Hi Mom and Dad, how is everything?  How´s the new car?  I loved the photos of the Temples. I love you guys so much and I am so grateful for the example of my family to the world.  How long till Kelly receives his Call?  Guess what?????  I moved areas and cities!!!!! I am now in Tarija in the area called Panamericano 2. I have a Latino companion too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   He is super cool. Elder Trinidad from Lima, Peru.  We also live with the Zone Leaders and they are Latinos too.  Elder Pacheco from Colombia and Elder Ynoñan from Lima, Peru.  This is the first time I have had a native speaking companion. It was an hour flight from Santa Cruz to Tarija. Tarija is south, almost touching Argentina and Paraguay.  It is such a beautiful city and is all that everyone ever talks about as an Elder or Sister. Everybody wants to come here because it´s like a paradise.    I got your package just now.  Love you so much. Pictures of the trip and my new area.  That is a big Turantula that we killed in the house.  The weird fruit thing is coco, Chocolate. Dry it out in the sun, smash it, add some sugar and you have natural chocolate. Getting on the plane to fly to Tarija. This is my companion in our area that overlooks the city.  This is me with a Book of Mormon in Portuguese. I´m learning some Portuguese as well as Spanish.  This is me standing in a doorway, not on tip toes.  A cool Bolivian bag
