my beloved family,

I am just swell, things are going quite well. hahaha idk you wanted to know what it feels like to be me, and i would anwer that question saying, i feel like how a fat kid feels about cake(chocolate), i feel like how a dog feels about bones, i feel like how a sea lion fees about snorkels, i feel like how a kid feels about christmas, i feel like how a poor man feels about winning the lottery. as you can tell, i feel ABSOLUTELY fantastic!!!! i am so happy to be out here on the mission doing all that i am doing! to see the happiness this gospel brings to the beautiful people of chile! i feel like a MILLION BUCKS! (yeah dad i stole that from you) haha

yes, i recieved the easter box and LOVE It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is perfect and elder tomaz is digging all the candies(he is a candy fanatic) haha i put up the window stickers on my study window as soon as i saw them and thank y ou so much for the peanut butter, nuttella, and honey!! i have gone back to peanut butter honey sandwiches! forgot how good they are!!!:) oh and thank you sooooo much for the cadbury eggs! i have been sharing them with my district for district class and they cant get enough of them:) 

The sabatical sounds like it went soo good!!! i loved the pictures of whama and the sea lions haha i could just imagine her getting all prepared for that and dowing it i am sad i missed the chance to be part of her first dive, im sure it was AWWESOME!!:) oh and by the way, its not 18 months left, its 16 haha ive been out for 8 months haha time is FLYING! About calling i have no idea when it would bee....we will jsut have to wait and see haha. 

About me down here, Elder Tomaz and i have been working working and working sooo much! and our investigaters and progressing really well and in may we should have a few more baptisms! also this sunday we had a couple Inactive members come to church for the first time and elder tomaz and i were SOSOO exticed to see them take these little steps back to the lord!!! we also had 6 investigaters in church and most of the investigaters are starting to love the church so much that they are coming without us inviting them at all! they feel like they are part of the family and sooner or later they will be baptized into this amazing church that they will be truly happy:)

Im so grateful for all of you and want you guys to know that you are in my prayers everynight and i can feel the power of your prayers for me. THank you for all your support you give me. I love you all!
