Time keeps going by more and more quickly. As for Eric I´m sure he with be all right. This last week things have progressed really well in the sector. It was a little difficult to get to teach a lot of people this last week though. Chile on Saturday completed its 200th year as an independant nation. For three days straight everything was closed by law except for a few things and public transport. We ate a lot but didn´t get to teach much. We found a great new this last week too. We had made a contact with someone a while back and we had gone back to talk some more, then their dad came out and told us to come in. He started saying he had a lot of doubts and descrepancies with organized religion. As we began talking he began to learn that we believe just about all the same things. He even brought up the scripture in Genesis that says "let us make man" to say that Christ participated in the creation as well. I have never met someone that knew as much about the gospel as him without being a member of the Church. Nearly all of the things that he didn´t agree with are restored truths. We had set up an appointment with him at the Church on Thursday but he couldn´t go, and so he went to the Church on his own, went in and told the members that he wants to keep studying with us and that he wanted to set up another appointment for another day. It is amazing to see how the Lord prepares His children to receive the gospel. Ruby is also close to getting baptised and is ready, she just feels scared still. Well, I love you all and hope that everything continues to go well. Have fun!
