Whats crackalackin so this is a pick of my friends javier and nancy. they are moving to chiloe soon but they are investigators of the chuch. way cool people for real. i have to write this really fast cause were going to go bowling in valdivia and we have to catch a bus in like an hour. i love to go bowling like most of you already know.> so i have 5 months in my misión. Pretty dang nuts.. my misión is almost ¼ over. I get to talk to you guys in less than a month on christmas. So i only live like 2 hours from the beach and i decided that im gonna go hit that place up for navidad. The weather better be nice though. This last week it was pretty dang nice here in los lagos. This place is pretty dang sweet man. In 2 weeks me and my comp elder castro and some guys in the church here are gonna go hike up to the top of this mountain in los lagos.. Theres some towers at the top just like on porter mountain back in show low, so im gonna climb up one. The last time i climbed that one in show low i was with styles and curtis i think haha and the wind was blowing like crazy and curtis and styles were just flying up that dang thing to touch the Light at the very top. I was scared to death but they just kept on chuggin along. Freakin locos.. Ha shoot man good times with my boys back home. Now im almost 20 years old and close to 200 pounds! I doubt i can get half way up the thing without basically passing out haha. > So my comp is from Bolivia. And yes he also knows english. I dont think i have laughed so hard as i have with this kid. Ha he was so skinny before his misión and now he says he has gained like 25 pounds. His cheeks look like a chipmunk man its awesome.. i call him Pocahontas cause he looks like an indian ha i love this kid. Hes hilarious. Its so funny to hear him speak english and say the word ¨freak¨.. He only has 3 months left in his misión so hes kinda lazy so i have to push him a lot. We taught a lot of lessons with investigators this last week so im happy with him. We actually taught more lessons then i did with elder poujol. Oh and we have another baptism next Saturday. Thats gonna be another cool experience fa sho.. but yeah my comp is funny and a good guy so dont worry about me. I can get along with almost anybody if they work. So i heard about the cougs just not being able to keep in the game. Thats a tough loss man but they must be looking pretty good for next year. I was thinking about how they were gonna do a lot this week. So i didnt get your email this week mom. Its all good though cause i finally got one from big jon! Thanks dad its only been like 3 weeks since ive heard from you punk. But i really laughed during your email.
So i will end this nice letter for all you all soon.. i missed having thanksgiving with you all..me and my comp were gonna buy a chicken and have our own thanksgiving but decided to just eat 2 empanadas each and call it a night. Did you guys have a sweet turkey bowl or what?? Whats the weather like there? Snow yet? I havent seen snow yet but i see a lot rain. It gets pretty cold but i have a lot of nice things to keep me warm. the christmas season just isnt the same here. Because its hot here during christmas time. Im gonna put some christmas songs on my ipod to listen too.. mom send old comp elder poujol a cool tie if you havent already?please For real. He did everything for me.. > Mom and dad i love you guys so much you have no idea. Im so blessed because of you guys. And because of the man that you have raised me to be. I cant wait to be able to talk to you on the phone. Continue to grow to love each other. Because your gonna be with each other for eternity. I know its real and that marriage between a man and a woman can last forever. Im so happy to have you both as my parents.
Well in the end i hope you guys know i think a lot and pray for you all. Im starting to get a little homesick but you guys probably already forgot about me anyways ha and its just the same without me there. I said i was a little homesick only because its gonna be my first christmas without my family. Theres nothing like the christmas season and time of year. I hope i can find a family to teach and share with during this time as we celebrate the true meaning of christmas and the birth of our savior. I know that there is only one true church in the whole World and that im a part of it. It amazes me everytime i think about it. Because there are millions of churches around the World. I dont think the members of our church always recognize how blessed we are to know the things that we know. There is a huge difference between feeling/thinking and actually knowing.. I know without doubt that Joseph smith saw God and Jesús Christ almost 200 years ago. I know the only reason i have been so happy and blessed my entire life is because im a member of this church. I cant explain how happy i am when i hear the people here in chile say that they ¨believe¨ the words that im saying are true. And then i see the smiles on their faces as they come to ¨know¨ that it really is true. i wish you could all see how happy they are.. I hope you can all feel the truthfulness of my words as you read them. I love you all..
Elder Nikolaus
