So thanks for all the emails they are really nice to get. So this last week I still can't speak Chilean its crazy but its alot better than last week. We worked really hard this week and should have a few baptisms this month. I'm now used to dogs barking and growling at me and being called an old lady by the teenagers lol. But don't worry that's the gangster way to say whats up. I sent some pictures home a few were of our apartment thing we live in and the street we live on. WE live right next to a crazy cemetery its sweet but I still can't get myself to take pictures of it. Our zone went on a really crazy hike, its Brother Prince worthy or even more! It was almost straight up hill through the Chilean forest. lol Me and the tall elder both have asthma so it was definitely kicking our butts, but we made it to the top and it was all foggy and rainy so we hurried down. The only thing is that the way down is just like the way up but its powdery and crazy, we fell and rolled alot. We have good videos lol. its like a 6 mile hike of craziness! Then we had tacos made by our zone leader Elder Lopez, made Mexico style that's where he is from. I'm still trying to learn to like guacamole! ahhh but he is a great chef lol Then we got attacked by rain you have no idea how crazy of rain it was lol. Those are pictures from today lol. This last week we taught alot of lessons have a few progressing investigators. Its sweet I cant wait to understand and be able to speak then this place is going to even more fun! Sorry about all the typos I'm on a junk computer in Hualqui. Oh yeah we rode the train to! Trains are sweet! I'm slowly being able to eat alot of food, but we have had some nasty food and some fantastic food there is no in between. Hot nasty soups with beans and green stuff in the middle of summer... PORQUE? lol The cantaloupe is ridiculously amazing here though. yummy Things are either way way expensive here or way way cheap no in between. But I'm learning the get the best with my pesos! I do think its funny that water is more expensive than soda and juice? Explain that to me.... well pday is almost over and I have some studying to do, well I love you mom and dad and thanks for the emails and all the support and keeping me up to date. Jared and Jessica email me, Emily have fun with your laptop and listen to country music for me, Melissa I love you. Adam thanks for the letter awhile back I have re read it a few times. The church is true!
Love Elder Ward

So my comp is still typing so I guess I'll write some spiritual stuff since my first email is just fun stuff. Well I read Helamen and 3rd Nephi this week learning about our hearts and desires and prayers it is intense. We are teaching alot of people but Jessica is sweet, she is 20 her boyfriend is 21 and is a member, he is baptizing her on the 24th of this month. We also have alot of baptism dates but gotta get these Chileans to come to church. I got told my Spanish sucks by a woman then we taught her a lesson and I spoke well and she changed her mind, but it's true I really do suck, only when I am teaching am I good because the Lord blesses me so I can teach! lol Its why I'm here. Its really weird to see how much the church members look up to the missionaries here, so weird. We had 164 members there on Sunday thanks to our sweet reactivation plan! lol Which includes me bearing my testimony to them about the church and then my companion takes care of the rest! How sweet is that! Now I'm just tired of tying. Bye I love you all!
