Hola Familia,

It sounds like you have all had quite the busy week. It sounds like almost all of Utah's sports teams are doing good. It is always fun to hear what is going on back home. I can't believe Homecoming has already come and gone. It sounds like Kenzie had a good time at the dance. It is good to hear that your arm is getting better. It seems like it is taking a long time to recover, but that is probably because it is. I am sad to hear that Keith Anderson passed away. I always loved listening to his stories. I will never forget when we went over to his house and he showed us all of his antiques. He was such a cool guy and he will be missed.

Conference was amazing like always. It was fun to finally find out who were going to be the new apostles. I really enjoyed all of their talks. I didn't get to see the last session on Sunday because there was a small problem and we never made it. I will just have to read it later. So like always, I would like you to send me General Conference in English. I really liked (I think it was Holland) Talk. He talked a lot about Mom's and parents. It was kind of a trunky talk but I enjoyed it a lot.

I was able to go to the temple on Thursday. It had been ten months since I had went. I love to go to the temple. It was really needed. I just needed to destress a little bit and feel the spirit a little stronger in my life. It was kind of like a purification. We left super early. We left at 5 in the morning and went to a session and 8 in the morning. Afterwards we bought a few things in the temple and a few things in a store by the temple. Afterwards we went to subway. That is the first time I had Subway for more than 15 months. It was so good. They even had chocolate chip cookies. I haven't had cookies like that for a long time either. Maybe I could make them one day but I don't remember the recipes.

We are going to stay away from Jose Sandoval for a littl bit and let him revaluate what he is doing. I will probably go back and visit him in a few weeks. The area is kind of slow right now. We are trying to find a lot of new people to teach but it hasn't been going so well. This week I will manage to do better though.

Transfers are this week. I can't believe six weeks have already passed since I got here. There is a good chance that my companion will have a change. Where he has had a problem in this area before I think he might go. But you never know what is going to happen. He could still stay. I don't really care if he stays or goes. If he goes I don't have to worry about his problem but if he stays I will be fine because we get along really well. I will just have to wait and see.

les amo,
Elder Isaacson

P.S. I took a little money off my card this week to go to the temple.
