We're staying in Collao!!
Whew, that cambio flew by and now we're ready to really roll the sleeves up and work. (We'll see if we actually end up rolling up the sleeves, though. It has been surprising cool for a Chilean summer.) Things are developing better with our sector and I feel good about the way we set the foundation for the work in Collao. Also, we have another pair of hermanas coming to live with us! They'll be working in the neighboring town.
We're seeing lots of miracles!! Did I even tell you all that Victor got baptized? Not here in Collao- he's from a way long time ago in Lirquen. Remember Mercedes' son, the one that was selling drugs and had to leave Conce to escape all his legal fines? He came back into town, we taught him, I left, they kept teaching him, and he did everything to straighten his life out and get baptized. Now he goes out with the missionaries all the time and is one of the most active young people they have. Yeah!!! Also, Nico and Mary are in the hospital right now, but haven't had little Erica yet. I'm dying, waiting to hear what happens!! I just want to meet that little girl...
I know that the Lord is aware of us and I'm so happy as a missionary!!! It really is the best thing I have ever, ever done. Just in case you were all wondering, the time is NOW. Is there a hurt or a grudge you've been holding on too for too long? Let it go now. Is there a doubt or a question you've been suppressing? The time to really find the answer and ask the Lord is now. Have you felt the need to share your testimony with a friend or a neighbor? Do it now! I just know that the Lord is hastening His work, hastening His blessings, hastening our progress as His precious spirit children. Let Him do it for you NOW!!!
I love you each so, so, much. I pray for you!!!

Jason Prussing and Juana Valdebenitto. Awesome menos activos that have quit smoking, drinking, started studying their scriptures every day, and are coming back to church. Love them!

Guess who I saw?? The Raiqueo family!!! A car pulled over and started honking at us, and turns out they were here for a checkup on their future baby. How fun!!
