Hello Family,

This week was pretty good, we had changes last night. And I left! After 6 months and one week in Las Nieves Right now I’m in an area called javiera carrera and I’m with Elder Riding from Rexburg Idaho. He is way sweet, I like him a lot, and I have known him pretty much my whole mission and we get long way good, I’m way pumped for this change. Guess who I am living with? Elder Vargas... again ha-ha. His comp is Elder Mientus from Pennsylvania. He is allowed to grow a beard because he can’t shave due to some skin condition he has. Its way awesome. It’s like working with Brigham young. Ya so President called me today and he explained what had happened. He told me that I could like take a Spanish test or something at BYU to get 19 credits of all A´s So that’s what he wants me to do to make up the credits I’m going to lose. I think he’s just trying to make me feel better cause I could get 19 free credits anyway and 15 more while I study ha-ha but o well ya I’m cool if you guys come down I’m thinking 3 days in Santiago is enough.. That will give us time to visit some people and just do whatever. Will you try and look for information about that test? He said I might be able to take it online, or I might have to drive up to Provo to take it.

That’s way crazy that there are 70 missionaries out. That’s like half of a whole mission just from one stake. That’s cool you saw Jeff, that’s really said though he didn’t go on a mission. That’s cool that Jake is teaching the sprinters and stuff. I bet he is doing really good. That’s cool the Lakers lost. That’s going to be a way good series. I bet the heat win, they are so stacked from what I've heard.

Ya that would be cool to go to SUU but I’m not sure. I want to play football but I’m not sure about that either. I would have to like dedicate my life to college football, I would do it though, I want to try out somewhere but we will have to see. Well thanks family for everything that you do! I love you. Have a good week1

Love Elder Whitney
