So hello from San Rafael! We just finished up with zone conference and it was absolutely amazing. I always leave feeling like a new person. Things I learn in these conferences I´ll take for all of my life. President is really teaching us how to be men, or women in the case for the Hermanas. He´s an amazing man, I´ll never take for granted every second I have to learn from him. The scary thing about the whole thing is that his wife Hna Lindahl is probably a better public speaker. She has everyone in the chapel with wet eyes every single time she speaks. Incredible! I won´t forget about telling you the story about the little girl, no worries! It´s all written down in my journal. We´ve actually had our heart ripped out this week with her situation. Her mom an inactive Catholic refuses to sign her papers for baptism and says her daughter can´t be baptised. So sad, I´ve shed some tears and spent a lot of time praying for her, satan is working. The sad thing is that the mom is never even home, she´s never seen how special of a spirit her daughter really has. I´m just praying for the opportunity to speak to her one time, i know that the spirit will testify to her. The opposition truly is working hard against us. We just have to keep fighting the good fight. With the Lord on our side, and working in his work we know that we´ll always come out on top, sooner or later. President and I have been talking alot about life after the mission, things I want to do and goals that I have here in the mission as well as out. I´m starting to prioritize and feel like I´m saving my own life out here. I´m loving every second of it as well. I believe my time with Elder Leal will be short, he´s a really great missionary and is ready to take his own area. Sadly, i am selfish and have absolutely loved having such a dedicated yet easy fun loving companion. It makes life so less complicated when your happy. I´ve made the decision to be happy no matter what happens to me here in the mission. Most days we feel battered and bruised mentally, but there is always that day that you find one of God´s elected people, and it makes it so worth it! I got my package today! Totally loved it. Anyways, the relief society president washes our clothes for us. The people that are well off have these ghetto washer things, but everything here is basically hang dried unless your a baller. I searched and searched for cameras, finding sadly that olympus cameras here are all over 1000 pesos. So i ended up buying a cheap Samsung for 700 pesos (the cheapest i could find). I´m not liking how the bank looks, it killed me to buy it. But thank you for it and I think you´ll enjoy the pictures just as I will. I´ll definitely send some next week! Love you all so much, take it easy. Stay safe and say your prayers!
