Hello from Chaiten-Again!

Hey what's up?

So the reason I write again is because I am finally back in Chaitén... So that means that no we didn't have a baptism.. You wanna hear about our last week? So we were doing well. Preparing everything for Saturday. So on Thursday we got a call and it was Elder Trujillo (from my group and a good friend) The AP of the south. He said that we needed to buy a ticket to Pto. Montt for Friday. We had a meeting with the zone of a couple of things that are different now or that have been changed. So we went and bought our tickets. But there was one more thing that he told us... We were having emergency transfers... Elder Vasquez is now in Los Muermos and I have a new companion for a week... Weird right? I have to teach my companion the sector in a week or less because we have to go back to Pto. Montt soon. So we had the meeting on Saturday and then the APs took Elder Vasquez to Los Muermos and I had my new companion. His name is Elder Dominguez, he is from Mexico. So we were going to buy tickets to come back to Chaitén Sunday in the night in the boat but there wasn't a boat that left that night. So we had to come here in bus this morning. We got back maybe an hour ago. So we wrote President Rappleye and now I'm here. So we are going to have the baptism this Saturday. My last week we are going to baptize. I'm really excited. But we are doing good now. Good to be done traveling.. For the week. I traveled last week, this week and next week I'll do the same... I'm so sick of traveling..................................................... But it's all good. So that was our week. Haha. Nothing too exciting. Hope that your week went well. 

I will make sure to take lots of pictures mom don't worry haha. We will see if they will let me take a picture with him in the water. That would be great and I want to see if I can. I would love to do it. We'll see what happens. 

Oh hey thanks mom!! It's good to know that I got in to a school haha. Hopefully everything works out for the best. I know it will. But it sounds like you have been busy at home. With the garden and everything. Well the back yard and my room and everything. It will be good. I know that it will. You don't need to stress about everything. It will good. 

Oh just so you know. I would love to hang out in Salt Lake for that day. I just want to be with you guys for a while and if Scott has to be back there at 4ish then we can go eat and just hang out at Temple Square. I'm ok with that. Just set everything up so that we can spend some time together. I'll be good with anything. But the Temple would be cool too. So sorry it's a little lame but that is pretty much everything that has happened. I'm doing well just a little bit of a head ache from the long travel. It was a little longer today because it was stormy. So we were on the boat for like 4 and a half hours or 5. But it's good. We are doing really well now. I hope that you all have a great week. I can't wait to talk to you guys soon. I love you guys tons!!

Hey everybody,

To start off it was good talking to everybody yesterday. Even though it's crazy like everytime with all the little ones haha. But it was good. I enjoyed it. Mom and dad thanks for everything you do. I was very happy that I stayed on a little longer just to talk to you guys after. It was good just talking to you two alone. Thanks for everything you do for me. I was also thinking that I will probably bring home 4 shirts. Well 3 and the one that I'll be wearing. But all the stuff I won't need I'll make sure to leave it. Both my suits are still in great condition so I will be bringing those home don't worry about that haha. My shirts are also in good condition but I just don't need all of them because I won't have to wear them everyday you know? But I will probably bring home a towel just in case. I have two but one will probably stay here ha. As for other stuff I will probably be leaving as I pack. I don't know exactly. Maybe a coat. If somebody needs a coat. I have one for rain and also one for warmth. I will see what happens don't worry. But We had a good week. I'm pretty sure that I have told you about it already. And I told you about the week to come haha. We are going to go to Pto. Montt but I don't think that we are going to have sobrecambios. Well actually I know that we won't because the ZL just called because I called them earlier and asked. But Nothing is going to go on. I will be coming back here to Chaitén and we will finish the cambio here. So I'm excited for that. But yea everything is normal. I am going to buy some stuff and we are going to go to the mall and have civilization and everything. I am excited to go and visit. It's been so much time since I've been to Pto. Montt. So yea. I think that is pretty much it haha. I don't know of anything that I didn't tell you guys yesterday. I haven't thought of anything else that I need or anything. I will be letting you know though as soon as I know. But yea.

Thanks for the picture of the Temple. It's gorgeous. It looks like it's coming along very well. Hopefully that everything goes well for you guys this week. Thanks for everything you do for me. I am so thankful that your my parents and family and friends. I love you guys so much. Sorry it's so short but I'm out of time and I told you guys everything yesterday haha. But I will be talking to you guys very soon. I hope that everything goes well and that your all safe. I love you guys tons.

Hello from Chaiten

Hey how is everything going?

I am doing really well. We had a good week. It went by really fast. Like the other weeks before. I don't even know where it went to. It's crazy how fast that week went. And that it's already Mothers Day. That is nuts too. But We had a good week. We were able to attend church and Waldo also came. He now has 2 attendances and is really excited to be baptized. He is a good guy. He even bore his testimony yesterday and everything. He is having a bunch of experiences. Like he hasn't had work and he left one day asking that God would give him work. He got to Centro and one guy talked to him about working for that company for 4 years and so he walked a little bit farther and then a guy offered him a job for 20-25 days. But he started today for the company. So he got work. He was also praying the other day about if God would let him know if the church is true and if Joseph Smith was a Prophet and he said he got a warm feeling and knew that it was true. He is progressing a lot. It's awesome. He was a miracle that we found. We haven't really done too much but he is just progressing through the roof. It's amazing watching him. He is the easiest investigator that I have had in my mission. It's kind of strange that I found him here in Chaitén. Just because the work here is a little different. But it's all good. He is a good guy. We have our fingers crossed for the 18th. He could do it then but his baptismal date is for the 25th. We will see what happens. 

That was pretty much our week. Nothing too exciting has happened just that but it's all good. So anyway today we arent' going to be doing anything. It's really cold and we woke up today and it was raining so hard. Yesterday there was a bunch of rain and it was so windy. I don't know how fast the wind was but it was nuts. So we are going to see what happens today. But I doubt that we are going to do anything. Oh and also mom just so you know, it is so green here. It has not changed colors. I don't know why it hasn't but it is still so green. No orange nor red leafs. That's the crazy thing. I don't know what is going on here. But it's still gorgeous here. It doesn't change anything that it's green. But I am ready for it to stop raining. That's one thing that I'm excited for. And that it won't be so cold. But We are doing well. It's been a good week and a great sector. 

Oh mom just so you know it will probably be better to talk in the afternoon. Sorry I totally forgot that it was this Sunday. They haven't given us any of the announcments. So this Sunday it will probably be better to talk in the afternoon. Because we don't know when there will be an internet open. This one will be closed so we are going to have to go talk with Eduardo to see if he can open his place to let us talk. Because he is closed Sundays too. So that is the problem. Because we haven't heard anything from our leaders we haven't planned anything. We are going to try for 6 p.m. here. I will go and talk to him to see if he will open it just for us so that we can skype. He will do it he is a good guy. But sorry we haven't planned anything. But let's plan for 6 here and so I think it's 4 your time. But I will let you know if there are any changes. 

Oh also I will make sure to call the office to see what's going on with my flight. I know your worried but there is not need to worry. Don't stress it haha. Everything will be alright. I will be home mom ha. I'm not going to be stuck here forever. 

That is so cool about the scholarship's that you are doing. That is a great experience and oppurtinity for the people who recieve them. That's awesome mom.

Other than that we are doing well. Nothing too new has happened. Just everything that I wrote. The time is just flying by. I can't believe that that week is gone now. But you know stuff happens. Well I love you guys tons!! Have a great week. I hope to hear from you soon and I'm excited to talk this next week. Have a great week and hopefully lots of blessings come your way. I love you guys.

Un abrazo,
