Haha I´m glad you celebrated for me! I´m sending some videos and lots of pictures so I´m keeping this letter short, but things are going well here! Today our zone hiked to the top of the volcano, which apparently is the most active volcano in the world. A 14 year old told me that though so I don´t know how reliable that piece if information is. It was awesome though. I found out I´m getting transferred to Punta Arenas tomorrow. That´s the one ALL THE WAY DOWN SOUTH near the penguins. Wish me luck! It will be very hard for me to say goodbye to Villarrica. I love the people here SO MUCH. The members, the investigators, our zone, everyone. I´m trying not to think too much about it because I don´t want to get upset, but I know that if I ignore it until after I leave I´ll regret not doing more to say goodbye. It´s hard because normally transfers are Wednesday, so all of the seminary students were going to meet me at the bus terminal at 6 am to say goodbye, but my zone leaders told me I have to leave tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4 in the afternoon to be able to make it to my flight on time. (To get to Punta Arenas, you have to fly, so I have to take a bus to Puerto Montt and then fly down to Punta Arenas) That means that all the plans I had made to say goodbye to everyone Tuesday night and Wednesday morning are gone. That is the roughest part for me I think because I know I´ll most likely never see these people again and they´ve really become some of my dearest and best friends. However, I guess being so attached to the people means that I´m doing the work right, so there´s a reason to celebrate! I know I´ll love Punta Arenas, I really was wanting to go there, and I´ve met my companion, Hermana Contreras, before in Osorno. She is really sweet and doesn´t speak any English whatsoever, so my Spanish will improve by leaps and bounds.
Love you all!
