¡Hola Familia!  I have like 10 minutes to write, and I have to email everything that´s been happening!  Ok First of all, I didn´t email on my BIRTHDAY YAYAYAY, because I was sitting on a bus all day :( .  Yep I got transferred to a really small town just outside of Antofagasta, it´s called Mejillones and so far it´s really cool.  It´s right next to a beach and the people are really cool.  My new companion's name is Elder Castañeda, and he is from Colombia.  He is really cool and he only speaks Spanish.

We actually celebrated my birthday the day before my birthday, and it was really hard because I had to say goodbye to all my converts, and to all the really cool members.  I also had to say goodbye to my companion who is going to train!  I also had to say goodbye to Elder Saaralinen who has been with me for my whole mission.  That was really hard because we got really close.  Anyways I wanted to say that it was really fun in Copiapo and my birthday was awesome.  I also might not have time to write everyone so thanks for all the birthday messages I will write next week.

I will write more next week but I love you all thanks for everything you guys do!  Stay safe! CHAU!

Love,

       Elder Hirschi
