Last week in the MTC!!

Can't believe it's already another p day.  Time is going so fast, its crazy.  It feels like I've been in the MTC for 5 months but it also feels like its only been a week.  

Not a ton happened this week so I will keep this email pretty short, and I don´t have much time because we are going to the temple today!!  I will have a better email next week cause ill be in Saltillo baby!!!

First off, conference was AMAZING.  Conference in the mission is one of the best things ever.  Not only is it a break from classes all day, but we get to hear from the General Authorities.  I have never payed such close attention during conference before, and I learned so much.  It felt like all the talks were written just for me.   

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! You guys are  the best!  It's always fun having conference on my birthday.  My district sang happy birthday to me 19 times throughout the day.  I'm pretty sure everyone is the MTC knew it was my birthday lol.  It was so embarrassing haha!  My parents sent me a huge cake and got me a bunch of presents! My fav one was for sure the ipod shuffle, and the speaker.  They put a bunch of Spanish music on it, so I blast that all the time haha.  Also shout out to everyone who sent me a letter wishing me happy birthday.  It really meant a lot!!

Next time you guys hear from me I will be in Saltillo!  All the natives tell me Saltillo has the best food!  They also say its really really hot so that will be fun.  They also say it is muy bonito so that is a bonus!!  I can't believe my time in the MTC is coming to an end!  I leave at 3 in the morning on Monday!!  I am so excited to share this wonderful gospel with the people of Saltillo, and bring the joy and happiness of the gospel into their lives.  I love this work so much, I have never done anything so hard, so joyful, and so fulfilling.  There is nothing better than the lords work!  I love you all and I am grateful for all of your prayers and support.  Until next week!

 I'm not sure if they know how to cut a cake!  Hilarious...We ordered this for Conner and his district and it was delivered the day after his bday.  Costco cake! A taste of home.

 Conner and his comp Elder Ceb with, what I am guessing is a new missionary?  I see a green dot on Cebs and Conners missionary tag.  I'm guessing they are the escorts...
