General Conference - October 5th

Today is P-day so we only went to the first session of Conference. My poor companion still doesn´t understand enough to be able to enjoy it that much but I could get everything! I especially loved Elder Uchtdorf´s talk. I don´t know exactly what it is in English but I loved the quote--Doubt your doubts before doubting your faith. I wish I had heard that a long time ago. It might have saved me a lot of worry haha.

Everything is pretty normal here in Ecuador. I still love the ward and my companion and my president and everyone. We had two birthdays yesterday--Sarah, President Dennis´s daughter, and Hermana Blas, my old companion. So there was lots of cake going around! And I smashed Hermana Blas´s face in her cake. It wasn´t as bad as when Hermana Sanchez put my facein my cake last year but it was pretty good. I kind of felt bad for doing it but it had to happen--Ecuadorian tradition.

Recently we´ve met some cool new people and I am so excited to be teaching them. There are a lot of families to be completed here in La Florida. Hermana Lyman and I have so much fun together. She is progressing quickly in Spanish but she still has so much to learn. We laugh a lot together though. I am so grateful to be her companion in this time.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful week. Be looking for that subtle blessings of the Lord in your lives every day. He loves us so much and it really is amazing and humbling the seamingly insignificant blessings that He grants us to show this love.

I love you all!!
