happy weddings

Wow sounds like everyone has had a really busy week this week with lots of activities! That is so cool that you got to see elder holland! I hope everything went well with the flowers and everything like that. We have had a pretty eventful week as well. This change there were 20 new missionaries that arrived to our missions. The interesting thing is that pretty soon they will be closing the MTC in Chile so we have already started to receive missionaries from different MTC's all around the world. We received missionaries this change from Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. We are pretty excited though because that means that we could open up like 5 sectors that had been closed! We got to see a lot more of Santiago as well because the drivers of the vans that took us to president's house went right through the heart of the city. It is pretty cool actually.  

Mercedes is doing really well. She had her baptismal interview this Tuesday and it was great because president woodward actually got to do it for her! So he has been pretty involved in her whole process. She is doing so well and just wants so badly that her family also starts going with her. Actually this sunday her daugther named Rocio went with her. So that was great.

We have also been teaching a little family that is really fun. Named Mauricio and Gloria. They are just funny but it is fun to teach them because they dont really have that much of a religious background and so everything that we teach them is pretty new to them! They are really loving it. Hope that this week is the best and that everyone has a good time at all the weddings this weekend!

P.S. I have a new companion, his name is Elder Gallardo he is from Mexico. I am pretty excited to start working on my mexican accent before I head back home. Also for sure we will be eating some mexican food.
