Visit to Lavalle

Hola family/friends,

This past conference was a different one. Elder Shane Bowen spoke for about 2 hours. He spoke about line of authority in the priesthood and about who we are. It was a really spiritual conference. I learned that he as a seventy doesn't have keys of the priesthood but that he works under the keys of the twelve apostles. He also asked us if we knew the juramento y el convenio...yeah I didn't understand that either until he said priesthood. It is the oath and covenant of the priesthood. I've studied it a few times now and I think that everyone that has the Melchezedek (give me a brake, I can hardly speak in english anymore thanks to my Spanish speaking companion) should probably do a quick little review on section 84:33-?.

My stomach was on a slight fritz during the conference and it wasn't fun to watch everyone eat real food while I sat with a banana and a sprite. I also received the package from the Vincent family. It was about time for that box to arrive. I received a box from my friend Kylie from Dearelder.com. It was full of all sorts of goodies. I am starting the American candy addiction for Elder Cavero. He is all ready hooked on phonics and the reese´s pieces. He'll probably end up coming to the states just for the sour patch kids.

Yesterday we had divisions with the zone leaders. I was with Elder Saldivar in his area. We had the fantastic Lavalle lunch appoimtent. There are about 35 members in Lavalle. It is a little town outside of Goya kinda like Glendale or Overton. The Calarco family lives there and has church in their house every Sunday. They are a funny family. The food was really tasty. It was like chili-mac from the mid-west. I only came to know of chili-mac as of yesterday when Hermana Byrhn said it to me when the food came out. Hermano Calarco is a little bit crazy. We jump from this tree with the swing beneath his feet. I have it on video and you can see it when I get home in a while. He let me try it too. I also met my first pineapple plant at the Calarco house. I never knew that they were red before they were brown. The bird's nest is just to show how excited Hermano Calarco gets when we come. He just wants to ? everything he has.

I saw one of the swallows the other day and I wasn't quite sure how to feel.

I´ll make sure to take pictures of the swallows when they arrive.

I love you all and hope to hear from you soon. Lots of love. Chau

P.s. I did see Hermana Peruch in the conference. She told me that she had 6 months left and wasn't sure how she felt. I let her know how I felt about that. Haha. It was fun to see her and another elder from the MTC.
