Hey everyone!  Hope everyone is doing alright wherever you may be!  The mission is just awesome.  I love it so much.  I have learned so much already in the first 6 months and I look forward for more to come.  Conference was awesome and I got a lot out of it.

We were able to watch it in English for the gringos.  We set up a tv in another room in the chapel and we got it in English.  However, with the native Spanish speakers, we listened in Spanish because we don`t like translators.  We came to a conclusion that ``by my voice or by the voice of my SERVANTS, it is the same.`` NOT by the voice of the TRANSLATOR.  But the conference was awesome.  We also had several investigators come which was pretty cool!  One talk that I can distinctly remember and that I really liked was Dallin H. Oaks in the Saturday Morning session.  I could talk a lot about conference, but I`m sure you all saw it.  And if you didn`t, GO WATCH IT!

This week we had 2 really hard rain storms.  They were some of the hardest rainstorms I have ever seen.  We tried walking in boots and ponchos but even that didn`t keep the water out.  But one of the days I cut my hair and it just started pouring, so instead of getting in the shower to wash off the hair, I just went outside so our room didn`t get so dirty.  The rain is always fun.

In between 2 parts of our sector, Chapajal and Barrio Nuevo.  Right there is just all jungle and a river.

Today are changes and it looks like I will be staying in the jungle for another 6 weeks!  It will be good!  This change will be fun.  We have a lot of awesome people.  Gloria and Jhon Wayna are 2 of my favorite people right now.  I hope I get to see them be baptized this change!

The mission is really awesome.  Right now in the mission, I really wish I would have studied Preach My Gospel a little better before I came into the mission.  It really knows what it`s talking about and really helps.  It`s as close to scriptures as anything else.  

There is a new video that is out that is called, Because He Lives.  It`s a great video about the resurrection of Christ.  It`s also a good video to share with your friends...  Help out the missionaries wherever you are.  They need it.  I see missionary work as helping the members.  The missionaries pick up what the members aren`t doing, and here, that`s a lot.  Everyone has the responsibility to raise the warning voice (said someone in conference that I can`t remember), whether it`s to family or to friends, we need to all help out.  ``We are ALL enlisted till the conflict is o`er...``

Thanks everyone for all the support.  I love you all.  Have a good week!
