings from serving a mission, they're not kidding. Not that this is the main blessing I was looking for, but it's definitely cool. One of the other Hermanas on our floor I guess hears me singing all the time around the residence hall (yeah, I know, sorry) and came into our room the other night and basically said that she loved it and wanted to record me and send it to her family who owns a record company in California and a recording studio in St. George. SO AWESOME! Also, there's an Elder here, Elder Smith, who honestly has one of the most amazing voices I've heard. We ran into him thismorning and he told me to come find him after dinner and he'd play/sing with me for Hermana Gillum to record. Also one of my teacher's Dad was in charge of production for all of the church movies and one of my companions worked for BYU broadcasting. Coincidence? I think not.

I really miss the district that just left on Monday, our old roomates were in that district and some of our very favorite Elders. I miss them, but I know they are doing great things in Argentina!

So I can't even remember all of the funny things that happened this week, but there were many. Let's just say we were taught a first lesson and the main point of the lesson was that we should come to church because there are guapo hombres there, and another one where we were talking about the Apostacy/Restoration and Hermana Nakayama said something to the effect of "I look out the window and what did I see? Churches popping up everywhere!" Maybe you had to be there. Also, a lady came up to us and very sweetly said "Oh! Sisters! Where are you going?" Both of my companions, because they are smart, said "Osorno, Chile" while I replied "Uh, to our room?" Yeah. Awesome.

Well I only have a few minutes left, but I love you! Keep those dearelders coming!

Also, Scott: I have letters for Adam Calderon, Vince, Fran, Dan, Ryan, and Jacob, but I don't have their addresses! I know you're busy, but when you get around to it remind them to send me a dearelder or something with them. I might just send them to you to distribute.

Love you all!
