Well Heyro Der! 

This past week, was a true blessing. Kyle and Natalia, entered the waters of baptism and recieved the Holy Ghost as well. We were a little anxious for them, as is normal I believe, but they were (and are) ready to have this blessing and responsibility to stand as witnesses of God. The ward Clara Estrella is doing a terrific job of making them loved and at home. Actually, one of the biggest blessings we have seen is that WE now don´t sit by Kyle, rather, Franco and the other young men from the ward are developing a relationship with them.    We´re going the the temple as a mission the 15th of May, and we´re going to prepare them to go. Should be nifty;)

Elder Tait baptized Natalia, and his words were, ¨I baptized a piece of ancient Chilean History,¨ ha, with 80 years, Natalia isn´t young, but has still got a lot of life. It was a lot of fun, for Elder Tait, for them, and for the ward, to have that baptism, and many more are on the way. 

We´ve seen a huge blessing, as the ward is ever becoming more and more self reliant.      We´re just beginning to teach a reference from one of the bishop´s daughters, Taña, who has a lot of potential. We haven´t met her family yet, but if we can grow their interest in the gospel, it would be wonderful. 

But actually, other than Taña, we really need some new investigatores. Our Lessons have been falling through a little too repitiedly, and so we are reinstating an envigorized search for those who are ready to listen to this wonderful message. Please keep us, Elder Tait, Elderes Mortensen, Tlatelpa, Crider, Lythgoe, Ochagavia, and everyone else, in your prayers, so we can be guided to those whom God has prepared. 

God has given us so many wonderful tools to spread his gospel. At times, we shy from using them, we are not perfect, but there is a wonderful happiness from developing our spiritual gifts, blessing the lives of those around us. Alma 29:6-8 PMG 8-9. I'm grateful for the other Elders here in Ochagavia, for their enthusiasm and love for this gospel. Speaking of which! Tomorrow, our ward will recieve 2 more missionaries!!!!!! 

That´s it that´s all folks! 

Just kidding, also We´ll be available to do skype Saturday, Sunday, or Monday the 11th, 12th, or 13th of May. Is there a day that would be best for you all? Monday might be easiest for us, but in the end, IT´S ALL GOOOOOODDD!!;)

With love, 

Elder Tasssssssso!
