This week we had transfers! So it was a crazy couple days here in the office. We had to run at a 100mph for a couple days just to make sure it all went smoothly.
It actually did go pretty smoothly! I got to go out and work with two new elders that arrived on tuesday. We went out and contacted for a couple hours. I love that opportunity. Most of them say similar things, that it feels like a dream! It really was super weird at first when I got to San Pedro Sula! But man it has been a wild ride and a big blessing for me. They always ask ´´is it always this hot?´´ maaaan it wasn't even hot on tuesday! hahaha but I think I must have gotten used to it at some point because I don't feel like it's as hot as when I got here. 
We had conference this week. Conference is just so great. I was able to feel the spirit so much this past weekend. It was fantastic. I have a ton of notes and starred a couple talks. Now I just gotta get back to read them again. One part I really liked was the Seventy that talked about having ''Ambition for Christ''. I might write that on my watch or something, I really like the phrase.
Its kinda crazy to think that I will be completing my first year in the mission this week. WOAH! haha its so weird! But wow, I really love the mission. Is it hard? yes. Is it worth it? Yes. That is what my Bishop told me before I left. He said, ''Nobody said it would be easy, but they did say it would be worth it'' or something along those lines. It has been hard, but man those small moments where you just feel the spirit with you and you know that you are doing the right thing are what make it all worth it.
Weston has his weekly ''Wise Words from Wes'' so I guess I gotta do my Delights from Dallin (name suggestions welcomed). One thing that impressed me this week was counting our blessings. I literally thought about starting a book with all the blessings I could count. I thought about how I could easily fill up that book and much more. Its funny how we seem to forget about all that God has done for us sometimes, but man, he really has given us everything and will continue to do so as we go on. Especially if we follow him. If you're down, or having a rough day, count some blessings, name them one by one, and you will honestly feel happier. Thats a promise!
Over and out, love you guys.
