hey everyone how are things going? we had a great week this week that ended with an awesome saturday. We had the baptism of Tatiana Ceballos. I baptized her and Elder Millar confirmed her. She is so happy! We went by on sunday night to visit her and see how she was doing. She was so happy to see us and to learn more. It is so great to be able to see the changes that happen when people apply the Gospel in their lives. In the evening, Elder Millar and I taught a big training for the whole district of Ovalle. We invited all of the presidencies of every organization of all of the branches and introduced them to Preach my Gospel. We had 80 copies of the manual delivered from Santiago for the training. We made kind of a Jeopardy game that went along with different clips from the movies that the missionaries use for Preach my Gospel. It went really well.Today we have changes! President Gillespie called us yesterday morning to tell us our changes. Elder Millar and I are staying together for one more change here in Ovalle! YAY! Well that is about what is going on.We found an awesome investigator this week named David. His is 66 years old and listened to the missionaries like 8 years ago but said he wasnt ready to get baptized. His wife died 2 years ago and he has been really lonely. He told us that he doesnt like drinking or smoking and its so hard to find friends that have the same values as him. He also told us that he absolutely loves the book of Alma in the Book of Mormon. He is a "dry mormon" i guess you could say...all he needs is to go to church and get baptized. :)Hope everyone is doing okay up there in the cold. Eat an ice cream cone for me ;)Love you guys! Take care and have a great week! TTFN Elder Nelson
