Dang!

I had a good long email all done and I hit send and it said my session timed out and I signed in and it had already disappeared my email. So this will be really short.

Suffice it to say that we worked with the Army more on Friday Saturday and Monday, and I spent a couple days with the Dentists, Doctors Lemon and Christensen. They're old, and they know each other from Vietnam and they're probably retiring from the Army after this. And it turns out that Doctor Christensen knew Grandpa Wayne. Small world, eh? And tomorrow is the last day of that adventure. 

Saturday, we baptized Vicente, and it was spectacular. He's really going to help the church out here. And due to some clever interview scheduling, we confirmed him in Sacrament and ordained him a Priest in Priesthood Meeting on Sunday. After church on Sunday, we (the leaders of the church and their families, and a few friends) went to Paso Yobai to give them suggestions and help them out and support them a little. There were too many people and not enough vehicles. Picture 15 people in the back of one pickup, and you'll understand what I mean. On the way home, the front wheel lost some nut (not a lug nut, a different one more inside) and fell off. No one got hurt, but it was an hour in fixing it and a long ride home. An adventure we won't soon forget. But it all turned out all right in the end.

Today we found out about cambios. I'm leaving Villarrica for Ytoror—, which is closer to the city, but not in it. My new companion will be Elder Byvie (I don't know if that's how it's spelled). And Elder Kennington is getting a Uruguanyan that came with me. So, that's fun. I need to pack and say goodbyes and take some pictures and stuff. It'll finally all be back to normal by next week. I hope.

Sorry about the email, the one I tried to send before was much nicer and more informative, but what can ya do.

Thanks for everything, and I'll talk to you later. Good luck with basketball, and keep those grades up, and tell everyone I said "ÁHola!".

I Love You Alls!!!

Love,
Josh
