Hey guys!  I`m doing well in Iquique. We are teaching lots of people, and I am finishing the training of Elder Taylor.  He is super cool, and is a really good missionary.  We teach lots of people like Sister Dasiy, Sister Glaudis, and other people who are nice. 

Iquique is a pretty big city, and it`s a lot bigger than Mejillones.  Luckily everyone is pretty nice in our sector, and the members are super cool.  We have a pretty big sector that is on a slope so we have to walk a lot up and down, but it`s ok because it keeps me in shape.

Elder Taylor is really good at cooking. He made a lemon meringue pie!  He is a funny and cool guy.  He is still learning the language, but speaks much better than I did when I had 7 weeks in the mission.  He is from Utah as well and he likes to cook.  We made some really good meat with mashed potatoes the other day. Anyways we get along great and I hope we get to be companions for a while. 

Conference was great. I learned a lot about the importance of serving others and reading the Book of Mormon.  It was sad to hear about Elder Hales. I hope you are all keeping his family in your prayers.  I hope Monson is doing well.  I want to challenge everyone to start reading the Book of Mormon every night before bed and I will do the same.  Then write down what you learned before you go to sleep!  Really I promise the same blessings that the Prophets are promising, you do feel closer to God.  I will pray for you guys and hope you will do the same for me!

Love,

        Elder Hirschi
