GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS AWESOME!

Hola a todos...


General Conference was awesome and thanks for the great emails and links.  Sadly I don`t have too much time to watch the links from your emails.  That is really cool what Spencer did for Dayton and it looked like they both had a lot of fun.

To answer the questions...

I have never had a companion that I haven`t gotten along with. 

As a zone leader I do get to go on exchanges with the office missionaries every once in a while, but we don`t do any work in the offices during the exchanges. 

We were talking about the piano lessons and we think we are going to wait a little on starting piano classes because we are still getting to know the huge area and don`t want to take anytime out of our schedule until we get to know all of the members and get to proselyte in all the areas. 

I don`t know why I have almost always been put into a whitewash area because they aren`t that common in the mission.  I just have been assigned by the Lord to do a whitewash mission so far, maybe there is still something I need to learn from a whitewash or something, I don`t know. 

We get lunch with the members every day here which is really nice (we don`t eat dinner with members, only lunch because lunch is the biggest meal here in Uruguay). 

We have a few great investigators that we are trying to help get baptized in April named Araseli, Maria and her daughter and Noelia and Ulyses.  Please keep them in your prayers especially Araseli because she has a baptismal date for the 16th of April.

I loved conference so much and got a lot out of it.  I especially liked the talks by Dallin H. Oaks about desires and action.  I made a goal for when I get a copy of the Ensign that I can underline and act upon every invitation and commandment that was given to us or reminded to us in this conference.  I know that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God and that he leads and guides Christ church by divine revelation in these latter days.  I love you all and hope that you all can act upon the promptings that you received in conference.  Great job Colin and Mason for making the effort to watch all 5 sessions of conference, that is way Awesome.  Let me know what you learned in your next email.

Love you all and I am praying for you everyday.

Love,
Elder Gardner
