hi family, 
   Yesterday we had stake conference.  We went to Managua.  One of our recent converts told us that she had received many answers to some questions she had had.  Questions about why some things hadn´´t worked out in her life like she felt God had promised.  And she said that she realized that it´s because she hasn´t been responding to the promptings of the Holy Ghost or keeping the commandments completely.  She said that she has to fast more and that she has to keep the sabbath day holy and that she always has to pay her tithing.  And that was awesome to hear because she really has a humble heart.  The conference was great We got instructed that we shouldn´t say "everyone shut your little eyes" and "let us pray", when we go up to the pulpit to pray.  That was probably my favorite part.  No, seriously it was really good because they talked about how the Nicaraguan members will never get out of poverty until they keep the sabbath day holy.   
President Monestel talked about how we need to be like Amulek.  He shared the story of how Alma preached to the people with the help of Amulek. He talked about how Amulek was probably a less active.  He also talked about how Zeezrom preached the gospel and how King Lamoni preached too.  It was cool because a lukewarm church member, a wicked lawyer, and a wealthy king all changed and started to share the gospel.  People were amazed when they listened to Amulek because there was a second witness to all the words of Alma.  
   We found out that one of investigators actually DID show up to church one of those weeks when we thought we had no investigators.  He said, yeah I sat next to Don Victor.  And then we talked to Victor (Hno Narvaez) and he was like, it´s true he did sit next to me.  So that was cool.  
  We also went to El Eden and it is so beautiful there.  It´s up in the mountains.  SO BEAUTIFUL.  And everyone we met was outrageously nice.  We met someone the elders had been teaching before and he just said, welcome to my house over and over.  We read Alma 7 with him and he really liked it because he had been confused if we based our faith in Joseph Smith or Jesus Christ so he really liked what we shared.   He has gone to church twice.  He´s a cool guy.  His name is Melquiz. 
   Hey Dale!  Thanks for the letter.  I´m glad that you´re up there in Gillette, and I wish I could visit with you!  Tell Andrew that I say hi and that the mission is the best thing that I´ve chosen to do in my life.  Love you!  I hope you are doing great!   
  Mom, thanks for the letter.  It sounds like you´re doing fabulous.  I love you! 
  Dad, don´t get too crazy up there in Gillette and all over the place.  I love you!
  Dani, thanks for the letter, that´s great that Doug got a job offer.
