Week 91!

hey hey hey!!!

thanks for the emails and everything that you've sent me! i've bee quite well this week but quite busy as well.  so on wednesday we had Zone Conference in Paysandù.  it was super weird going back to Paysandù because it's been like a year and a half almost since i've been there.  it was super cool to see the city but i didn't have time to visit anyone like converts or members that i visited before but it's all good.  i got to see quite a few elders that i've met before in other areas and so forth.  but yeah.  so we had to travel from fray bentos to mercedes at 5 in the morning then from mercedes to paysandù at 6 in the morning and we got to Paysandù at 8 in the morning.  it was lots of fun and i learned a crap ton about sticking  with the basic thing and trying to stay focus on the small and simple things to help others come unto christ.  it was algo super good to have in the zone conference because there are a few missionaries that have had a big problem with that in our zone.  they're just tryiong to do too much and aren't focused on the smaller things.  so it was a really good refresher.  we also had an hermana leave from our zone this week for medical problems because she's got a bad hip and she hasn't been able to work for the past 4 weeks...  so she's heading home to Chile this week.  but this week we also had stake conference in mercedes this week and it was super cool because they asked us to participate in the stake chior so we had to go the the adult session and the temple president from Montevideo came to talk to us.  he talked about the simbolism of the temple and how everything is symbolic.  even the fences of the temple,  on the fences, doors, walls, and windows of the Uruguay Temple there is the same symbol... a circle inside of a square.  i thought that it was cool because i never thought about that symbolizing something.  he said that the quare symbolized the "4 corners of the earth" and that the circle represented "god or in the heavenly presence of god" so the interpretations of the circle inside of the sqaure is something that means "where the earth and heaven come together" i had never thought of that before!  i thought that was stinkin awesome!  but yeah so we'll see what happens because i forgot to tell you guys that three investigators went to church this week and one was a complete milagro because we didn't even intite him.  but he's gone to church before and he accepted a baptismal date for this sunday.  so we'll have to work with him lots.  but that's pretty much all that's happened this week.  so i love you all!!!!

have a great week

love,
