This has been another great week for Kyle.  Transfers happened today but he is going to stay in the same area and with the same companion which all brought a great big "YES!" from him.  He loves the people he is working with and excited to have a little more time with them.

Last week the branch had a huge talent show and to thank all those that helped out he decided to try his hand at making Cinnamon and Orange rolls for them.  Pretty brave if you ask me, but he claims that they were awesome.  Here is a picture of him sharing the results.

He was also able to share his testimony with an investigator about the Plan of Salvation this week.  There was a moment where she shared a very tender experience in her life and Kyle and his companion were able to share our beliefs about children and their parents being reunited.  Here is a little excerpt from his letter about this teaching moment.

" It was a really neat experience because when I was talking to her about this, my Spanish seemed to be perfect just so that she could understand what I was saying... That's happened like 2 times in my mission and it's awesome when it does!"

He felt that the Spirit was truly able to touch her heart that day.

Here are a few more pictures of his week.

After almost a month here at home, Kyle has now returned to Chile.  He is healthy and doing well and so happy to be back on his mission!  While home he had some wonderful experiences attending the temple with family and friends, meeting his newest nephew, being part of the excitement as his cousin opened his mission call to Brazil and even being able to teach a lesson at the Marine boot camp in San Diego, just to mention a few.

He is now serving in a new area called Colina which is close to the Los Andes area where he was before he came home.  He was invited to lunch at the Branch Presidents home where the family has several pet ducks, rabbits and dogs which Kyle thinks is the coolest thing ever, so below you will find a picture of him with his newest friend:)  He is excited to meet more of the  members in his new area and hopes to be able to share his testimony with the people in Colina.
