Hello dearest everybody, 

Another lovely week here at the end of the world.  It´s a different world down here, we´ll knock on a door and ask if we can share a message about Jesus Christ with them and a good amount of the time they´ll invite us in, give us something to eat and listen to our message.  We taught 23 lessons this week.. more than I´ve taught in my entire mission.  I don´t even know... it´s really rather magical.  The challenge with this is that we have so many people to visit that it´s hard to discern sometimes if they are really going to progress or just friendly and curious. I love it.  I meet at least one borderline crazy person every week.  This week I met a possibly drunk, very anti-American man and we tried to teach him the first lesson.  My companion and I decided it was a story for our journals.

Marina also had her baptismal interview this week and after was so incredibly happy.  She says she feels so different and she really has changed in the few weeks that I´ve known her.  It is so wonderful to see people change purely through the knowledge that they have a loving Heavenly Father and that he has a plan for them.  

We are also teaching another investigator, Catalina, who is 21 years old and she´s incredible.  She reads everything we give her and she says she´s praying for an answer that everything we´ve taught her is true, but that she feels like part of her answer has already arrived.  She doesn´t come from a great family home and she says all she wants in life is a happy future family.  Perfect, that´s our specialty.  We explained how the gospel of Jesus Christ can help the family stay together and be happy and she says she loves it.  

My companion are also teaching a free piano class in the church and we´re going to start a free english class this week.  Nobody here teaches piano for a reasonable price, so you have to be pretty rich to afford it, so a lot of people are really interested.  

We also had zone conference this week but of course there is not time to write about that, Also I found trees in my sector!! it turns out since we´re on the outskirts of the city, our sector extends out into the hills off into the ocean.  We did a bit of exploring and left a pass along card at a very remote home way back in the hills.  

I love you all and I love my Savior!! As we lose ourself in service, we will gain so much more than we ever thought possible!!
