Buenos Dias Queridos Amigos!!

I hope that everything is going well on your side of the world!! To start off we have transfers this week. That is why I am emailing on Tuesday, but Elder Cooley and I are going to stay one more! So that is exciting, he will be my longest companion because we had one in the MTC and 3 transfers in the field, so a total of 6 months! But this week we didn't have to much going on, it was just a little bit of a crazy week running around and trying to see people. And helping some things out in our zone. 

But first Elder Cooley and I ran out of miles in our car, and so we had to walk, we used the good old shoe lace express to go everywhere this week. So we walked, and we walked, and we walked almost all day. It was pretty tiring I hadn't walked that much in a long time, but we did it. We got to talk to some nice people that hopefully we will be able to see some time. We also found some cool little pocket of Hispanics where we live so that was a blessing. But later on in the week it started to rain. And it kept raining all day, And everything started to flood, we went out side and the street in front of our apartment was completely full with water, we went out and walking in it, and it went to my knees in some parts, we also watched people trying to drive threw it but it was way to full with water. 

Also Conference was this week!! What an amazing experience we had to be able to he from the Prophet, and the Apostles!! I learned so much and there was so many thing that they talked about that we can all apply in our lives. I think that one of my favorite talks was from President Nelson, in the priesthood session. He talked about the priesthood and the power we have. It was super good and i learned a ton from it. Also Elder Holland, and Elder Bednar gave really good talks, as well as the other Apostles. I hope we really took to heart there teaching, and we will try to apply them in our own lives. And we will go back and read those talks because there was some much great information from them, we can always learn more!! But that is about it for my email this week.. its a little short, but i hope yall are doing well and being safe! Read your scriptures and do you prayers!!
