General Conference

  Hola la mejor Mama en el Mundo!

I really enjoyed General Conference this week it was really spiritual, plus it was in English! There were some Amazing  talks. I took to heart the one by Elder Holland! It`s really good to know that God is always on our side and will forgive us freely! I really liked the talk that Elder Uchtdorf gave about the Family and it reminds me how much I miss mine!

   

      Fuerte Ventura is Awesome! The people here are really down to earth and they are here to relax and have fun. The work is hard but the living is nice, this place is like southern California. Sometimes I wish that I went to a third world country but then I think how glad I am to have a cool Piso and a washer machine! Some loco dude stopped me in the street today and asked me some knotty questions! I told him off in Spanish that I'm waiting for marriage for those things! I love you Familia and I cant wait to see ya'll this Día de la Madre! 

Love Moroni

Elder Beal,
Dad and Malachi went camping Friday night and came back just in time to watch General Conference. They camped up at Elderberry Flats. Malachi cooked his own meal and learn how to set up his own hammock.  He'll be all ready when you come home. I know you used to camp there and have paintball wars with Rick and Gavin and Christian and Colton and Donavaghn and Emerson.  Goodtimes!

Zack and Sarah had their baby:

Darren turned 2 on April Fool's Day. It looks like he loved his cake!!! Super cute! Amazing blue eyes!
Here's a picture of both boys at Easter time. Aren't they so adorable!?! I just wish I could squeeze them and kiss their sweet faces! They are so adorable, I can't wait to see them in person again!

Here are a few Lisa posted on FB of Elder Mapel. I wish I could send you his video. It is super cool how fluent he is in the language. Maybe next month on our call I can play it for you. He is cooking with sawdust.

Here's a picture from Donavaghn's blog. They're not sure why he's wearing a pink tiara, it is a birthday party for his companion. He said the same thing about Easter week -been really difficult with Catholics all leaving town.

Hope you have enjoyed these photo updates. I noticed they were all about boys!

General Conference was wonderful! Dad tied flies while watching. I thought it was interesting that they pointed out that the savior was both a stepson and a refugee. Lots of people will be able to relate to that. I also loved the concept found in the scriptures about beauty from ashes when talking about the Provo City Temple. And also the restored church from Elder Uctdorf's homeland.
We love you and her so proud of you! Keeping you and Elder Boyd in our prayers. Please let me know if there's anything we can do for you.
Love,
Mom
