Hello everyone!

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Thanks for all the letters I haven’t been able to read them all yet but I’ll read them tonight. I know that the Lord is watching out for you while I am here. I’m so gald that God has blessed me with such great family and friends.

I am having a blast here in Punta Arenas. I love all the members in my ward! We are getting them more excited to leave with us to teach our investigators. The Lopez family (Roberto, Janette, Roberto Junior, Franco, and Tamara) were inactive befor and now they are bearing thier testimonys to our investigators and they gave us a reference to teach them discussions. The Alarcon family (Angelica, Fernanda, and Nicolas) is doing better she has been in bed sick for a while and when he were at her house yesterday she was back to her old self dancing around the house. The Guzman family that makes bread is happy as can be with there son Marcelo that moved down from Santiago with his wife Paulina and their daughter Ariel. Marcelo served a mission in Columbia and afterward went inactive for a little bit. Paulina is now baptized and we are reteaching her the lessons so that she can leave with us. The Reyes family is amazing! It’s a great blessing to have them live infront of us if we need help they are always willing to do anything. The Bishop Vidal is a strong short little man that has a very strong grip.

The investigators are wonderful. Yanaina is preparing for baptism. We just taught her the law of chastity with her boyfriend Hugo.

The hardest thing is to get the people to go to church. I’m so glad that I never had a hard time going to church. I know that this is the Lords day and we need to keep it holy. The scriptures are very clear. I love reading them because I’m learning a lot about the commandments and the blessings that come from it as I keep them. It says that a whole nation will perish when they don’t keep the Sabbath day holy. We talked to the bishop about it and now we are going to focus on that topic so that we can make it a strenth. Really we have 6 days to ourselves and to dedicate one day for Him is not too much to ask. All we need to ask ourselves is if this activity is to ador Christ or me?

The weather is crazy! It rains and then it snows and then the snow turns into slush and then it frezzes in the night, and then in the morning Punta Arenas is one big skating rink....it’s not surprizing but I fell two times! Haha I just got up and acted like nothing happened.

Love you all! The church of Jesus Christ is here on the earth and we get are members of His church. I know that President Thomas is our president and he hold all the keys of the priesthood and I’m thankful for his service.

Don’t forget I love ya’ll!
