30 December 2013 - The Last Letter

Well,

This past week has been pretty good, the members held the farewell for me on Friday and we had a pretty decent week. We have some awesome investigators that should be getting baptized this next month, and we also have some potential investigators that should be good. It has been pretty cool.

Well, it looks like C was my last baptism. He is awesome and is learning and growing a ton. It has been really cool to have been able to be here to teach him. He is super spiritual, and he really likes to learn about the gospel. It has been an inspiring experience to be with him.

Well, I am not really sure of what else to say. We will be talking a lot about everything this Friday. However, I forgot to mention before, but in the packet to return home it mentions that I should get a tuberculosis test to make sure that I haven´t picked it up on my mission.

I haven´t gotten the package yet...  (*This is the Christmas package we sent to him in November.  Luckily, it didn't have any expensive gifts, just fun things for the elders to enjoy during the holidays.) If the delivery man doesn´t need to see my identification then the other elders can get the package. If they can´t pick it up then they can tell the person that I don´t live there anymore, and hopefully it will get sent back to the states, if not then it might get destroyed....

Thanks for the phone numbers, I am sure that they will come in handy. (*We gave him our new home number so he can contact us if necessary during his travels home.)

Thanks for arranging the release. I couldn't have picked a better time than on the way back from the airport. I was actually hoping that that is when we could do it because I would have felt kind of awkward still being a missionary without missionary things to do.

So far with the suitcases I am doing well. I only have one filled up, and pretty much the only things left that I have are my clothes. So as for weight, I highly doubt that I will go over, and as for space, I am thinking that I will be good. However, we will see what happens as I finish up.

Well, today we visited Santiago as a district. It was really cool and we were able to see a special and unique celebration that they had there. 

Well, I think that that is all for now. Thanks for everything and see you soon!
