So I am on a little earlier today than normal and I will explain why in a sec but first.... If you loved General Conference raise your hand! (my hand is raised!)

Oh it was so good!!! I really loved every talk! The thing is, is that on the mission every talk applies to you because we are teaching these things and we have people that we are teaching that applies to it! I love general conference in the mission!!! I actually watched conference in Spanish!! I had the option to watch it in English but I figured that this is my last opportunity to listen to it in the mission so why not?? The cool thing was, I understood everything!!! It was cool! I sure have come a long way in my Spanish. I am still learning but I am super surprised of my progress!!! I really can't pick a favorite talk. I really liked Richard G Scott also I liked Boyd K Packer. They were all so good!!!

So as for an update on investigators. Y___________ is still going strong. She couldn't make it to general conference because her mom got really sick and stopped breathing... so she couldn't go. But she is reading the Book of Mormon and inviting her friends to our appointments with her! She is great. She is having a hard time accepting the authority but I think it will come in time as she prays. Her daughter wants to get baptized but first they need to go to church!.
And as for M___________ and O___________. We had a lesson with them this week and we talked about the gran apostacia. They really enjoyed it and understand it better. They said that they would go to general conference on Saturday. Well we waited for them and they never showed up. We called them the whole day and they never answered. Well Sunday after the first session we had lunch with a member and I felt the biggest impression to go find O________... well as my time as a missionary I have learned to act on promptings like this. I told Hermana Garibay that we need to go find him and she said that the next session starts in 30 min. I told her it doesn't matter, we need to go!  So we left. We called a taxi and left. The ride there Hermana Garibay didn't talk to me. I think she was a little mad but when we got there O___________ was doing nothing in his house and he was really excited that we had came because he said that he wanted to go but not alone! So we went with him and just as we sat down in the chapel the conference started!!!! It was so cool!!!! Just evidence that this is the Lord's work, not mine!

We had another investigator attend, V__________. She is the girlfriend of a member. She is interested in the gospel. We had a lesson with her before the session on Saturday and we talked to her about the plan of salvation. She had a lot of interest of the Resurrection because her dad died 5 years ago of a motor accident. Well she couldn't attend Saturday but went Sunday for all the sessions  and her favorite was D. Todd Christofferson! He talked about the Resurrection!

All in all we only had O________ and V__________ attend general conference but it was perfect for the both of them!

As for me, all of my answers were answered! I absolutely have no doubts that this is the true church and that God really does call prophets in these last days!!!!

Well I am having an adventure of adulthood here in Argentina! The apartment here in Cabildo is super, super tiny! There is no room for chairs for our study table in our room so we sit on our beds with the table between us and study there. Well Hermana Garibay and her last companion had been looking for another pension that would be better but never got it settled,  Well we got it settled now. All day today we have been packing all of the house and we are changing apartments!!!! We will have a room to sleep, and room to study and 2 extra rooms to do what ever we like! haha but not for long because President Levrino will send more hermanas to live with us in the future! This is why I am writing earlier. I am so excited!

It's hot here in Santiago but everyone says it is going to get cold here soon. And yes we are keeping really busy! We keep finding =people to teach! I really like this area, the only this is that the members are........ well..... flojos...... for example our bishop didn't go to the priesthood session... he stayed home and watched a soccer game.... haha but we are coming up with plans to get the members into shape! We will see how it goes ! I really like Hermana Garibay. Thankfully I have not had a companion that I have had a lot of difficulties with!

So glad to hear about the family! Can't wait to see everyone again! I really cant believe how fast the time is going! I feel like the time is slipping through my fingers and I don't know how to slow it down!!!! I have 5 months left..... that is NOTHING!!! I really cant believe it!

Glad to hear you guys are doing better!!!
CONNER good luck on your game tonight!! Be sure to tell me how it goes!
Dad I hope the job works out and that all goes well! I am serious if you need anything in Georgia, I got my peeps ;)
I am so glad that we had the opportunity to listen to the prophet this past weekend! It was so good! It is just evidence that God loves us so much.  He is trying to send us anything we need to know the path we need to walk! I know that Thomas S Monson is the prophet of the Lord y sé que este es su obra! no hay un otro iglesia verdadero! uhhhhhh.... just realized I totally typed in Spanish! hahahahahaha

Well pray you all are doing well!

Love you and miss you more!
Hermana Creason
