The beginning of another change...

How is everything back home?  Today is the beginning of another change period.  And like I said before, I am officially staying in the same sector with my same companion.  That also means that when the mission divides in 3 weeks, I will be staying in the Chile Rancagua Mission instead of going to the Chile Santiago South Mission.  That also means that I won't be going back to Santiago (which probably makes you happy haha).  But I honestly love it here.  I feel like I am really able to help the people here.  I also really love working with Elder Saucedo.  He is a really great missionary and friend, possibly the best that I've had here in Chile.

I decided to send some pictures of some things that have happened recently here. 
First of all, the sister missionaries had a baptism a little over a week ago, where a young man named Cristhoper (yeah that's really how his spells it) that we had helped as well got baptized.  It was a really great experience. 

I don't know if I told you all, but tomorrow we are going to be receiving sister missionaries in our branch.  So... we have been working on getting the brand-new house ready that they will be living in.  For example we had to build their beds and their closets for them.

Finally, we also got a bench for lifting weights from a less active member that we are working with.  So now we are able to work out a bit better haha.  It's really fun to do that with my comp in the mornings and when we have a little free time at night before going to bed.

Well I think that's about all for now.  I hope all is going well at home, and I will talk to you all soon.
