Buenas,

Pues, I got my 3rd Hijito from Antofagasta last week. His name is Elder Burton from Ogden, but he doesn’t look as gringo as the rest. He plays good soccer and his Spanish isn’t too bad por una semana en el campo ( 1 week in the field). Actually, he is a lot like my cousin Jake so we get along pretty well.

This week we did a lot of things, but 2 highlights. The first was our Christmas Service Project, We went to an Ancianato (old folks home) and sang and visited them with our Christmas hats. There was also a man there who destroyed half the Elders in our zone at chess. The other half didn’t get a chance to play. It was really awesome and fun.

The second one was that we have been teaching this Haitian couple for about 2 months and now this week we will go take out an hour so that they can get married. They will be baptized either next week or the one after. They are really awesome and I can’t wait to see them take this next step!

May15- May 21 Super crazy and I am running short on time so sorry! Probably the biggest news is that Elder Turner and I received special Transfers! and it is not because we did anything bad. My comp is going to open up a new sector in Calama which is way hotter and colder than any other city in the mission. It is like 4-5 thousand meters above sea level. My new comp is coming in from another mission (south of Chile) and is from Argentina. He is really new in the mission and I get the opportunity to train him de nuevo. I am excited and a little nervous. Its a big responsibility but I look forward to the challenge. One thing Elder Turner and I decided to start saying is One degree more. Whats the difference between water at 99 and 100 degrees? It boils and so we are wanting to give just that little extra effort. Should be a neat experience. So today was also my birthday and we were able to visit the Esmeralda boat today because today is also a Chilean holiday that mark

Sorry to always be writing emails that are not terribly detailed. I have been super tired this past week. It was really good but crazy. Got to go on several intercambios this week and I made a goal to try to take a picture on each one but I wasn't super great at remembering so that's what the selfies are. We were also super blessed to baptize Marleny and her family. It was a close small service that was one to remember. It was a miracle to watch because it was just a ton of resistencia with her situation but we saw miracles. On Sunday night we did a zone attack in one of the sectors that are by the beach so that is that photo. It was a little overcast and not a lot of gente, but we did contact this really cool Brazilian guy. We have a Brazilian elder in our zone and we are always trying to talk with him in Portugese. I am not to good at remembering stuff but it's common to here in the zone Duda bain (All Good) Sorry to all those that speak Portugese because

Hello all. It has been quite the week. I had the chance to do everything as the penultimate week of my training. Next week we have cambios and there is a chance that I may get transferred. Who knows where. The only thing is if I move, I have to leave a lot of the food I bought today in the Pension. I did buy peanut butter today and it is very expensive. I will be taking that in my suitcase but the rest will stay. We are working super hard this week to do all we can to leave the sector in a good place if we leave. Today for Pday we went to go see the Mummies that are here in a museum. Apparently they are the oldest in the World. Who knew? It was actually nice to go see them because the museum is more up in the valley and there is actually a lot more green there. It didnt feel like we were in the desert anymore. This week we also finished teaching a family for baptism next Saturday and afterwards we got to see and hold the llama that they had purchased th
