Impensable

Hey All!!!
Well things here in Santiago are heatin up! this week Ive taken off my sweater and was almost forced to pull out my short sleeve shirts! I dont know dad, that whole Global Warming thing is making more sense the hotter it gets, haha! Speaking of which, I have decided to dedicate this email to my awesome dad, who is turning 35 this friday. Dad, I dont know why it took me so long to realize what an awesome parent you are. I think it has kind of been an Adam and Eve necessity sort of thing. Just like it was necessary for Adam and Eve to fall to recognize how good they had it in the Garden of Eden, I had to come all the way to Chile to realize what a great father I had. So happy birthday dad, I hope all your wildest dreams come true and you get my present to "That Special Someone". :)
Anyway, things in the mission are coming along great. Franchesco came to church all by himself on Sunday, and Im pretty sure that he will be the first to get baptized, even though when we first started out, he didnt believe in God or anything. Now he tells us that he knows that baptism is important but he feels that he needs to be more prepared. It almost amazes me the changes that some people make for something that they feel is true. Im also amazed at the lives that the gospel touches. Sometimes its those that we least expect that are ready to hear the gospel. Thats why its so important to give EVERYONE an opportunity to hear the gospel, no matter who they are. Sometimes we are afraid to talk to people because we dont know what to say or we are afraid of being embarassed, but when we really understand what we are doing, it seems silly. When God asks us: "I sent you in the path of that man that needed the gospel, and you didnt do anything, why?" We must respond with "I was embarassed, I didnt know what to say."
I learned a lot of things on my mission, and I know that although I am still the same kid I was when I left, I grew up. I know that we have a crucial role in this life and we each have a divine destiny to complete. I hope that we can all find the opportunities to find that one person who is waiting for us. One of the hardest things is accepting the will of God, but learning to just slide and know that he will take care of us is all the comfort I need to keep going and preach the gospel to all those who will listen to me. I know that He will catch me if I fall, because he knows that I have confidence that He is there for me.
Thanks for everything, guys!
Con Amor,
