So as you all know, I am now training a
new Elder named Elder Santos! He is from.... (drum roll)..... Mexico! haha my
beloved son is Mexican! hahaha. This week was pretty crazy. The first couple
days I worked with the zone leaders because I was companionless. On Wednesday
at about 5:30am I left to Antofagasta by myself to meet my son. I arrived to
Antofagasta and had to walk to the mission office by myself!!! I have never
felt so alone and scared in my life haha. We were in the mission all day with
the newbies and I have been assigned to train Elder Santos. I am super excited
because training is a very tough thing to do and one of the most important
callings one can receive. President basically told us that the salvation of
these new missionaries is in our hands. No pressure haha! We worked with a lot
of members this week because I want Elder Santos to meet everyone. Ivan is
doing good and Katia and Carlos are both doing fine as well. I have had a very
sore throat this week and I lost my voice so I have been teaching everyone by
whispering haha. Yesterday we were trying to sleep but the whole city was
roaring because of the game. We kind of knew that Chile won because of all the
noise we heard outside. Now I can rub it in everyones face! Take that
Argentina! Anyway, there really isn’t much more to report because we only
worked in our sector for a couple of days this week. Next week on the 4th of
July, the whole zone of Calama is going to travel to Antofagasta to meet the
new mission president. I will try to write more next week. Here are some
photos!
(I am still trying to get the photos of
Kermit´s baptism)

Elder Morales just sent these to me. Here
are some photos from Kermit´s Baptism! I forgot to tell you guys but two days
ago Kermit came to Calama and was in our bishop’s house. Bishop called me and
told me to go to his house right away so I did. I got there and Kermit was
there! I got to talk to him for a while and he was super happy. He told me how
he was going to talk to President Dalton to see if I could travel to
Antofagasta to see his baptism hahaha. It was really cool that I got to see him
again. Anyway, gotta go... see ya later dad. Love ya!
