soooooooooooooooo first off, NO CHANGES!!:) im really happy about this because now i will be able to be here to see a chunk of our investigaters arive to the waters of baptism:) so its still me and Elder Tomaz, and the odd thing was that in our zone none of the elders got changed! exactly the same and the only Sisters that changed was one that went home (Hermana Tingey from Logan, UT(she has been in my district since i got here to chile haha)(when i got here she only had 9 months in the mission.....Im old)) and one other compañionship. so i feel like next change there is going to be a lot of changes here in Alicahue. But 6 more weeks till that happens:)

Moab looks and sounds like it was sooooo cool!!!! i love how all you guys are getting so into rock crawling! its never been my forte but looks like is a super cool time:) i love the pics of the jeeps, forgot how SICK they are!!! 

Ky berret was called to boston!! thats soo cool!! this guy in our wards grandson got called there too! maybe theyll get to know eachother! haha thats so cool that brian got to talk to him about the mission, i wish i would have known someone that went here before i left to get the run down! speaking of that, have rachael look in the Lone Peak seminary building tosee if someone from lone peak has been called here!! i could give them the run down or something:)

About mothers day, i set up the time with a family from the ward and the timing is really rough but the only time i can do it is at 3 oclock here, so 12 oclock there. hopfully that isnt a problem, becuase that litterally is the only time i can do it. i guess i will just see you guys then:)

Lastly for me this week, so it was a super chill week that we did a ton of contacting and working with finding inactive members through this program "Rescate" went super good and found a lot of people! oh and on saturday we worked inthe "FERIA" (a fair in the streets everysingle day) to try to find some new people and invite people to our open house in our church this following saturday and it turned out super good! one of the people we contacted is a family of 3 from peru that just moved here like 3 weeks ago and they are not part of any religion but are really christian and have so much interest in the church and we invited them to come to an activity yesterday to watch "Meet the Mormons" they absolutely loved it and it just turned out great!!:) also i think that that movie was sooooo good, i want to see it again! but cant:( itd be cool to see it in english aswell but wow it made me just love the gospel even more. i loved the story of Elder armstrong from sandy utah. it just really hit me hard:) 

I Love you all soooo much!!

Thank you for everything:)
