Ok, so the news first. (It's like I'm a district leader or something).
So President just decided the have a conference in Trelew on Monday, May 8th. WHAT TRASH!!! He's taking OUR P-day, MY BIRTHDAY, and making us have a conference. Like just my luck. Bout to get the cane dropped on my birthday. Sounds fun...sike! So ya I'll be writing you guys Tuesday. Don't forget to send cool birthday wishes por favor.
I'm not sure how Skype is gonna play out on Mother's day. We have church until like 12:30 and I'm sure we will have to eat lunch at some time after. I think we'll be with the bishop in the afternoon from like 4 to whenever. It also happens to be "El Clasico" that day so it's actually perfect. I'm not sure too much of the details of the rest though... I have to make a Skype account probably this week.
Um speaking of the bishop, this week he asked me if I had an original boca jersey and I said no. I only have the off brand $12 jersey. So he gave me one of his!!! I didn't even believe it! I don't fully understand why! But it was really nice.
Yesterday we had a super funny noche de hogar with the 3 wards here in Madryn. It was planned last minute by the ZLs but it turned out well. We played a game where we had to pick someone to do something embarrassing in front of everyone and about 20 people picked me to do it!! I was actually offended! Luckily the trick is that you have to do the thing that you chose for the other person! So like people that chose me had to sing a song, dance in front of everyone, tell a joke, act like a dog, and a bunch of other stuff. It turned out to be the funniest thing and I was in tears. Laughing.
I wore Holly's Paraguayan tie and it was a success. Everyone loves it. Hermana Gavia asked me if I spoke Guarani and I made clicking noises and I don't think I've made anyone laugh harder. It wasn't even that funny either. But I'll take it.
This week we kept studying faith and reading talks that Pres. gave us to study and I think my faith has developed more in these 2 weeks than 10 months on the mission or even 18 years. Almost 19.
I'm slowing learning that Jesus is everything. Faith is everything. The Plan of Salvation is everything. The gospel is everything. Repentance is everything. Joseph Smith is everything. The Bible is everything. The Book of Mormon is everything. A prophet is everything. Like everything just works so perfectly individually and yet at the same time, it works so perfectly together! We need every one of those things separate and together. And like if we don't have those things in our lives, like honestly what are we doing?? Ask yourselves that.

Oh ya about the title! President called me and I was like "oh no I'm going home for sure!" and then he was like "Remember how you liked the talk by Elder Costa from the general conference?? Ya well he's my good friend and he says hello!" and then in my head I was like "Bruhhh, President really did that for me!" and I melted inside.
