GENERAL CONFERENCE, THE SANTAIGO TEMPLE AND MEAT LOVERS PIZZA WITH CHEESY BITS!!

April 5, 2017

Hey mom!

This week things couldn't move that far along because of the Combatant Youth thing and also, General Conference. I don't have a ton to update you on with the investigators except in regards to Fransisca and Enrique! They were able to see the Saturday afternoon session of Conference and had a great experience! Fransisca, especially, was glued to the TV. We actually watched it in Carlos' house because he has a bunch of small kids and it was easier to not go to the stake center. Fransisca even mentioned she had a question about how the church views gays and she said the talk from Elder Holland (which was the bomb diggity, by the way) really helped answer her question! 
We're gonna teach them more about living prophets today and leave them a copy of the Living Christ and Proclamation to the Family. I'm really really hoping they'll continue to progress. 

Today, we had the awesome chance to go to the Temple!!! It was actually my first time in the Santiago Temple and it's A LOT smaller in person. I'd say it's pretty much like the Lubbock one. Afterward, we went to Pizza Hut and we got some meat lovers with Cheesy bits!!! 
That was also a really happy moment. 

In about a week I'll have a new companion because President basically told him he was leaving, so next week I"ll let you guys know who I'm with.

Another cool thing that happened was that Valentina Varas, the girl we helped reactivate in Las Americas, is thinking about going on a mission!!! She's been continuing super strong in the Church and even made all the missionaries there dope knit ties!!! Imma see if she'll make me one, because all the missionaries in the ward got one and they wore them to zone conference. They were wonderful! The only problem is, the Bishop there is being super lame from what I've heard. 

Anyway, that's the greater part of what happened this week.

Love you all. Have a good one!

-Elder Sierra
