I Love Conference!

First of all - Conference has been incredible! I had three questions/inquetudes and all three were answered in just the first two sessions! I need to think of more questions! hahaha

Elder Perry's talk really gave me some good advice for the future! Actually, looking at my notes, the entire Afternoon Session was perfect for what I have been thinking about lately :)

I'll try to write a bit later about Conference but I need to keep this short so I can pick up the stuff to make Pan de Plátano before the Priesthood Session (9-11pm!)

1. Did you get our "family" letter? could you figure out who wrote which part?
I got it yesterday :) And the first two paragraphs were hard, but I figured them all out :) And tell Trev I'll count it as his annual letter as long as he sends me another one in the first 10 days of next year haha
2. Did you get a package from Grammy recently? What was in it? Did you share?
I have not gotten any packages recently. Speaking of which, please remind everyone NOT to send me anything for Christmas. I'll be home two weeks after and it'll be much more exciting in-person :)

(PS from Daylon's Mom: Daylon is really stressed about going back to college. If you were planning on sending him a Christmas box (see his comment above), would you save the $40 to $65 in postage you would have spent and consider contributing it to his spring tuition instead as a Christmas surprise for him? I thought I would send him a copy of the tuition statement and put everyone's names on it that contributed as his Christmas present in Chile this year!!  I can take any contributions down to MCC at one time to make the payment, so just get with me if you're interested.)

3. Any adventures with Elder B and the gang this week? 
Umm...well, the van is about to blow a rod in the engine so we had to rent a car. Unfortunately Elder B is the only one (legally) who can drive it. It's a stick and the other day he said that sometimes he forgets it's not an automatic...we usually get going about 60 mph before he shifts into 2nd gear...thankfully on Monday we give it back and the Area Office is getting us a temp. A Toyota Corolla, but it's better than our current situation :P
4. Did you hear that Chase Bank was hacked?
I did not, but I'm glad everything is safe! It seems like more and more places are getting hacked, no? Thankfully it was just contact info! I need that money for all the real-life expenses I'll have when I get home :/ (Not looking forward to that part of being home, fyi)

Thankfully as the mission's financial secretary I don't have to worry about quarterly or semi annual or annual stuff. All I do it the CC report at the end of the cycle, rent every month, paying bills on almost 100 houses in the equivalent of four different counties (each with different procedures for different types of bills), and making sure missionaries have the money they need...speaking of that...I need to call Salt Lake on Monday...

Anyway, I'm gonna go buy stuff before Priesthood Session starts. Love you all!
