Hey Yall!
This week has been a doozy. We´ve had some success, but transfers are happening today and tomorrow. Elder Kamalu left to go be a zone leader in the south and one of the others in our ward did the same, so I´m companion to Elder Gomez for yesterday and today until Elders Garcia and Baltran arrive from where ever they are. Garcia is going to be my companion in Millahue, so we´ve got to get going on our work. The week has just been hectic with baptisms from the other elders in our ward and calls to get baptismal interviews done. Not only that, one of investigators is back and we just found out he´s moving this week. Fome (sorry, a word we use here). Also, the saddest news we received this week is that Pamela´s dad died. she got a call during church yesterday and then left early. We don't know when she´s coming back.

In our days together, Elder Gomez and I have been having little troubles here and there while shopping and whatnot because he only has one cambio more than I do (six weeks more in the mission). Don´t worry, we haven´t been ripped off or anything, we just haven´t been able to do some of the things we wanted.

The best news of the week is that Marcelo and Cecilia have been progressing! I think we´re going to invite them to be baptized this week. We should have 3 baptisms this cambio. I´m pretty sure. So, Elder Kamalu is gone and I´m going to have a completely new set of things here in Temuco. We´re working with a member who just got off his mission in Argentina. His name is Angelo.

We´re working hard and we had a really funny experience yesterday. While Elder Gomez and I were knocking doors, we knocked the door of an older fellow whose first words were, ´´I don't like you guys´´ We then talked to him and discovered that he just doesn´t know much about the church. Too bad he doesn´t want to know more. He´s convinced that someone in the USA is trying to use the church to take over the world. Yeah, I´m pretty sure we´re going to take over the world with the Gospel. I mean, that´s kind of our job. Talk to you all later!

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
