Hey fam!

Another week without emails... not too much to talk about today though.

We had a fun mission conference with Elder Bednar. He told us not to talk about it in our email to our parents though... haha there are stories he doesn't want on the internet. :P But it was really incredible... he was really open with us and didn't beat around the bush. At the conference were Elder Bednar, Elder Snow from the Presidency of the 70, Elder Bowen of the Area Presidency, and Elder Echegaray (or something like that) an Area Seventy. And their wives. It was great - they all had stuff to say. They had translators (they sounded Argentine) so I didn't have to be whispering in my comp's ear the whole time.

He talked a lot about action by faith and about teaching and learning by the Spirit (because we aren't teachers).

Ummm district is chugging along. We went down a bit in our numbers, but I hope that's from being at the Bednar conference. We've got some good plans this week as a zone to bring us back up. We also (finally) are going to have a district meeting - the last two weeks it has just been the zone leaders talking to the whole zone. So we are looking at better results this week. Vamos arriba.

Turns out that the Del Balle family (the less actives that are trying to drop smoking) are actually not members. We are going to see how they progress and put a marriage/baptism goal for Christmas as well. We'll see where the Spirit takes us.

It looks like we need to head to Deo this week with my comp - dentist appt. But it should be his last, we just need to put a crown on.

We are STILL waiting for reimbursements... they are a week and a half late. Elder Belleau is the only one with money because his parents sent him like $60. So he's paying for everything right now. I was forced to pull out money on Thursday to buy bus tickets for the Bednar Conference- I was expecting not to have to because the financers promised reimbursements before the Conference. So I'm literally waiting for $250 of reimbursements, and we are also getting our giro in a week or so, another $150. Finally, an opportunity to start a savings plan.

Sorry about all the fluff... not really much to report on after the long email last week. Good news is that there are American School pictures coming your way. These are from the high school. We are also going to their Thanksgiving party to close out their school year... that should be fun. The parents are also going to be there... reference party!

Well... love you guys. Hope to hear from you next week.
