This week was awesome. Just sweet. Start off with saying we got the Ensigns babayyyy!!! Soo my favorite speaker (elder Uchtdorf) gave a killer talk/parable/story in the womens general conference where I invite everyone to read it! Its called "A summer with great aunt Rose" JUST AWESOME. part that stook (how do you spell stook?) out to me was this quote..

"NOW is part of eternity. IT doesnt only begin after we die! Faith and hope will open your eyes to the happiness that is placed before you"

Love that. Sometimes we think that the part of eternity will finally get there where we dont die and have perfect bodies and all that, and we will be just so happy but no hombre! NOW is part of eternity! I was like "oh ya. duh." hahah So we've got to learn to have joy here or how in the world are we going to have joy in the next life!? That's what I'm talking about Willis.

OKKKKKKKKKKKKK SO HIS NAME IS LEDRIN!! HES 37! HES FROM THE MESQUITIA. HE SPEAKS 5 LANGUAGES. AND IS GETTTING BAPTIZED ON CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST PERSONS I KNOW. SO HUMBLE SO AWESOME. I LOVE HIM! WE FOUND HIM DOING THAT ACTIVITY WITH THE YOUNG MEN IN THAT PICTURE THE OTHER DAY! ah man he's so awesome!
