hey family, pretty crazy this last week, we had lot of conferences and stuff. well today we did nothing, my comp has the flu or something, not sure. but he feels pretty bad. so we just stayed in the house all day. so i listened to music ate cookies and granola and buzzed my hair, it was really long. so now I'm off ot enlist in the Hitlers youth, ha ha jk. so as i was saying this week was full of conferences. we had a seventy of the area come talk to us about how to do things better, he teaches really well and it makes me excited to try some of his suggestions. so one of the conferences was just with the office elders. that was pretty nerve racking. he pretty much layed the hammer and said we have a lot of room to improve. which is true. especially with the schedule and leaving the office on time. then we had a zone conference with two other zones and he also spoke at that.

not to mention he spoke at stake conference. that was really interesting. he gave a great talk, more directed at the less active and inactive members. a lot of people here get offended easily and just for that the go inactive. so he said it straight up. "brothers we will all be offended at one point or be the one offending, we just need to forget and forgive, we want you to come back." it was pretty cool. he also talked about eternal marriage. he told all the young women to never marry outside of the temple because its a guaranteed divorce. as soon as you die you are separated. this is where it got very interesting. that was pretty much how he ended his talk. and as soon as he sat down this guy comes up and is like. "i respect the church and all but this man really offended me, me and my wife were married outside of the church and we are not going to et divorced!!" it was all ironic because he had just talked about not getting offended. then he sat back down, i think he just heard the part about divorce and stopped listening. well the only problem now is that he is the husband of a member in my area so we will probably have to teach him in the future. great!!

 that also reminds me of something that happened in my ward. one Sunday at church they were sustaining someone to be a counselor in the bishopric. well i guess it was all a surprise to everyone and hadn't informed anyone before church so during the sustaining the other counselor voted in contrary. it really threw me off. i had never seen it happen before. after the meeting i asked if he was OK and he said that he just didn't understand and he wasn't informed. the weird part is that he lives in the other ward but the stake assigned him to help out the priesthood in our ward. kinda weird right? but anyways. cool experience of the week,,,

 so we have been working with this inactive family, well they have 2 kids, one just turned 8 and the other is around 5. so the little 8 year old has a ton of interest. its been cool seeing his desires and knowledge grow. he has already read 60 pages in the BoM and he has a ton of questions you would expect to hear from an adult. i think he will be the key to reactivating his family. he tells us he wants to come to church and we picked him up once. but yeah i think there is alot of potential here.

 so this last Thursday was the year mark. to celebrate we made hot wings and i finally used that ranch sauce you sent me for my birthday, lol. it expired right on the 2nd. hahaha. it was still good. then while the wings were cooking i took and old shirt and drew on it. i forgot my camera but i send some pics soon. but i wrote on the back of it. on the left side in blue i wrote 1 año, then across the bottom i wrote SEEGRIST. the on the rest of it i wrote "Eat This Satan!!!" hahaha, then we had a fun ceremony and i attached it to the end of broom handle and then i took a can of insect repellent and i torched my shirt like a flamethrower. it was really awesome!! it all burnt in the matter of about 5 seconds and all that was lift was the collar, lol. in all a good week.

 so how are things going at home? its warming up nice down here. hope you are all jealous, its about time it warmed up. luckily the winter seemed to go by fast, we are just hitting up spring now but its starting to get really nice. hopefully it means more fun activities. so father your birthday is coming up here before next week. hope all goes well!! and you too chelsa! well i hope things are fun and delicious! remember, its never too late to send Jason lots of candy! lol talk to you next week
