On Thursday we had interviews with president! So that was good to see president and talk to him a little bit! haha. And also my companion and I were the last ones to be interviewed, and all the interviews took a longgg time. So by the time we got finished up it was way late and there wasnt any time to get back to our sector in time for lunch. So we got to eat lunch in Presidents house! AND IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. We had like a taco/taco salad thing. It was fantastic haha. Some tortillas with chicken and beef and beans and lettuce and tomato. AND we had ranch dressing! That was the first time in over a year i ate ranch dressing. It was really really really good-tasting. hahaha. That was a highlight from the week.
And basically the other highlight from the week was general conference! Woo hoooo!!! It was wonderful! I really enjoy conference nowadays. Its a great way to feel the spirit and learn lots and whatnot. Two of my favorite talks were 1. by President Eyering about the good samaritan haha and 2. the talk by Edward Dube. I really liked those two talks alot!
So I really enjoyed conference and learning this weekend. Here in the mission everybody has to go to the stake center to see conference. So the whole stake meets up there, but they always have a tv set up in a different room so us gringos can watch conference in english instead of spanish! woo hoo! haha so thats a blessing. and we always buy a bunch of snacks to enjoy as well while we watch haha.
And the last highlight is that today we had a zone activity! And it was fun and successful. We all went out to eat together at "Mamut". Its basically just the chilean version of Applebees! So it was delicious. but so the catch was that we all had to bring photos of our families and friends or just recuerdos from home. So we brought that and passed them all around to look at and ask questions and just kind of get to know everyone better! So THAT was actually a really simple but fun activity. It was super interesting to see a little bit more of everyones background and what they were like before the mission! And i was super happy to show off my family :) we have 4 hermanas in our zone and they were of course dying over all the neices and nephews! :D I HAVE THE CUTEST NEICES AND NEPHEWS OF ALL TIME! And i miss them very much. Give them all huge hugs and kisses for me haha.
And those are basically the highlights of the week! I loved conference! What a blessing it is for us to be able to hear the words of prophets hoy en dìa. The church is true, the gospel is restored and is the only way to eternal life and exaltation! I love you all and miss you! Have an awesome week.
