Tropic of Capicorn and flooding

This a monument signifying the Tropic of Capicorn, which passes near Antofagasta.  The sun is directly overhead hear on December 21st each year





Elder Artura from Columbia and Elder McComb and myself as we have prepared the zone conference lunch



Chanaral was heavily damaged from the floods in April.  The downtown was wiped out.  This picture is of some of the devastation.





 Beautiful bay at Chanaral.  Note the mud bank in the background resulting from the flood.



(taken from an email they sent to me)
Dad has limited SPANISH but uses what he does have to make friends with people and ask them if they want to learn more about the Church. He is amazing and will be even more amazing when he is fluent with Spanish. IF you are in a book store and find books on learning spanish or helps, etc. buy and mail to us and we will pay you when we return. Antofagasta has only ONE book store and did not have much helps but we did buy one book with English Spanish and pronunciations. We do hope we are blessed with the gift of tongues. You can purchase an overseas mailer for about $15 that will hold quite a bit (no weight limit) Send to this POST office box. US mail is best way to send anything.

Chile Antofagasta Mission
Casilla de Correo 70
Antofagasta
Antofagasta, Chile

We love all of you and MISS you all tons. Put this address in the next blog and our phone number (801) 375-4390. I am over the MAIL for this whole mission and some day perhaps something will come in the mail for us. David said he sent something in the pouch (church pouch) but so far we have not seen anything. (Letters can go this way with a regular stamp but address to the church pouch (call David) on this.

Today at the ZONE conference (here in this city) the MAIL table at the end where we brought out the boxes and packages and mail was probably the HIT of the conference. I took a photo with Elders and Sisters crowded around (48) of them hoping something came for them. I hope to get help to take the photo I took, of this event off my camera and put on the blog so you can use it.

LOVE mom and dad in Antofagasta Chile
