Companion: Elder Berrios

This week was a great one. It flew by. I can´t believe that we are in the last week of the change. It is flying by and now I only have one change left here. Last week we finished up the conferences on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and then Thursday we did and intercambio, Friday Elder Berrios had to go to the doctor for his foot (he hurt it a few months ago playing soccer. He was on the national reserve team before the mission so he wants to go back and play and have his foot well) (we are going back tomorrow too.) And we had a ward talent night on Friday and it was the best, really fun!

But Saturday and Sunday were the best days of the week. We did intercambios again and I was able to go to CORONA SUECA again! I worked with the Elders from that ward and it was awesome! I went to church on Sunday and was able to see EVERYONE and the ward is doing great. It was really fun for me to be there and to see everyone from my first sector, its been a while since I was there. The bishop is new (the old first councilor) and all the leaders changed positions. It was cool to see. And it was especially fun to see Christopher and Yoseline and mi mamita Hna Gomez! That was a real treat. Chris and Yoseline might come to the states for a month or so next year. He is doing great, he graduated and is now a pharmacist and is making some good money so they are going to buy a department next year and everything- awesome!

Other cool story before I end. A missionary, Elder Johnson, just finished his mission in Osorno and he was in the same group as Elder Mortensen! He was with a couple of Elders from my mission while he waited for his parents to come pick him up. We realized that we were in the same ward in BYU, he just lived in the other floor so that was cool too, small world. But he showed me his pictures of his mission and the south and it is absolutely gorgeous- I fell in love and I am going to have to make a trip back down here to go backpacking with Elder Perez someday... we are actually already planning it=)

Anyway, I love you all thanks for everything! have a wonderful week!
