Buenas!

Wow, general conference was incredible. I had to watch it in Spanish, because my companion doesn't speak English, so I'll admit that I didn't understand quite a bit, but I could just feel how powerful those talks were. And now I can't wait for the magazine to come out! I love general conference. It broke my heart to see President Monson so weak, but I'm so excited for the three new apostles we have. I just didn't want conference to end. For those of you who weren't able to see conference, you can watch or read the talks at conference.lds.org.

Our lovely Ramona is on fire. She went to all four sessions, plus the Women's session the week before. She brought a friend to the Saturday morning session, and afterwards she was saying "Wasn't that so great? Isn't everything here so organized and nice?" She's a great little missionary. Sunday night, we went to her house to talk about her baptism. Before conference, we had invited her to go to the conference with a question in mind, and she told us that maybe she could try to know whether or not she should get baptized November 7th, or if she should wait a little longer. So on Sunday, we planned to talk to her about her baptism and help her understand that she is prepared. When we arrived, she told us that she received a lot of revelation in conference, and that one of the talks helped her understand that she doesn't need to know everything to be baptized. She said she's seen a lot of changes in her life and she knows that this church is good. She shared her testimony with us and said that she knows this church is true. So we invited her to be baptized Octuber 17th. and she said yes. She's incredible.

The Aquino family went to conference! I can't believe it! We've been teaching them for over two months, and they always tell us they'll go to church, but every week they don't show up. We considered dropping them because they weren't progressing, but every time we go to their house, I just see the father Marino and I know that he's going to be a great church leader some day. So I didn't give up hope. And they came. Marino, Noris, and Mabel. All three of them. Noris has always been the one who was least interested, but after the conference she thanked us so much for inviting her. They loved it. I was so happy!

Have a great week!
