Ya, conference was great. we watched every session in english. The lady we were expecting to come had to watch a 1 and 1/2 year old, so she wouldnt travel out there. actually, i did profitize that it would be henry b eyring. He looks the smartest to me, so that was my guess. Before conference we went to a walgreens and picked up some goodies, so i was snaking well all thoughout the meetings.my streak is over. I got rained on for the first time this week. It wasnt so bad though. The back of my shirt got a little muddy from the bike though. Any hints on cleaning that would be helpful. We scrubbed them with water and then put some stain stuff on them. If you get to talk to alonso before he goes tell him that i think he is great. Hes going to be an awesome missionary. My comp is still struggling a little with spanish, but i dont blame him, spanish is hard. He had no spanish before the mission and was really not excited to have to learn it. He really just wanted to go to an english speaking mission. Complete opposite of what I wanted to do.I dont know how you can drink diet coke anyways, it tastes nasty. Regular coke is by far the way to go.I really still dont know many of the members. Most of the active members live in the area of rio grande. But there are a couple who are really nice to us. The owner of our apartment randomly gives us food almost everyother day. So thats nice to come home to. Its usually some variation of rice and beans. We kinda have a rule like Kory's, but less strict. We can only eat the same members house once a month. because there were areas that would have a dinner appointment every night of the week.
