No I haven't felt any earthquakes!!!

so first off i know that this last week mexico has experienced many earthquakes and natural disasters, but here in guadalajara we havent felt a thing! so no worries all is well here! anyways this last week was pretty fun honestly, our zone conference and interviews werent too stressful so that was good. this week we have been trying to find a new house since ours is far away from the church, the members, and pretty much everything haha. tuesday we spent a decent amount of time trying to find a new house, we had actually found one but sadly someone else rented it before we could even get the papers started... and we visited a few investigators then got home that night and finished planning for the zone conference the next day! Wednesday was CRAZY!! we got up super early to be able to get to the church on time. ive always said that having 4 zones in one church is a bad idea, but no one really believes me haha. we started the conference at 930, even though it was supposed to start at 9 but our president is excatly the most puntual guy haha. and we had planned to end at 2, but because my luck is the worst in the world, we didnt get over till 6.... the conference went pretty good, President went WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY over his planned time in his training, and that threw things off from the beginning. when we seperated to have different workshops, the other zone leaders decided to do what they want and kinda ruined everything, but i saved the day by telling them to take some missionaries and do practices with them while we finished up. i also had to share my testimony again in front of everyone, it wasnt as hard as it was in leadership council so that was good, just short and sweet. afterwards we took pictures with everyone since its the only time we see each other. then we went to the offices because president wanted to start interviewing people that day from our zone. we left the offices abou 730 and got home right at 9. thursday same story, we got up super early, got to the offices at 9 and started our interviews. they werent too stressful like they usually are, but they did go over time so we had to stay at the offices more time than we thought. i was last to have my interview, the assistents had told me that this would be my last interview since the president was gonna be extra busy this transfer and wasnt gonna have time to do final interviews, but right as i walked into his office he said "today wont be your last interview so dont worry". that was a HUGE relief. We left there at about 3 and went to work that day. Friday and saturday was the same story, just working and trying to help our investigators that we have and trying to find new ones as well. Sunday church was better than last week, alot more people showed up thankfully. in the gospel principles class there were 3 young women that had shown up out of the blue. they said they came to study the church as a high school assignment, so rather than having the gospel principles class we spent the time answering all their questions, it was really cool honestly, mainly because after talking to them for a minute i realized the questions they were asking no longer were because of their school assignment, but because they were interested in our message! so that was really cool. Today we had what i would call a success of a pday! a member here took us to a big nice mall here, where every store has outlet prices, so i bought a new suit and a few under armour shirts since they were real cheap haha. then the member took us out to lunch! he took us to the restaurant cuarto de kilo, the same one where i ate on my  birthday this week, and again i ate 2 hamburgers and got my picture put up on the wall. the funniest part is that i ate the hamburgers and was still hungry after.... your stomach turns into a black hole as a missionary haha. that was my week! im really excited for general conference and i hope you all are too! i hope you all have a great week and that listening to the conference this weekend you can recieve answers to your prayers! i love you all! Love Elder Griffin
