BUENO DIAS-ESPANOL CONFERENCE TODAY

SPANISH FORUM. JAN 20,2011. We meet together with all the Spanish speaking missionaries once a quarter and have some spanish training. President Burton is very fluent in spanish and comes and gives enthusiastic uplifting training. All the talks, presentations, prayers, songs, everything is in Spanish. I am blessed to have wonderful missionaries sit by me and interpret. Boy I am impressed with missionaries who get to learn a new language. I would really like to learn Spanish, but I think my brain isn't wired for it.
The meeting is always very fun. Great talks, and presentations. And of course-great Food. The spanish are known for this and they make sure that we are well fed at Spanish Forum.
