Hey family this was a really good week. Wow did it just fly by, it feels like i was writting you just just yesterday. Time is such a weird thing in the mission it seems to pass so slow yet it flys by so so fast. I look back at the time i have been in chile and it seems like i just got here and i dont know anything, where i am, what i am doing and even less spanish. But it is incredible to see how much i have grown. And it is fun to see that i can speak spanish. It is weird to think that i can speak a different language just by opening my mouth.
Yesterday we got into this house and we started talking to this lady that lives in arizona and is just visiting here. It was kinda trunky but we talked about arizona and utah. She has lived there for 25 years so she knows utah very well. It was just fun cause as we were talking we would talk in english and then all the sudden we would switch and start talking in spanish without even thinking about it. I know that the gift of tongues exists. I am so grateful to God for all the gifts that he has given me to be able to help His children.
Well the conference was incredible, i loved it so much. As you guys know they anounced a temple in conception chile. We were so excited when we heard that. It is going to be so awesome for the people here. Many faithful members have to drive very long distances to get here to santiago to go to the temple and so it will be a huge blessing for the people down south. The missionary work down there is just exploding so it will be a awesome way to help the work move foreward.
So there were a bunch of talks that i loved in confernce. As it always is, elder hollands talk was again my favorite. He just says what he knows and bares strong testimony of it. I love the way he talks and the power i feel when i hear him. Also i loved elder scott, elder erying, elder callisters (awesome powerful talk), elder ballard in priesthood session, elder uchtdorf, and elder chistoffersons. They were just awesome and i felt the spirit so strong. I have come to love and cherish and treasure the conference on the mission. It is so incredible to listen to the prophet and the lords other servants bear wittness of Him. I hope you can all take what you learned and apply it in your lives or the conference was all in vain. I made a list of my favorite quotes in conference and i want to share them with you all to refresh your memory. Hope you like them

Sorry for going on with all thoes quotes but i loved them i want you guys to remember them. They are so awesome and so true. These men are of God and no one who really listens to them can deny it. That last quote by elder Zeballos is the dad of one of my comps that i had in the mission, elder Zeballos haha. It was fun to listen to him.
Well it is good to hear from you all. I am glad you are doing well. I am doing well also, just working and trying to help the people of chile. I love you all tons and i love this gospel. It really is the only thing that can bring us true happiness. Keep on working and God will bless you. I know this church is true. I know God loves us and that He gave us His only begotton son. I love Jesus Christ so much. He is my Lord and Savior. He died for me personally and for every one of you. He just wants us to be happy and we will as we lose the natural man and accept His will. Have a awesome week.
Love
Elder hall
