¡Pura Vida!: Conference Weekend!!

Well another great conference weekend come and gone. My last one in the mission.

We had some pretty cool experiences. The chapel where we meet doesn't have a satellite connection so we had to set it up for the members using the super week wi-fi connection. With the horrible lag that the video was having we didn't dare set up a second computer to also have it in English in another room. So what us wimpy assistants and secretaries who didn't want to watch it in Spanish did was we came back here to the office and set up our own personal conference-theater. It was pretty sweet. We got to eat a bunch of snacks, use the office couches, take our shoes off. It was great. And to be completely honest, I drank an entire 2.5 liter bottle of Pepsi all by myself... in one day. Don't worry; I repented after trying to sleep that veeery long night.

After all the sessions ended one of the families in our ward decided to honor my Texas-ness and grill us up some nice ribs. It wasn't exactly Texas-level but they were still sooooo good. This family is so awesome, the Solano family. We go to walk and wash their dogs every week.

Conference was so enriching and so enlightening. Heard so many things I needed to. It’s crazy to think that for the next conference I'll be watching it at home, but this was definitely a great way to watch my very last one here in Costa Rica.

Elder Vela and I are getting ready for changes week this next week. It's definitely the most insane week we have, it killed us last time. But we're pretty excited, nothing feels better in the mission than getting home after a hard day of work and just ploppin' down on your bed and falling asleep, hopefully you have enough energy to at least take off your tie.

I love love you all and hope you know how much God loves you.

Make it a great one!

Keep On Keepin' On...
