Final Week of Mission!!! THIS IS IT!!

Hey!! Well, it´s over. I can´t believe how fast it went by! I feel like I´m at the top of a huge water slide, just getting ready to let go and slide down a steep slope. Its that antsy feeling right before you drop down.. Ahh!

Conference was pretty sweet! The second part of the second session was all jacked up, so someone streamed it from the computer in the chapel and put it up on the projector. Needless to say, it lasted about 45 minutes longer. We went to Ñemby to the Stake Center to watch the conference. There was a lot of people there. I saw a guy there that I met last year in Coronel Bogado! He painted the little house/chapel there. That was way cool to see him. I think my favorite talks were the one on the Atonement by Craig A. Cardon and the one by Dieter F. Uchtdorf about the significance of the painting he has in his office. They were really good! I can´t wait to read them in the Liahona! I think about the General Conference that we have in the church, and there´s no other church or organization in the world that does that.. Get all its members together every 6 months to listen to uplifting and inspiring talks. The members of the church from all over the world get together to watch it! Its like King Benjamin gathering all the people together around his tower, but better! There were also some sweet talks about the family that gave me a little more confidence in getting married.. After all, that is the next big step in life. But, I´m not going to do it right away.. Gotta get somewhat stable first. All the expences double! And I´m broke, yikes!

Anyways.. I have my final interview with President Agazzani today, then a huge family home evening in the chapel with all the members to say our goodbyes. District meeting and packing tomorrow, and Mexican food at Yeimi´s house! We´re stoked.. Then Wednesday at like 5 in the morning we´re heading back to Asunción to the office! Lunch with President, Temple, shopping, testimony meeting, etc.. Then I´ll see all you guys!! How sick is that?! I really dont know what else to say right now.. I´m really hungry and I´m broke. I have 5 Paraguay dollars, 3 to pay for my internet and 2 for the bus ride.. I still gotta get something for Derrek too, I´ve got a pretty good idea :D hahaha.. You´ll see when I get home! So I´m hoping you read this before noon time.. I´ll need about 100 bucks just to be safe. I took out last week what I had in there, but bought some sweet souveniers. Plus I wanna bring home some Paraguay money so you guys can see what its like!

Well, I guess thats about it! I´ll see you in a few days!!
I love you all!! Thanks for supporting me in the best adventure of my life. I have the best family and friends, better than what I could ask for. See you soon!
