CALERA II

Hola a todos.  I am now in Calera II in the zone of Quillota again.  Its in the same stake as Cabildo.  My new companion is Elder Vitores from Ecuador.  He has about 1 year less than me in the mission.  I do miss Valparaiso a lot.

 

That’s so exciting that Jake is coming here.  I will be able to say hi and goodbye by the temple of santiago.  The same bus that drops us off at the temple Tuesday morning right before we go home will pick him up at the MTC and take him to the mission.  If he has any questions tell him to write.  Viña del Mar is the best.  I hope he goes to some of my sectors especially O’Higgins in Valpo.  Tell him to practice walking up stairs and hills to prepare him for Valparaiso.  I’ll also put in a good word to Presidente Diaz for him (haha).

 

This week has been pretty hectic.  Turns out when I was with Elder Diaz Monday and we went to the dentist he had to get a molar pulled and they put him under for a little so we had to get a drugged Argentino back to the pension Monday evening.  It was really funny. 

  

Also we are about to baptize an 87-year-old grandma here called Hilda.  She was supposed to get baptized Sunday, but she had a fever and couldn’t go to church.  Please pray for her. 

  

Gracias por todo.  I hope you have a good week and I really liked the conference talk by Elder Montoya where he told us to go the extra mile, smile, show compassion and invite others to church.  Have a good week and behave yourselves (especially you Mason).

con amor

Elder Gardner
