Oops!

I hit 9 months and I felt a little rebelious. So I didn't just leave the mission. No, I left the country. (Only by a couple steps. No tenga pena.) And while I was at it I ate me some pupusas. May I just say those things are freaking delicious. Like people like them with loroco or chicharon but just give me that straight up cheese. It's the freaking best! 

Anyway that was me hitting my halfway mark. The rest of the week was pretty fab. We had a multi-zona conference and I saw a ton of my friends. It made me happy inside. I miss my friends sometimes. As for adventures I was given a rose out in the country among the cows, I taught my comp what a crepe was, and I saw many gorgeous views. May I just say that Guate is freaking beautiful. The city itself is fine. But outside in the country. Wow. I love it. It makes me happy. 

Anyway in way of things spiritual I would like to talk about something that really impressed me about the mutli-zona conference. We had Presidente Uceda of the 70 come and talk to us as a mission. This conference was probably one of my favorite ones yet. Tied with the one we had with President Cook. Pres. Uceda touched on many many many topics. Like 5-6 hours of topics. Literally. But I'm just going to talk about 1. Lucky you guys. This dear 70  spent a good hour talking about the importance of prayer. Now, I know we all know that prayer is important. Obvi. It's the way that we talk with God. But he talked about how we need to pray with such power and faith that every time we pray we need to be opening the heavens and really talk with God. We need to pray with the heart and not with the lips. And believe me I know it's hard. It's hard not to be repetitive and habitual in giving prayers. It's even harder as a missionary when we have to say a thousand prayers every day. But when we really try to make every single prayer genuine and from the heart, even if we say the same words, the prayers are so much more meaningful. We receive a lot more revelations and a lot more blessings. Anyway that was something that really hit me. I'm working on it and I hope you can all too. Work on saying more meaningful and heart felt prayers. And guess what then we'll be all the more blessed! Hallelujah! Who doesn't want that? 

Anyway I love you mucha! (mucha=people) Till next time!
