This week was really awesome mainly because of the conference we had on Wednesday, when Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles came to our mission. The entire mission came to one chapel in the Puerto for the conference and it was fun seeing all my former companions and all the friends I've made here in the mission. In fact, all the Elders who are outside of the Puerto came down to sleep over with the missionaries here in Puerto to be on time for the conference. So Elder Harouni and ELDER KIRKHAM, my companion before Elder Reyes, came down to sleep over in our house! That was super fun as well.

The conference itself was super awesome. Elder Bednar talked about how us members have bad habits that impede us from our potential. How we often want God to do everything so that we can stay in our comfort zone. We often pray for the sick that didn't make it to church that they can be there next week, but rarely do we go out and visit those who didn't come and help them get to church. Faith is a principle of action. This helped me think about if I'm doing my part or do I want God to do everything. He also mentioned that we overcomplicate things, if we are acting and if we are good, the revelation will come. It was a great conference.

Friday was also interesting because I had to go with my CCM buddies to immigration for something with our passports, I don't really know what we did, but it was fun. I got to talk with them for a little while waiting in line. It was great to catch up even more and see how they're doing.
