Yooooo!!!

So, I had a pretty good week this week! On Tuesday, I did an English fast, and I thought that it went really well! For the most part, I spoke Spanish all day, which is honestly kind of incredible! The work here is going really well, and we have a brother and sister that are set to get baptized within the next couple weeks, so that´s really exciting!

So for the hurricane, we´ve been hearing about it since Wednesday that there was a hurricane supposed to hit on Friday. Well, Friday was like the least rainy day we had this week, but during general conference at the end of the priesthood session, we were told that the hurricane changed directions, turned into a category 4, and was headed right for us, but nothing happened. Even last night we got a phone call from president saying that we needed to be prepared to evacuate if necessary, but nothing happened. I don´t know if anything will ever happen, haha. Sometimes something small will happen, like it´ll start drizzling a little, or the wind will blow, and we´ll pretend to freak out like: Oh! It´s the hurricane! But we haven´t actually felt any of its effects.

General Conference was amazing, and my comp is awesome, so he hooked it up in English for us! So I got a ton out of it! Probably the most I´ve ever paid attention to conference in my life! So I´d like to share a little of what I learned. One of my favorite talks was President Uchtdorf opening the conference with his message about the plan of salvation. I´ve been teaching about it a lot, so it´s begun to be a subject very near and dear to me. He said ¨It should fill us with unspeakable and profound joy to know of the plan of salvation¨ and then he gave the advice that if it doesn´t the solution to that is to study it more, and learn more about it. I am going to take that advice this week and strive to learn about and study the plan so that when I am teaching someone about that perfect plan, I can feel of the unspeakable and profound joy President Uchtdorf describes. 

Anyway, that´s it for this week! I´m ready for another week of being one of the Lord´s servants here in San Juan! Love you all!
