I only really have one experience to share
 this week. So we are working with a family right now named Fam. A. 
He is a SUPER nice guy and believes in Christ and living prophets and 
his wife is very accepting as well. So naturally we invited 
them and their 4 year old son to conference to hear the words of Pres. 
Monson and then pray about it. The conference center where we all met is
 about twenty minutes away in car and he doesnt have a job right now so 
he couldnt pay for the gas to get to there. So we got a member on board 
to help us bring this family to conference. So Saturday rolls around and they committed to come to the second sesión of conference that afternoon. So saturday
 morning we sat with the rest of the rejects without 
investigators and watched the first sesión of conference haha. After 
lunch me and Elder Altamirano had to take a bus back to our house so we 
could meet up with this member and go grab Fam. Amaro. The bus came 
really late and it took forever to get back to the house, by the time 
the bus stopped we started running in 100 degree heat in suits to meet 
up with our ride. hahah misión life. We show up to the members house and
 then drive over to pick up Fam. A., the whole time me and Elder 
A. are hoping and praying that PLEASE can we have this family 
show up. We knock on the door, wait about five seconds and Hmo. A 
opens the door in a dress shirt and slacks, then his little boy peeks 
out from behind him in a little suit and yells "¡Estoy listo hermanos! 
(I'm ready brothers). I seriously almost cried, the whole family was 
dressed and ready to go right on time. 
When we 
showed up to conference they were very serious and the only time that 
Hmo A talked for the whole sesión was when he leaned over and asked 
us before every speaker "hmo is he the prophet?" So we had to explain 
about apostles again and what a 70 is. Throughout the entire conference 
he kept asking when President Monson was going to speak. ahhahah the 
funny part was President Monson didn't end up speaking in that session, 
but hey there were some really good talks so its all good. 
Another
 thing that was so cool about conference was the talks in the different 
languages. It's one thing to hear a guy translate the words of living 
prophets and leaders into spanish, its totally different to hear these 
men of God testifying in their native language. Seriously the talks that
 were given in spanish by native spanish speakers were so powerful and 
were a huge spiritual moment for every single person in the conference 
center here in Mexico and I'm sure all around the world. I'm so grateful 
that Heavenly Father has changed things up so members and investigators 
around the world can feel Gods concern and guidance for them in their 
own language. 
So yeah conference was a success. 
Missionary conference is so much different than conference as just a 
member sitting in their house. We are trying to remember and be able to 
teach every Word that these men of God teach so that we can have the 
success and the Spirit we need to be missionaries of Christ.
