We received a 3 page e-mail from Elder Jorgensen on Monday. He made it to Chile! He sounds great! He had a lot he wanted to tell us. He was assigned a great trainer, Elder Clark from Washington so he speaks English. Elder Clark is kind of tall and walks very fast everywhere he goes. Elder Jorgensen has to speed walk or even jog to keep up with him. It is winter in Chile so it is very cold, rainy and windy. They get up at 7am and work until 10pm. His casa has no heat and isn't insulated and is very cold at night. He loves the people and has had the opportunity to give some blessings this week. The language is coming and he can't wait to get it down. He says that he loves being in the mission field and has already had some awesome experiences.

Yeah! We are so glad he arrived safely and is working hard! Thanks for keeping us posted. Can't wait to hear about his experiences. Love the pictures. Also, love the shoes. I really am going to call you one of these days...
You must be very proud. It sounds like he's off to a roaring start as a missionary!
