Querida familia,

Thanks for the letter dad. So sounds like the volcano is still erupting but we don't see anything from here. Everything here is about the same. Hopefully the forest fire doesn't burn up all of Arizona. But I hope that the family is doing good!

Here on the island, things are moving forward. We're doing a lot of activities with the young men and its helping a lot. Two young men (angel and roberto) went out to visit a less active young man and he said that he will come to church this week. Also we're still teaching Jorge, who is the only non-member from his family. He came to church on Sunday with his whole family and we taught him yesterday. It was a spiritual lesson and he talked about how he knows that his family wants to get sealed and he needs to get sealed with them. He said he doesnt want to feel pressured to get baptized, but with a smile. We're going to teach him again this week and I know that he's going to feel ready to get baptized soon. We're still teaching Melito and her family but they don't feel ready to come to church. So we're still praying so that the Spirit touches their hearts and so that they can come church. I've realized how simple it is to know that what we teach is true. You just have to offer a simply sincere prayer. God always answers faithful prayers. I've seen it time and time again. Its amazing how the Spirit works. If they don't come to know that the church is true through the Spirit, then is doesn't come from God. Also on Sunday, Angel brought another young man called Diego to church that is about 12 years old. He said that he loved it and is going to come every week. We're hoping to get to know his family better and Angel, who just got ordained a priest, wants to baptize him. We're also building a stronger relationship with an inactive family that has two kids that arent baptized yet. Their mom had an accident and had to get shipped to Santiago by plane because she was sick. Before the plane left, she asked us to give her a blessing. So we went and gave her a blessing and everything turned out ok. She got back to the island yesterday and about a week ago we called her while she was gone to see how things we're going and she was so happy we called. So little by little we're gaining a lot of trust from the members in the island and I know the Lord has great things planned for this little island.

So yesterday we went fishing for Pday and we took out a pretty big fish that weighs about 5 pounds I bet. I prepared a dish called civiche, but I dont know what its called in english. But its a dish with raw fish, lemon juice, mayonaise, avocado, pepper, and... I think thats about it but its amazing! I'll have to make it for you guys when I get back.

Well I'll talk to you guys next week. I love you guys. Les amo y les extraño. Pórtense bien esta semana. Chao!
