A Sista Serving: Rivadavia Week 8: General Conference Weekend!!

Wow what a week........... Haha let's start out with the best stuff first. So we got back to the pench and I was laying in my bed that night. Well my comp was showering and I kept hearing noises so I look down and there was like an inch of water on the floor.. .....And it was grey. Wow it was so terrible it was just water coming out of all of our drains. So I yell, "HERMANA HAY MUCHO AGUA," and she runs out of the shower and it was actually pretty funny. We just swept all the water outside and it took us about an hour. So we get done and we are just laughing. And we are getting in bed and we are hearing water dripping...... So we go in the bathrooom and the toilet is overflowing........... With sewage! Yes that was my breaking point. I was done! So we start cleaning up again and I look at my comp and I just had to laugh cause what else can I do? Haha so we laid in bed that night and cried a little and laughed a lot. But other than that it was a really awesome week!

Conference in the Mission is so amazing. I LOVED it! Every talk was amazing, but for me, one of my most favorite parts was when the man who offered the opening prayer, prayed for the missionaries. And then he said, ¨bless their families and their grandparents." I just started crying cause everyone always blesses the missionaires but to have my family blessed was amazing!

Conference was hard cause I had to watch it in a dress. I was dying! I wanted my sweats! I was in the bathroom and 2 little girls came in. I went in the stall and then I heard one of the girls say, ¨There is a REAL missionary here in the bathroom with us.¨ It was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. I walked out and talked to them and they told me they loved me. A reminder of the kind of missionary I need to be!

I watched conference in a little church on this little TV. It was very humbling. The white kids watch it in ¨the Gringo room¨ and it was way fun cause we all bring American food and we get to hear it in English. I really loved this conference and learning so much! The thing I got most from it was Kindness. We need to preach the Gospel at all times and when nessacary we need to use words. The way we can do that is by kindness and service.

As we were leaving to get on the bus to come back home after conference, an Elder jumped on the bus and helped every person off. That right there is preaching the Gospel. That's ALL we have to do! We need to serve and to love. It was something so small but who knows the impact it had on the people and the people watching. With kindess comes respect. I learned from one of the talks we need to respect other Religions and people. They have a love and a faith also and we can preach to them the Gospel with love, kindess and service. We can bear our testimonies without words. And that's why the Gospel is SO great!!

I love you all and I hope everyone is doing great! Mom Happy Birthdayyyy!! I love you so so much. Grandpa, Kade and Jack Happy Birthday also!! Everyone have a great week and I will be praying for you all :)
