Hola familia,
I`m glad you got my card, I wanted to put a picture in it but I didn`t have time so I figgure I will be home in no time so I will just show ya when I get there. We had to be at the house at 10:00, so we had a barbeque on the grill, it was real good. We bought about 40.00 dollars worth of meat(Ribs, chicken wings, etc.) for the of us in the house. We also made shmores, it was fun because Elder Montalvo had never eaten one so it was fun to eat Gringo food again. I also burned a tie, for one because it is New Years and everyone in Chile make monkeys stuffed with newspaper and dressed with the clothes that you used in the year before, so you are killing the you of 2009 and welcoming in the you of 2010, it`s a crazy tradition and I didn`t have enough newspaper so I just burned a tie, more practicul that way. We watched the firework show and ate some more and by the time that 2:00 came we were so tired from eating so much so we had no problems falling asleep, even though there are people drinking and partying with music all night long. Oh by the way, it is so much fun teaching drunk people. je je :) The next day, we woke up from the sound of Elder Montalvo throwing up, those Latino stomaches cant handle an american barbeque. He had never thrown up in his mission and he leaves in two weeks so it was real funny. Then all morning long we played ¨Guess Who¨and UNO, it was so much fun to just relax. I miss those days playing games with the family.
I want to go to all the temples when I get home too, I was talking to Elder Haacke about how we should do that when we get home. It will be awesome when they complete Brigham City, have they started that temple? That was so cool to see my friend Rex, he is such a stud and even more bald then before, I love that family. I became really close to Rex and his little sister that is also in the foto. Those were some really fun times. You are gonna have to tell him congratualtions for me and tell him to come to my wedding, that is if I am that lucky to find a wife. Oh and yeah you can put me as a EFY counselor, it will be fun having fun with the kids and teaching them a bit. Anywho, that is what has been going on in my life lately, thanks for all you do. Dad I am praying for you and the buisness every night, so keep me posted. I love you all, peace out and con questo. :) je je Elder McKAY B. JACKSON

Jaunuary 19, 2010 HIVES, HIVES, HIVES!
Hola padre mió, ¿como estas? That was an amazing sunset; I can’t believe that there is snow. It looks so crazy; I forget the feeling of snow and the feeling of coldness. It is going to be great because I will get back from the mission and will be able to adjust to the temperature because I leave from heat in Chile and will arrive with heat in Utar.
I had another visit to the doctor this week, it was crazy. Last Sunday I ate tacos with a family, everything normal right, well I put a hot sauce on. Well the next morning I woke up itching and looked at my arms and I had hives, like I always had before the mission. Well it got worse and worse until Monday night it started going up my neck and cutting off a little circulation so I was having hard time breathing and my ankles were huge. It was as if I had just been burnt by boiling water. So a member took me to the emergency office and they gave me a shot in the butt and then I went back home went to bed, woke up the next day and I felt so much better. It took until Saturday to go away completely, so I was in the house reading a ton. I was able to read all of Moses and all of Genisis and learn about all the prophets like Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Moses. It was awesome, I didn`t know anything about them before. So it was a crazy week, they tell me it was something I ate and I have a crazy allergy to it, so I think it was that hot sauce or something. But the great thing is that I am still alive and kicking J My investigators Alvaro and Yanet are going to be married this Friday, then their baptism is Saturday. They have asked me to baptize them and also their 9 year old son Jean. I am so excited, this will be my first family and it is the complete process too. Also Oscar, my first convert will complete one year as a member this week so everyone is telling me that he is going to the temple with his family. I am so happy for them. Also we just found another family, a mother and her 8 year old son that accepted a baptismal date on the 6th of February. They went to church and received an answer that this is the true church. I LOVE CHILE!!!!!
Well transfers were today, I am staying here and my companion Elder Haacke will finish his mission in one month, so he is excited. You will have to go to his homecoming. Anywho, I love you all so much. Have a great week and we will be talking.
