Dearest family,

Hey things are going good here. So as you know the Soccer World Cup is going on and Chile just won about 10 mins ago and everyone is going nuts outside. They also won their first game against Honduras a couple days ago so they think they´re hot stuff and everyone´s celebrating a lot. Hopefully they don´t party too much so we can actually teach them. But its pretty cool. They take soccer a lot more seriously in South America obviously haha. Well I´m keeping myself pretty warm but its been raining a ton down here. It rained for almost 2 days straight last week and all the streets turn into rivers so its not always easy staying dry. But everything here is turning green and the Andes are covered in snow so Chile looks like a whole different place. Looks like we´ll be getting more rain, its pretty dark and gloomy outside.

So things here are still moving along. Our ward is amazing but the work is pretty slow. We lost four investigators because they weren´t progressing and didnt want to basically. So we´re still searching for those people that are prepared. The good news is that we have a lot of possibilities with people that we´ve met recently. We´ve had some amazing lessons with the spirit really strong but I´ve realized that just because we can feel the spirit doesnt mean that they can. The spirit can arrive at their heart but they have to let it in. And if they arent willing to they won´t feel the spirit. We had some amazing lessons were i could feel the spirit guiding our words but hopefully its because we planted a seed that other missionaries will be able to harvest. This is a good experience for me. I know that when we have harder times, we have to rely even more on the Lord. I´ve learned more about my abilities to grow here in Lo Campino and I am certain that this ward will have a good number of baptisms in July.

Well I´m glad you guys had a good camping experience and that mom could fight off those mountian lions. I hope dad had a great Fathers day yesterday. Thanks Dad for being a great example. Being a temple worker has made an impact on the lives of everyone in our family. I love you and miss you guys. Enjoy the Arizona heat! Chao,
