Heading South - My First Transfer in Chile

Querido familia y amigos,

So I have something to tell you first before I start my letter...... I got a phone call yesterday and it was President Rappleye. He told me that he is sending me home..... I don't even know why. He just said I can't be here anymore.. I don't know what to do?

Hahahaha ok ok just kidding. But seriously he called me to tell me I can't be here anymore. Well he didn't say those exact words. He told me I'm going with an Elder who came down to Chile with me. We have the same amount of time. So it's going to be interesting. But I'm leaving Los Muermos. I'm going to a place called Puerto Natales. He told me it's the most beautiful sector in PUNTA ARENAS!!!!!!!!! I fly out in two days. And I'm in a sector that is pretty much isolated. It's like 2-3 hours in bus from Punta Arenas. And so it will be me and my companion for the cambio alone. We won't see anyother missionaries for the 6 weeks. It's going to be good. I'm so excited! Normally when Elders go south they go for 6 Months and so when I return from down there I will most likely have a year on my mission. That is so nuts to think!! But I'm so excited to go down. And this is the only place in the mission that we can get the leather cases for scriptures like Alan has. So I'm excited because I wanted some of those. There is also a National Park there that only the missionaries in Puerto Natales can go to. So that will be fun! And hopefully there are penguins I hope so!! But also it's a HUGE tourist spot so there should be lots of Americans there and it's going to be a really good experience. I'm super excited I can't wait til my Christmas Party! I'm hoping that they haven't already had their's down in the Sur. But we will see right? I just want a Christmas party they are always so fun. And hopefully it will help with my first Christmas away from home. I'm hoping that it will anyways

I love the Book of Mormon. So many sweet stories!! It's awesome. I will try to record the memories in my Journal. Sometimes it's hard to write in it but I am trying harder and harder to write every night. But I want to keep them for my life. I love the traditions here and the food. It's so FATTENING!! They deep fry everything and I mean EVERYTHING! That is the bad part. But I'm trying to excercise and stay not fat. Haha we will see.

I know that the Gospel is true and Christ lived for us and still lives. He is amazing. I have been reading from Jesus the Christ. I have been trying to ready it and I'm in like chapter 3. It's hard but it's awesome. Builds my Testimony everyday! Well everytime I read it. But I know it's real without a doubt in my mind. I'm doing good and I'm happy. It's just nuts to think I have 6 months already. The time has gone by so fast and only gets faster once I can speak with everybody and understand everything they say to me. But I love it. Nothing like the Mission right?
