¡Hola Todos!
Today's the first day of a new transfer so I was at the bus terminal for a large portion of the day saying goodbye to a ton of missionaries and hello to a bunch of incoming missionaries! My district just had 2 leaving out of the 8 of us: 1 sister goes home tomorrow and one of the other elders is headed to Tucumán--Elder Grzelak and I are together for another transfer. The funniest part is that my old comp from Tucumán--Elder Bjorklund--is coming up to be the zone leader now! Go figure :P
Zone conference was nice this past week. Being Elder Grzelak's first, he loved it. There are lots of changes in the day-to-day things that we have to do now. I'm pretty sure these changes are worldwide: officially, we are in charge of teaching new converts the new-convert lessons that they must receive (because the members aren't really teaching them), we must invite the head-of-household before teaching a 2nd time or we don't teach, and we can only take an investigator to church one time during their progress. These are hard, but good changes in protocol and will help out in the long-run.
General Conference went well this weekend. For those that don't know, we watch conference live down here, but for the missionaries from the US, and any others that understand English, there was a tv set up in English for us. It was interesting to see lots of talks on prophets, family strength, raising youth, personal spiritual development, and lots of other wonderful topics. The biggest talk that stands out to me was President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk on bringing down your stress and busy-ness levels. There were plenty of other good ones though, so definitely check them out if you didn't see any of it.
On the flip-side, we're actually getting a little stressed out because the contract for our apartment is ending soon and we need to find another to rent! It's getting tough though because no one is renting anything in the two areas that we are in! Hopefully we'll find something soon!
Well, I love you all! Hope things are going well as you are passing your first month in school/another month more in work :P
