yep. the fleas are back. with a vengeance. the other day i counted more than 20 bites on my hands and wrists. it{s pretty gross. but life goes on!

this week was bacan! "the trio" is doing great things! we are going to have a baptism this week! his name is cristian, and he´s 17. he´ll be entering the military in a few weeks, but he wants to get baptized and get the priesthood before he leaves. we´re really excited for him. also, we met with SERGIO! oh man, it was so good to see him again. i really do feel like he´s my little brother. we had a short lesson with him in the plaza/park across from his house, and we talked about ether 12 - faith and miracles. with us he learned that miracles are extraordinary events, and are part of the gospel of jesus christ. i shared with him that it truly was a miraclethat i was there teaching him. i was supposed to stay in victoria, but because of  a last minute change i was able to come to temuco, and of all the places i could go in the mission, i ended up within 15 minutes walking distance from him. NOT a coincidence. the spirit was SO strong, and he said that he would pray and ask what it is that god wants him to do, and that if god tells him to get baptized, he´ll do it. the great thing is, god WILL help him realize that baptism is the only way he can accept the atonement of christ and receive the holy ghost. we{re seeing him again tonight and i´m of course very excited.

bummer, out of time. but at least you´ve got a bunch of photos to look at! i love love love you, and hope that you´ll take time this week to watch a conference talk or two, and make an effort to apply the teaching of our modern profet and his apostles. i know that as i´ve read my notes and prayed about the messages, i´ve received some really special personal revelation. the same can happen for you :)

con mucho amor,
