Well dearest everyone, 

FIRST OF ALL HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVELY LITTLE DARLING KATHERINE FLORIANNE NIELSEN WHO I WON´T BE SEEING FOR 2.5 YEARS WHAT WITH ALL THESE MISSIONS.  But I love her so much and can´t believe she is 19, that is all.

WEll, It is that time of year again.  CAMBIOS.  Transfers.  I will be staying right exactly where I am, BUT my lovely companion Hermana Lethco is leaving the beautiful city of Punta Arenas and flying out Wednesday.  My new companion is actually already here in Punta Arenas, but in a different sector.  Her name is Hermana Marín and is from Colombia.  I will send you all a picture in due time.  

Well, I had this nice lovely long email in my mind, but of course at this moment in time, I have exactly five minutes on the computer, so I will do my best and write all the rest the next time.  Also, the NEXT time my P-day will be on TUESDAY (only for this week)  because Elder Ballard is coming down to our mission TO GIVE A CONFERENCE AND EVERY SINGLE MISSIONARY WILL BE GOING!!!!!!! Except.... us.  Yes, so Punta Arenas is the ONLY part of the mission that will not be going to see Elder Ballard in this epic conference.  We will be seeing him via satellite.... ahhhhh well, that´s ok.  They keep telling the missionaries that they can´t ask to take pictures with him but we in Punta Arenas keep telling each other that we can take all the photos we want with him on the big screen.  So.... YA.  :)   Anyway, look for my next letter on TUESDAY of next week.  But only for that week.  

On other news, Roxana and Miguel are doing GREAT!!! That story for next time.

Also, profound thought that I had this week that I will fully expound upon the next week:  Miracles are true principles, correctly applied.

Fun fact of the week:  You have to be baptized to be a policeman in Chile.  I can´t even imagine the legal issues that would go down in the US if that was a thing there.

I love you all!!!!!!!!!  Pictures are of me and a less active we´re teaching and helping to read the Book of Mormon and me and my companion going to some famous little restaurant that apparently sells choris and leche de platano.  It was delicious
