Hola!

Everything is good here. I didn't feel anything before. I am glad to hear that our family is okay in Chile, I was a little worried, but luckily nothing serious happened to them.
There is an Elder Stewart here whose good friend is entering the MTC this month (March). He will be serving in the Fresno, CA mission. His name is Elder Haddock, I believe.

There are a few pretty cool things that I like about this area. The hills are a bit tough every now and then, but from the higher ones I can see the ocean, which is pretty cool; it's actually not that far away. Also at night the city lights are pretty cool as welll. There is a Bahai? temple at the top of one of the nearby hill. (egg shaped)

It has rained a couple time in the last couple weeks. My companion got a little sick, and it's been tough for him, but I think we are doing some good here. The mission president sent a letter to all the Bishops, and we were present in the ward counsel meeting. It looks like the leaders are ready to be more active in the ward. Previously there wasn't much going on with them, but they are all apparently willing to be more active...

This week went by pretty fast. I need a haircut. This CPU doesn't seem to have a USB port, so I might not get to send any pictures...

I am about to start Revelations (Apocalipsis)... In my area we can't really contact after 6:30 or 7 pm so we often watch movies (church related) with members, preferably less actives. I mentioned before I have about 40 dvds of church movies like the Legend of Johnny Lingo, Beauty and Beast: A Latter-Day Tale, Suits on the Loose, Joseph Smith: the Prophet of the Restoration, The Work and the Glory 1,2,3, etc....

Don't forget that Dear Elder works too (thanks Jon).

Well, I guess I will talk to ya'll next week....
Love,
Elder Niendorf
