Happy Conference. we had a great time in conference here. we tried to bring everyone that we could, because its such a great opportunity. i learned a lot and received valuable answers and revelation to questions that i have had. including a great and comforting manifestation of the spirit that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God. i know that to be true and am grateful for the guidance that we receive through his counsel. things are going great here, we are teaching and finding. there is a family very special that are going to get married in Dec.( i hope i am around until then). about the package, i really love getting pictures. other than that its what ever you want, food, pictures, and letters. i am trying to send you pictures but the computer that i am using is not very good, i don't know if it is going to work, but i will keep trying. love you guys and will talk to you all later.
Love,

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,

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.
