Hey family! Whats going on? That's pretty crazy that people are getting married that are Jared's age! Its good to hear that the beautiful Vegas weather is still going on, I miss Vegas so much. These last few weeks have been a tough time but the Lord has helped me alot. This last week I have been able to understand and start speaking alot, so just more time and work and the language will come. We took a trip to Concepcion today, its alot better than it was last week. Alot of building are going to have to come down and alot of stores are starting to open up. If we don't get hit by another big earth quake things should be back to normal in a month or two. I have not been taking alot of pictures, I just don't want to. I have taken some but not more than I need. And I dont need alot of pictures of this. We are back in Hualqui though, its me Elder Denis, Garey and Godfrey. We cleaned the house the first day we got back, and a day or two later we got water and power, the only thing is alot of water pipes and sewer pipes are broken, but they keep it all on anyways. So you will be walking down the street and water will be coming up out of the ground, its weird. Last night we thought for sure another quake was going to come, cause everything cut out like power and cell service all at once. But no we were good just more stupid tremors, I am so ready for the earth to stop moving lol. We have food don't worry, all the big stores are done for but all the little stores out of peoples houses around our house are still up and going. So we have had alot of bread, guacamole and aji sandwiches and don't worry they got the coke a cola going again to. WE are not in Chig anymore so we don't get to help with alot of the big service any more. Once your out in Hualqui the mission president makes us stay there. And no I didn't get to keep the jersey, some elders took them though. Anyways, I have been able to study alot and learn alot this week. Since sleeping hasn't been the easiest lol Oh and if anyone makes fun of the toilet bucket thing mom bought, don't! Its alot better than plastic bags. But we have water again so we are set! Just people are freaking out about another big earth quake that might hit especially after last night. I'm not to worried though we are in a good house, it only has a few cracks in it nothing to big. Alot of things opened today like the postal office! I sent off a few letters I hope they get there before mothers day! they should. I also went and did alot of my visa papers today, the men were mean and the women were very nice to me. It still amazes me how much bigger gringos are lol and I'm only 19. I have lost weight but not to much, I still weigh 76 kilos so I have only lost about 6 kilos (13lbs) . But for a while I was worried there. I hope all is well at home and that my bro will start to email me, I emailed him again, I miss him alot I did only get to see him for a week. I hope his friends are not making him to busy. Well I love you all and I will work hard this week, every week it gets a little better. There is a line here at the email place in Hualqui so I have to go soon. But just know I am safe and that I will have lots of stories to tell. Bye

Con amor, Elder Ward
