Well, hello. We have had an interesting week and we are absolutely exhausted. Such is life. But a couple of questions first as well...


Okay, i had other questions but i don’t remember now.

I was going to warn you, don’t be scared when you get here, the people are veryyyyyyyyyyyyy touchy feely. They hug a lot and give lots of kisses on the cheeks. They don’t have personal space like we do. And mom, for example, it would be a privilege really for us to be there with Alejandra. Their culture is more like that, that you stay with people, that you are close. They aren’t really a people of privacy or personal space. Like they would be more than happy to have you there. For example, i would love to stay there with her. If you guys don’t stay with her i probably still will. But i know that you might be uncomfortable there in her home but it is a big house and there is a bedroom downstairs that has it’s own bathroom and everything, so you would have your own personal space. And they speak English. But i know you might be uncomfortable, but for what i want to do, i want to be with her. That is my vote. But do what you feel is best but i know it will be just fine.

With the stuffing you guys have to remember that i haven’t eaten American food in a year and a half, any American food now tastes like the best food ever.

i don’t´ know anything about calling home, they will probably tell us the week before. sorry, no clue, give me another week. i always tell you when i know.


it is such a blessing that we have prophets today. it is amazing how many people are lost and confused on what to do, who to believe, what to think because there are so many churches and people saying things that contradict. i feel so blessed to have prophets today because we know exactlyyyyyyy what god wants from us. we are anything but confused, we have truth adn light and guidance and these other people have confusion, darkness, and doubts. but what a marvelous life we can lead if we follow gods trueeeeee commandments that we learn through his prophets. it is amazing how much it really changes our lives and in the end, our eternal lives.

sorry, i stink at speaking about the gospel in ingles.

okay, mom, Alejandra says just stay with them. mom, she is amazing! she says that when she comes to the states she is going to stay with us in our house!!! :) why pay for a hotel when she has us and we have her! but really mom, don’t worry about it, she is awesome, and you know that i am not just friends with anyone and i wouldn’t just to whatever. really, she is one of my best friends. she is awesome, her husband, they are great. we will be fine. but write her more so you can be friends and be okay with staying with them, more comfortable. call her and get to know her more, i told her you are nervous about it all. but you will be fine. thank you for everythinhgggggggggggggggggggggg.

Well, with me there has been some interesting things that have happened. Cambios came and went and we both stayed here. I am going to end my mission here in osorno. There are two sisters who got here to osorno in another sector to open a new sector and they are looking for a house, they don’t have one. They are in the same shoes we were. But they are living with us. Our house is sooooooooooooooo small. Let’s say that in the old house, where Leanne and justin are, our house maybeeeeeeeeeeeee is the size of my two bedrooms and the bathroom. Imagine four people in that, with suit cases and all, and that is the bathroom, two bedrooms, kitchen, and everythingggggggggggggg. We are a little tight squeezed. And of all the hermanas, you would never believe you it is, they are two gringas, hermana morphis and her companion. After only seeing each other once our entire mission we are ending living together until they find a house, they found one and will probably move on Monday, it really is a tight tight tight squeeze. But it is just fine.

So more than anything that is my story. We have just been trying hard to work hard. My family doesn’t help much since they have gotten so trunky. (Means we miss her and want her home)All the missionaries here in osrono are in a choir and we are going to sing Christmas songs in the plaza for Christmas. That will be fun, hopefully we sound good in the end. We are not very many but such is life.

We have had a fun week this week. My comp has been overly excited to stay with me natoher cambio. I was secretly praying i would be with hna monsalve again but she is stilllllllllllll in punta arenas. Sometimes it is hard to accept what the lord has in store for us.
