Hey family,

It was great to hear from you all!! I'm glad everyone is doing great and sounds like everyone is having a ton of fun!! Thanks for the updates, it made me laugh about Annslie ha-ha!! It’s good to feel your love and it really makes me LOL and smile :)

But man how about General Conference?!! It was soo good, I love every moment. On Saturday we went to the stake center to watch so I was able to hear it in English. Then Sunday morning we went with 2 English missionaries to a family that invited me and E Ochoa to go as well. They were super nice and I think the mom might send mom some pics of me. She has a son out now so she understands how moms feel. The dad after breakfast asked if he could make me an omelet. How could I say no?! So he made it for me, just me! Super generous family! Then as we were leaving they gave us a ton of food!! Tons of cereal and milk ha-ha. They showed us a pic of her son, and the elder he is training was in my zone in the mtc! small world. Then for the Sunday afternoon session, we went to the Sanchez family. They fed us and we watched it in Spanish O_o I decided I needed to ask God for help to understand it! And I was really able to understand a lot in Spanish! It was super cool! I was extremely blessed. One thing that I thought was cool is that Richard G. Scott does his own Spanish translation! That’s how good he is at Spanish, you guys probably knew that but it was new to me. The talk has definitely been about the new age change!! I would have enjoyed that a lot! Ha-ha but now Stephen if he's going can leave earlier and get back in time for college! And Michael can go out sooner!! Its super cool, I like it. A lot of missionaries are a little nervous about getting an 18 comp to train just because they aren't sure how mature and ready they will be.

This week was pretty good. We set another man on date! He's super cool, his name is Diego. We watched the restoration video with him and he loved it, the spirit was really strong and after, he was like “I know this is true!” then I started talking and testifying, and I was like “did you understand me,” and he’s like “perfectly!” Gift of tongues really works, I know it’s nothing on me because of how weak I am ha-ha. So we are working hard with him to get him baptized. Pray for him. We have a couple people on date, who we both are hoping we will still be in this area when they get baptized!!! But we will see what happens.

Alex (Alis) the one with cancer is doing so good spiritually, I know he'd be baptized already if it wasn't for his cancer, he has chemotherapy every Friday and by the time Sunday comes he is just feeling awful!! That’s our only problem with him..but we are praying for him! All things are possible.

I'm really feeling good. I’m loving this work. Oh yeah I sent you a letter I think Friday or Saturday so keep your eye out for it!! I know-- finally right!!!!

But Michael an iphone 4 huh? You little traitor, what did android do to you besides give you free music! heheh jk that’s awesome though!!!!

I've been feeling really motivated lately, God is really helping me help Him and His children and want to be a good missionary, I'm so glad he blesses me with a desire to want to improve, it’s really sweet what can happen when we rely more on the Lord for everything! Because of the atonement He will make up the difference!!!

New country: Somalia, not sure where that is?? Ha-ha

But I too am looking forward to re-reading and studying the general conference talks. I think it’s so powerful, and we really tried to focus this week on inviting all out 'gators to watch general conference! I really hope they did!!! It was so powerful. one of my favs was from Uchtdorf's Saturday morning one!!! I loved it. Also it kinda looked like Elder Bednar had a little mollet action going on during the Sunday afternoon session, anyone notice that too? or am I just crazy!!!

Well it’s starting to get chilly here! It’s pretty sweet how close Christmas is already! I’m grateful for my coat! Ha-ha thanks for all you do. I think that’s all I can think of for now!! I hope you can feel my love for you all, because I can feel your love everyday!

Well I look forward to hearing more from you soon!! Learn more from Christ and strive to be like Him daily.

I love you all soo much.

Con amor,

Elder Andrew Lifferth
