Hello All!

  Hi everyone! Hope all is well and that everyone had a nice valentines day (which by the way the also celebrate here). This week was a pretty interesting week. So it all starts on Tuesday...

  So on Tuesday we went and had breakfast at a members house to say goodbye to Elder Jorgensen. We had what they call panqueques. I've been told it's like crepes, but with manjar (like dulce de leche, don't know how to explain it, but its like a frosting that's sweet.) SO those were tasty, then we went to the bus terminal. So he met up with his other comp (don't remember if I told you but Elder Jorgensen went to a different part of Talca, a differnent zone though). So then I had to wait in the terminal for like 4 hours with the other missionaries who were waiting. So then at like 4:30 Elder Sarmiento and the others finally arrived. So then it was back to work as usual.
  So to fill you in on the new comp, his name is elder Sarmiento, he's from Ecuador. He has 10 months in the mission. He teaches differently, I just have to get used to how he teaches. Every missionary teaches in his/her own unique way, and I just need to get accustomed to how he teaches.
  So this week was pretty uneventful. We did a lot of door contacts, because we have a lack of investigators at the moment. But one big thing did happen this week... Jocelyn got permission to get baptized! So that was really cool. Then Juan Carlos started acting weird, he actually hasn't asked his moms permission. So now he's acting weird, like he wants attention or something, and says hes gotta think about it. It's understandable, but just the other week he was gung ho to be baptized. So were still working with Juan Carlos.
  But the good news is that Jocelyn got baptized this week! I'll include some pictures from the baptism. The other missionaries in the house were supposed to have one too, but she decided to go to the beach for Saturday and Sunday >.< So needless to say they were kinda disappointed.
  So yeah, that's basically what happened this week. Sorry this letters so short but I just don't have much more to say. The church is true, love you all, and keep writing!
