Some Changes

Hey :)

So, back to two.  We sent Elder Larsen off today.  He was a great companion and will be sorely missed.  We`re going to be quite lost these first couple of weeks without him as the sector is really large.  I really enjoy this sector, though, and would love to be able to stay here for quite a bit longer.

We had two wonderful baptisms this Sunday and the Spirit was palpable. One is Diana, a 26 year old from Peru who has lived here 6 months, and the other is Bruno, a 15 year old son of a less active family.

I`m not doing very well at all emotionally, but life goes on....

From today`s President`s Letter:

"You might also enjoy the following words from a very recent email to Elder Willes from his brother in Paraguay:

P.S. Evidence the Book of Mormon is true – Our mission just opened up a new area where a bunch of Guarani Indians live.  Long story short – the chief came to the missionaries and told them they had to leave because they stole the story of The Book of Mormon from them.  After a few days of talking to them, however, they realized that it was in fact the same story (same names and everything) [but not a false story, so] every member of the tribe was baptized — 487 [of them] last week.  What more proof do you need?"

Photos from this past couple of weeks, most from the going away get together on the 24th floor roof of recent convert Cecilia`s apartment building (learning how to dance la cueca (National Dance) at one point) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ypw1iwbzjl2gysx/-F-zcjYpnK

Sorry for the short letter again,  I`m going to pre-write next week's.

Mucho Amor
De Chile
Elder Parry Harrison
