Hello dearest everyone, 

Well I am officially out of Punta Arenas (6 months later), and in my new sector Alerce III in Puerto Montt.  Puerto Montt is huge (twice as big as Punta Arenas) and there are three companionships of missionaries in our Alerce branch.  It´s a branch, but there are 90-100 people attending, so we´ve heard that it´s going to be a ward soon.  I really quite love the branch already because I´ve noticed that everyone there works incredibly hard in their callings, and you can tell the difference.  My new companion is from El Salvador and her name is Hermana Estrada.  She´s very low-key and down-to-earth.  My new sector is gigantic (We have to take a bus for about 15 minutes to get to one part of the sector) and very green and beautiful.  We can see two volcanoes from our sector, Volcano Osorno and another volcano who´s name I have not yet learned.  

A very happy mother´s day to all the mothers, and especially mine, whom I love very much.  As a public statement, I would like to say thank you to my mother for making me practice piano, even though I said for about 15ish years that I would NEVER say that.  Thanks for making me practice the piano.  There, now all the mothers who might be fighting with their children about practicing the piano can print that out and use it as factual evidence.  

Anyway, I don´t have much time left, so I promise to have lots of good stories the next week, but I want to share my testimony with all who might read this.  I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the most important thing we have in this life and that the most wonderful feeling in the world is the Spirit.  I know this is the Church of Jesus Christ, and I have no doubt about that.

I love you all, and murch more next week!! Sorry it´s so short!!
