Elder Nathan Kapple: January 10th, 2011

¡Hola! ¿Como estan?
Thanks for your e-mails this week. I always love getting them. Things are good here. I went on divisions this week for 2 days to Santiago with Elder Richardson. I’ll attach a photo of him. Santiago is really cool and pretty but in the middle of nowhere. There are ruins there but they’re cleaning them up right now so we can’t go until the end of February. I talk more about what we did in the tape. Not a lot of our investigators are progressing so that’s frustrating but hopfully we can get a few here this week. This Wednesday are changes. We didn´t get a change so Elder Galán is going to finish his mission here and Dad, we do have Elder Christofferson and others coming next week to the mission. It should be really cool. It is just getting hotter and hotter here and hasn´t rained for a while. I wish it would because then it´s not so hot. Dad, that is our house on the Google map you sent. Ours is the little one in the middle and I’ll have to see if those ruins are over there next time were in that area.

For your questions Mom...
Mom, in regards to your speaking assignment in church – Sorry, I’m not going to write a talk for you. That one is all you. But here are some things that have happended. President Veirs really stresses the baptisms of families and how important it is to bring families into the church. It is so true. This gospel blesses families so much and families are one of the most important things in the gospel. Hermano Fabrigas, one of our investigators that we baptized on Christmas, has had the missionaries come for 18 years but really never had a desire to be baptized. But his family went to the temple in December and during this time he felt like that is something that he needs to do; go to the temple with his family. He just got the priesthood and is going to be a great and faithful member of the church. He´ll be able to go to the temple with his family in December. Also, another cool story is the one with Hermana Reyna. I talked a lot about her on the tapes but that’s another family and they barely have anything but they are really humble. You´ll have to dig through my recordings to get some more about her. Have fun writing a talk mom. Ii know you love to do things like this just like me.
I haven´t received the 2nd package yet but no one has gotten mail in a while. I’ll either get it tomorrow or in one week.

For p-day today we went golfing. One of the members is the grounds keeper so he let us go for free. The course is closed on Mondays so it was only us. We only did 3 holes. It was super hot.

Well, I hope all is good.
I love you all!!!
