October Conference

So with the conference it was weird. We watched the first session in our church in Salamanca. One person came. We couldn't really watch it with all the pauses that happen, so we went to Illapel. I slept on the floor that night. For the rest of the conference, I got to watch it in English. That was a huge blessing. Sunday morning we watched the session we missed in the morning, so we got them all in. We had one investiagor show up, but with watching it in the church, we knew not very many people would come. The second talk of President Monson, I thought he was going to pass out. He was breathing very hard and moving and talking fast, The new apostles did a really good job. I liked Elder Hales talk, and Elder Hollands and Elder Bednars. All the speakers did a really good job. My companion and I started to "ponderize" with the scriptures. We each chose one and one as a companionship. It should help us a lot this week. We had a really cool lesson with this one guy, He is less active and the girl is our investigator. We watched the 20 minute Restoration video and I am pretty sure he almost started crying. It really touched him and you could feel the spirit really strong. It was cool. Then, my companion in another lesson with a member, he picked up their dog and it yelped. They got really mad and it was weird. The investigator was there, so that was not the way to start the lesson and all that for a stupid rat they call their dog. It was cool to see Elder Viñas talk in conference. He spoke in our mission last month. I didn't know he was going to talk in conference. It was weird to hear his voice in English though. That was way different than hearing him speak in Spanish. They all did the talks in English this time. 

We played basketball today for p-day.  My comp and I were playing. I want to be a shooting coach someday. I don't know how, but that would be really fun to do. Other then that, have a good week.

Love,

Elder Gililes
