Last night president called at midnight and said that I would be going on an exchange for a week  in Los Andes... with Elder Dallin Hart... it was a little unexpected but pretty sweet right?

We had Bernardo's baptism this week. It was awesome. He was so ready. He married a member four months ago, and was baptized this week. It was really great. 

We also had another baptism in the ward yesterday. She said that a couple of weeks ago she had considered suicide, because she had suffered a lot of really terrible things. A couple of days later, the missionaries showed up in her door like angels to her. She immediately accepted their visits because she'd always felt a desire to enter the chapel, but it had always been closed when she passed. About three weeks later, she was baptized. She bore a powerful testimony. She said that the gospel filled the emptiness inside, and she's never before felt so loved.

The church is true folks.

Elder Garrett (CHILE)

P.S. Tomorrow we leave Los Andes at 5:30 AM to listen to Elder Holland in Santiago.... so sweet.
