Dear Familia,
This week was fantastic!!!! The misión is fantastic!!!!!!!
This week we were able to see Fernanda enter the waters of baptism and start an amazing new life! Because her mom isn't a member, I was blessed to be the one to help her get all ready for her baptism. I got to watch her be baptized from the side of the baptismal font and see her sweet smile when she came out of the water clean as can be! I had the towel all ready for her and it was such a sweet and tender moment when she came out of the font and we embraced. She's been wanting this for so long and the expression on her face was priceless!
Also, this week we were blessed to have Patricio, our friend that was baptized in December, pass us the sacrament. He's such an amazing man, and it's such a blessing to see him progressing in the Góspel. AH I love missionary work! It literally is the most rewarding thing I have ever done!
Fun Facts:
The Chileans love to eat things with mayonesa...don't ask me why, but they eat it with everything! Salad, pasta, chips...everything! And after the baptism they had a bunch of food to eat, and of course, they had mayonesa, and luckily kétchup. Yes, you can bet your bottom dollar I introduced everyone to fry sauce and changed their world!
Also, whenever they take pictures they always say whisky (it's their versión of cheese). So when we took all the baptismal photos everyone was saying whisky, ha, it was pretty funny.
I love you all! Take care!

Baptism and service!
We're building a house from ground zero!
More service and me and mis niños.
Hna. Prates took the photo of Patricio and his neighbor Byron (cutest 3 year-old in Chile) when we were on our way to teach Patricio about the Priestood. I LOVE it!
The birthday party of Luis...everything was soccer and I'll have you know that I showed up everyone with my juggling skills in my skirt and church shoes!
