I´m glad things are going so well. That is some news :) [referring to Carlene and Brent planning to get married]. I´m glad Carlene is happy. I have some great news too. Javiera F******, a young women of 12 years entered the waters of Baptism yesterday the 15 of Febuary, 2009. She comes from a family of two brothers and a mother with the partner. Her older brother was baptised two years ago, and now we are working with her mother and to-be step father so they can get married and then be baptised. The family really is great and doing well complying with the commitments and everything.

It is really a joy to see people make these covenants with the Lord. To see someone truly begin to take the steps to find infinite joy is really something else. I am truly enjoying the work here. This is just about all the exciting news from this week, nothing else is near as important. I am doing well and am doing my best here. I have learned so much about faith and the Kingdom. I just finished Jesus the Christ as well and am going back through to study it with the scriptures. I hope to learn much more about the Gospel of Christ and the great Plan of Happiness of our Father in Heaven.

I truly am grateful for the opportunity to serve here among the peoples of East Santiago Chile. The work is rolling forth and there is no power that can stop it. I love all of you and pray that you are well, knowing that my Lord and Savior will always care for you and prepare a place for you in the Kingdom of our Father.

This is the family of Javiera with my companion and I. Her older brother is baptised the rest are not.
