This week was cool, and conference was nice. I was having trouble through most of the conference to really be connected and engaged. I took a few notes but really wasn't in 100% until the last session. Then that last one, I was in, and following closely. It seemed like all the talks were applicable and necessary. I followed intently and loved it. When we watch conference, we're all by the Tammenga chapel. The chapel is very very warm and humid and makes you very very sleepy. I liked the later sessions best because it wasn't at the highest point of the sun. After and during all the conference sessions I talked to all the members and said goodbye, it was great. I went in with the attitude of just celebrating the gospel, not being sad that we're leaving. It's nice having Elders Guinn, Tullis, and Freeman around to go through all this with.
This morning at 2am I arose from bed to end my 2 hour sleep. I called the zone leaders to see if they were still coming. We had called the night before, and couldn't reach them, and still at 2am, couldn't reach them. I knew that they were sleeping. So, I called sister Jansen, and asked for suggestions. She went over to their house with Elder Jansen and woke them up, we all packed into the car and made our way to the airport. We arrived in Trinidad, and haven't done a single thing since. I hope that these next 3 days aren't like today has been so far. Unplanned, useless and boring. It's seriously about as bad as torture can be. I've got a 6" sandwich in my pocket though, so if I get hungry, I'll be ready. We're staying with the Assistants. Today is p-day and there doesn't seem to be much going on, I assume that tomorrow there will be missionary work to do? We'll just be hanging out here at the office for the time being. I counted down the hours until we're in Utah. It's so far, yet so close.
Elder Warner will be working with Elder Sadler. Old eyes see best and our appointments were all great.

I think one of my last two birthday cakes is in order. I haven't had good chocolate cake in two years.
I love you all. See you soon.
