Sorry, My Father's Day letter didn't get sent!

dad happy fathers day!! i was thinkin about you yesterday a lot and hope you had a great day. i wish i could have called you but.............nope. in a few months i will. how did you day go? according the videos it looks like it went great. what did you get?


this week went by way freakin fast but it was really good. we didnt flood anything so we´re good. there is a lot of work going on here so its quite nice! we´re going to baptise a lady whose husband died 8 months ago. he was a ambulance driver and there was a crash in his ambulance and died instantly. it is really really sad but she is finding a lot of counsel in what we teach her. she is probably one of my favorite people here in chile. its really awesome giving her the hope of seeing her husband again. she has four boys from 2 years to 19 but the 2 oldest dont really listen too much but we´ll see. she has a baptismal date for the 3 of july. and we have 3 more baptismal dates so things are going really good. i reciently passed my 7 month mark which is wierd. the time is flying by i cant believe it.
right now i am visiting my old comp elder glover. we are having a pretty fun pday. i like pdays quite much. you guys that are about to leave will like them muchly as well i promise.
well it sounds like everyone is out of town and dad is chillin with the house and kickin back. dad we will do a lot of that after my mission. i like the sound of that. where did you get your new grill dad? was it a gift? and that is cool that joan has her own laptop now i bet that is really nice for her haha.
well take care family of mine. i love you all and hope that all is going great for you and enjoy the warmth. i miss it a ton. i wake up with head aches because its so cold here in the nights. but its chill the colder it is and the more it rains my wife gets hotter. so bring on the coldness dangit.
love me. (elder elder)

Here is this weeks letter!

well i logged on today and realized that the letter i wrote last week didnt send! sorry.

this week has gone by way fast. we are in the last week of the transfer and we got a lot of work going on here. 4 baptisms this week! the lady i wrote about that her husband passed away 8 months ago is getting baptised this sat!!!!!!!!! it was so awesome at church yesterday in a class she shared her feelings about how she felt about the church and said that after her husband had passed away she was looking for something more in her life but couldnt find it in her previous religion and that finally she has found it. it was really really cool. she is one of my favorite people here. we´re gonna give her a calling in the church right away and get her prepared for the temple! she is a great lady. her name is Liliana.


i went to this lake thing in the mountains to day for my p day and i am freakin tired but it was awesome. there were cliffs all over the place surrounding the lake and i wanted to cliff dive so bad.............but we cant. ill have to do it in like 3 years i guess when i come back after the mission with my wife! :)

I baptized the baptismal font!

man this was a way crazy week. really good, really bad, but it finished out good. ok we ill just tell you that we flooded the church at our baptisms. it takes about three hours to fill up and we came back a little before 3 hours and the baptismal font needed a little more water so we went out side and took a bunch of pictures and kinda forgot about the font............well when we went back inside we saw that there was a ton of water in the hall way and the viewing room. i ran to the janitors closet to get the mop and we started cleaning up the water immediately but there was already a lot of water. ill send some pics. anyways after about 20 min of trying to mop up the water from the carpet we started the baptisms. there was 4 people getting baptised. 3 of them we were teaching and another was a little girl from the ward who turned 8 and her uncle baptised her. it was really cool because he leaves for his mission soon. but anyways when it was my turn to baptise one of our investigators i said the baptism prayer and once i started putting her in the water to baptise her she started panicing like crazy and was like shaking while i was trying to put her under the water. it was really bad. well long story short she didn´t end up getting baptised and i pretty much traumetized her, after flooding the chapel of course. but we still baptised 2 of our other investigators!! but now everything is alright and she´ll get baptised soon once she calms down...hopefully. but other than that we had a killer week. this is my comps and i first time not being junior companion and we got a call from the zone leaders and asistants congratulating us on our week. so i guess we did alright.


so how is everyone doing? sounds like katie enjoyed efy  and kevin is riding his butt off on his bike. and everyone is getting married! jeeze that is so awesome. i cant believe talina is getting married. that is really good for her. and jonnie langford way to go! chelsea too!. there will be like a hundred more crying babies when i get home. that´ll be fun.

well it has started to rain like crazy here. you are all in the nice summer and i wear a complete rain suit with my umbrella getting soaked. its actually pretty funny i find myself just laughing for some reason walking down the street while it is pooring and we´re the only ones in the road. its awesome. but we have a lot of people that we are teaching and at least 4 really good possibles for baptism.

dad you asked if i really wanted you to send my longboard to me. i would absolutely love that here the hills are crazy but i couldn´t really use it. i would like a real sized american flag and some of my white and purple electric jacket when you do send a package. hahaha and money is always welcome if anyone is thinking of sending something........

well i love you all a lot i hope you are all doing great! i am having a way good time down here in chile. i liked seeing my plack too that is in the church.

well take care everyone

3 Baptisms this next Saturday!

well whats up! Angol is freakin awesome just so you know. my comp and i are way excited we are having 3 baptisms this sat plus another little girl that is in our ward that turns 8. so ya i know its pretty sicky. me and my comp have been workin alot so i bought a little tool of some sort. i bought a guitar so it will be a good time. dont worry we´re allowed to have guitars here. i bought one thats kinda crappy but alright for like 60 bucks but it sounds pretty. i have to practice a song from bon jovi i forget which one it is right now but aparently i am going to sing it for all the brown people here at a stake activity. hahahaha ya. its gonna be fun.

right now im in temuco its more down in the south becuase my comp had to do some visa paper work and we are visiting some of his friends here. so i dont have a ton of time......i like you all though dont forget. i was actually walking around today and saw a big group of americans walkin around and i said hey whats up bro to this kid and he looked at me wierd because he wasn´t expecting to here that from no one here in chile. i stopped and talked to them for a while. they´re here for 6 months teaching spanish or somehting. but its cool, i asked them to get baptised and they said yes. so in two weekends. no i lie. that would be very cool though!

i love you all and hope that all is super good. take care and i will write better next week.
