Hello everyone, this is the last letter you will be gettin from Elder Elder. Things have really been going very well for us down here. We are having 2 more baptisms this friday (kevins birthday and my 2 year mark)!!! This past week we had a really good time. On friday night we were able to go our priesthood group camping because my comp and I are the Branch Presidency. We dont have too much money in the church budget and everyone here is pretty poor so we decided to get donations of rice, eggs, and hot dogs for dinner (and breakfast haha) and someone talked to the mayor and asked if someone from the city could drive us 20 minutes into this really pretty canyon and so it all worked out great. We went with our whole new deacons qourom, the newly reactivated members and all the guy converts, we also had an investigator that is really interested. We got there about 7ish and set up camp then started making dinner. After dinner we had a devotional and my comp and I taught about the pioneers and how the 3 young men carried the people across the frozen water and how our priesthood responsability we have is really big. They all liked it. After that we all chilled around the fir and told stories, i played my guitar for a while and then fell asleep. Almost all of us slept outside by the fire under the stars. I was right next to the fire and my convert slept right next to me. All he wants to be is a missionary, he is good little kid. The next day we got up, ate, cleaned camp and went to a river so they could go swim. i wanted to so bad......................soon enough tho. I really was such a good activity.


This past sunday we had stake conference and the missionaries that are leaving from the stake all gave their testimonies. 2of the 5 are from my sector. I was actually in this stake last year at this time i dont know if you remember or not but i was in Angol for 6 months and now ive been in los sauces for 4 months. Ive been in this stake almost half my mission. Pretty much the whole stake knows me really well. I was a really good day yesterday. One of the other missionaries that is leaving mentions how much his parents helped him to get on his mission and then he mentioned me. I really am going to miss this place. Seriously so many people have stopped me and have commented on our work and the legacy i am leaving here. I always tell them it wasnt just me obviously but its still nice to hear their appreciation. Tonight actually the members here in the stake are planning a stake family night for me. I have to be there in another hour. I really love it here. It is so wierd for me to say goodbye to them all because it feels like it really is my home.
I know that is week is going to go by really fast. I only have like 3 days that
 i can work in my sector too.........im going to start packing my bags too this week. Im writing letters to all my converts and people here. It is and long and slow task.......i really hope i can finish. I really am so content with the work and progress that the Lord has helped us to have. Im going to happy but sad at the same time. I guess that is a good sign tho.

Its wierd for me to think that it really has been 2 years since ive been home. To see modern things and white people and people with all there teeth again. Dad, if you can find out for me what my homecoming talk is about it would help a lot because on the plane i can start it. Please help me out with that. I really hope that for those of you that are going to travel i hope you travel with safety and that you´re all stoked to see me because i am!!! I wanna get tacked by all my nieces and nephews. That is if they aren´t too scared to talk to me because they dont know me.........

Ok fam i need to get going. I love you all so much and want to thank you for all your love and support. I will be anxiously waiting to see you in Salt Lake!
Take care,
Elder Elder

heree are the camping trip pics, halloween activity,  and the 2 baptims from a couple weeks ago.

Well I now finally have a little time to write my family letter. I am in a little stinky internet cafe and it is getting very very hot now. I was outside all day for a mission activity and I am exausted and burned. Its ok tho i need to enjoy the little summer i am going to have. When I get home its already going to be pretty much winter!

Well this week was very eventful for us. We had 2 more baptisms!!! 2 Brothers that are 18 and 13 got baptised and loved their baptisms. We are still working with their dad. Hopefullly before i go home!!! I dont know if he is the man that God is preparing for Los Sauces or not but we gotta try. We also had our own primary program and it turned out so good. Our new 20 year old convert is the new primary pres and she and her 15 counseler prepared it very very well. We helped a little in prepare but mostly them. We helped a lot in the practices tho. There was about 5 niños that particapated and this friday we are going to have a little party for them. They were pretty stoked about that. There is a little 3 year old that participated that asked for the prize really really loud when the program ended. Every one lauged really hard.

I have 3 more weeks left to be a missionary. It is pretty nerv racking for me. The bad part is that I have like 4 big meetings before i go that i have to attend. And becuase i am so far i have to travel a lot. In one next thursday apparently we have a apostal that is coming here! i dont know who tho. Next monday we want to go climb a volcano too! I really hope i can. There have been a lot of erruptions here lately.................we´ll see what happens.

Ok fam i love you all so much and I appreciate your prayers. Keep em coming. Have a great week!
