Hey, am glad that everything is going great! it sounds like everyone is enjoying life. congratulations to Chad, what a stud. i knew he would win. hes turned into quite the jock, football, homecoming king, wow! jk i am really happy for you. we are teaching a few people here in this sector, some families very special but almost all of them are not able to get baptised because they are not married. we are working on that. thats one of the biggest problems here in Chile and i guess in all the world. i love to focus on the family here in the mission. thanks to you guys especially my parents its were my testimony is the strongest. and when i get the chance to find a family complete and the parents are married, i just want to shout for joy!! to open the gates of exaltation for the families, thats why i feel like i came on the mision. today there were changes, but i stayed here with the same comp. i will finish in this sector with 6 months, or maybe more, we will see. i am also very excited for conference this next weekend, its going to be great. if i count my mission by the conferences i have left, its a little scary. but theres still a lot more time left. im glad to hear that Dad lost weight, that will help a lot. im not going to lie i worried alot about the health of Dad and its always in my prayers. Hay que cuidarse! im working on the pictures, i still have to get them from that other Elder, because its not my comp, but is will get them. thank you for everything i love you all!!
Love,
Elder Nelson

it sounds like you are enjoying your time with the baby. its weird to think that she will be one year old when i get home. but thats how things go on the mission. i had a fun weekend here in chile. 18 de septembre is the independence day of Chile and i had to eat a lot of food. we also supported the ward and stake partys, helped out and brought investigators. it was a lot of fun, but i forgot my camera, but another elder is going to give me copies of the videos he took and of the pictures. we are teaching a few different families here that are really great, i love the people here in chile. love you guys and will talk to you latter.
Love,

Hey Hows it going? things have been going great here on the mission. it sounds like you all are having a great time and that things are really busy. well i just went over there to do some baptismal interviews of my district and we just had a lot of problems with the leadership of this branch, doing things that they didn't have authority to do, but everything is fine now. the church is still young in Chile and some times it gets complicated. its a good thing that its the Lords work and not of men, because if it was it would have failed long ago. we usually rent out houses from people that are not members. but most of the time its just where they can put us. also i got the package you sent, thank you very much, i loved the shirt. and i loved getting the pictures. that's what i really like to get is the pictures that you send. whenever you want to send more its fine by me. well i love you guys and am praying for you always.

well......i cant promise about the whole writing in my journal thing, but i am going to start again! :) well just to set the everyone straight, i will always be able to beat Chad up. its called older brother powers. you cant top it! it sounds like things are a little crazy for you guys right now. for me too. things have been crazy. we had a interesting weekend. An Elder in my district is in the hospital so i had to do like three spiritually draining interviews for baptisms. and I had to personally be sent over to put a branch presidente, the branch were the other Elderes in my district are at, in his place because he was doing things that were complete apostasy. he had a lot of pride and great was his fall when our mission president had to call and meet with him. the fun things that go on in the mission. I'm sure dad can relate and Kevin too. needless to say I'm really tired. well that was my week. i love the mission and i have really come to know of what Ammon was talking about in Alma 26:12, especially the first part. i love you guys and am very thankful for everything you have done for me.
Love,

Thank you so much for your emails, it sounds like you all are having a great time. we are having a great time here in the mission. On saturday we had a devotional in our mission.. one of the best that i have had. Elder Amado of the seventy, and Elder Kosta of the presidency of the seventy were there. i learned a lot of things and i know that we will be able to work better as a mission thanks to this conference. in the morning we hiked up a mountain, and i took pictures, so that i could have something to send you guys. its the same one as before but with different people. I'm still in the same area with Elder Garcia. the truth is we are just working hard, trying to do everything we can to find the people that are waiting for us. i love the people here and i love the mission. thank you all so much for your support and for your prayers. don't forget to pray for the people here in Chile.
Love,
Elder Nelson

Hey hows it going!! its great to hear from you, sorry the emails have been a little short. but we have been really busy. there are a lot of things that are changing in our mission. with the way we teach, how we work and basically everything. but it all comes from the prophet and is going to help our mission a lot. but we have had conferences and trainings like loco. we are teaching a few people, but things are a little slow with people progressing. but we are working harder than ever, and the animo(i cant remember what its called in english) is higher than ever. i don't really have much to report, and sorry i haven't been taking many pictures. but i will get better at that, until then i hope you can forgive me. i love you all and hope you have a great week.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
