What's up in UTAH!!

Yeah, i was so confused when i saw the all the snow, how crazy is that.  We were not allowed to go to the Saturday sessions of conference, which i was super disappointed.  Priesthood sessions is by far the best, and i heard it was just killer.  Of what i saw and understood of Conference it was pretty smooth.  we had all our investigators at the mourning session, so we had to watch it in Spanish, not going to lie i didn't understand a lot of it.  but its always a good thing to put your investigators into the prophets hands. the lady we baptized yesterday absolutely loved it, she came up to us at the end and told us,"the prophet was beaming with light"  she kept telling us how different she felt when he was talking.  we found out right before the afternoon session that in the stake president's office they were playing the session in English.  I don't think I've ever been so out of my mind excited to watch conference in English.  It was soooo good, and way to short.  it was awesome to see elder de hoyos talk, because he came to our mission a couple of months ago.  But to be honest with you i could understand him better when he visited us and spoke in Spanish.  just like you mom i cant way to get the revista and read all of the other sessions.  I too have been thinking about the tremendous blessing we have to have a living prophet that leads and guides us.  this life is too hard to try and go through with out a prophet.  after the conference we were driving home and i was looking at all the people who had no idea what just happened.  A PROPHET OF GOD JUST SPOKE, and they had no idea.  What a great responsibility we have to bring this message to them and help the understand that there is more to this life. 

well, I hope all is well back in the states.  that is so crazy about the temple in meridian, what other temples were announced?  did they say anything about a Queretaro Temple?  this area is defiantly read.  I love you all so much and pray that you all are doing great.  Thanks for everything!!

Love you all,
