8/30/2010- Sorry guys not much to post lately!

Hello. I did get the package you sent. it was awesome. still have some cereal left. thank you and grammy for it all. as you can see from one of my photos, the cholula was put to good work this past saturday during our porrotada (where lots of beans are eaten) ha. the picture is of our branch president here in san fran. the other picture is of me and elder torres (from concepcion) we had divisions this week and it was awesome, the horse is in rancagua. and then there is the video of elder arrua, working out in the morning (yes, this is what missionarys do every morning) ha , but we are going to start running outside because its warming up and there is a sweet trail along the river by our house. but yeah, everything continues to go great.

my sector is quiet but its not pure country as it may seem, it has a little bit of everything, but i love it. we have found some awesome people this week and my view on doing contacts has changed completely. i seriously love it, i feel like i can really express my self with the people, teaching, and learning. its great. sadly as we have found really great people, really prepared people, we have an awesome lesson , but then after that, we can find them again. but its only been a few days but thats a long time when satan is doing everything to work against us, you really wouldnt believe the stuff that happens sometimes with the investigators that we teach. but the work continues well.

kara told me about the trip to powell, and how she was the only girl. thats a bummer that you took a ski to the face. you just need to take care of yourselves for a year longer. just so you know i already reached 10 months, this past saturday. 11 months sept 28 1 year october 28. yeah its crazy. and this change is already over here. next monday begins the new one. we should continue the same, but some thing tells me some weird stuff is on the horizon. not sure.

mom dad, family, once again thank you for everything, your prayers have been heard and answered, thank you.

time is flying everything is changing. and im so grateful to be here and to have you guys as my family.

much love

chase
