#17


Hey!  Oh man this week was a rollercoaster!
So Hermana Crockett left for Murcia, that was a lot harder than I thought it´d be.  I cried a lot, ha, it was bad, I would randomly just start crying, sometimes in front of members..then I would just try to say it´s because I´m happy for all the people there that get to be taught by her!  She is great, I´m grateful I had her as my trainer, she is an awesome missionary and I learned a lot from her! 
And also the Elders left, oh my I cried then, too!  They all just probably think I´m the biggest baby but man, having Hermana Crockett and Elder Vosters leave in the same week was rough!  I haven´t been out in the field without them, but it´ll all work out.
AND AHHHHHHHHHH GENERAL CONFERENCE OH MY OH MY OH MY.  It was unbelieveable!  Hermana Andrew and I watched it in the church office in English, what a blessing!  I just needed conference so badly.  I learned a ton and wow, what a great way it was to spend the weekend! Yesterday we watched like 8 hours worth, we were at the church all day!  And it was so nice to watch the Saturday morning, Sunday morning andSunday afternoon sessions live!  It made me feel so connected with and home and it was super special..while watching the womens conference I just sat there and cried, ha, it was pretty pathetic.  All I could think of was my baby sister, Anni.  When they asked the girls 8-11 to stand and sing teach me to walk in the light, I just thought about her and what an amazing family I have had the opportunity to be with.
But yeah! So we got to watch all the sessions of conference, and got permission from Presidente Deere to watch the Saturday afternoon session live!  So we watched it from10pm-12am.  It was so amazing! After the Elders called a taxi for us! We were fine with walking home, but they were too nervous about us taking the thirty minute walk home that late with crazy drunk Spaniards roaming the streets! Ha, which is funny cuz when the taxi dropped us off right outside our piso there was a drunk guy close to our door and he started talking to us all creepy like and just stood there and stared at us while we tried to unlock the door to our building! Ha, it was pretty awkward but funny.
But yeah, ah, conference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just loved it so much.  Hermana Andrew and I have a bit of an obsession over Elder Holland, ha, so when he was called to speak on first we pretty much freaked out! Oh my, his talks are always so powerful and amazing, after his talk we were just like, ´´okay I guess we can just leave now..´´ obviously kidding.  Ha, and good thing too because there were so many amazing talks! I especially liked when President Eyring said, ´´If you let Christ be the leader of your family things will work out.´´ Also President Uchtdorf saying that we should see gratefulness as a way of life, independent of our current situation. Oh man. And i loved so much. 
Ha, oh man.  Well out of time.  But I love this gospel.  I love that we have a living prophet.  I love general conference.  Oh man, Saturday was the best! We watched the Womens conference, and took Noelia with us cuz her mom had to work, (noelia who got baptized in February) then we went home for Medio Día and watched my favorite, the Joseph Smith movie, then went and visited an investigator and then Sunday morning session! Ah...general conference mission life is just the best.
Welp, until next week!

Love, Hermana Miller
