Hey fam, here are a few pictures that we took as a district
our last change (transfer) during pday. They´re pretty bacan
(cool), heheh.

I gotta ask for your pardon because this is gonna be a short
letter. Today has been pretty crazy and E´ Zmoos is waitin.

So this last week I went to center Santiago and got my visa
finally. You can only be in this country for a few months until
you have to get your visa, so I just barely got mine last
tuesday. It was fun because I got to stand in tons of lines
and one of the lines took 2 hours. You could only imagine. 
Then on Thursday we had a way awesome day. We found 3 new
investigators and we felt that God was leading us through out
the whole day. It was awesome.
Oh yeah, we have an old investigator named Marcelo who I´ve
only met with 1 time since I got here. He got in contact with
my district leader in my district leader´s ward and told him
that he wanted to get baptised. So We called him the other
day and told him that he ought to come toour church building
because he actually lives in our boundaries. It was awesome
because we set it up so that we will meet with him 3
times a week. We´re gonna set a baptismal date with him when
we teach him and get him baptised. We´re way stoked. It´s
probable that I won´t be here for his baptism because I´m
guessing that I´m gonna get changed (transferred), but what
really matters is that he gets baptised. He´ll be my first
baptism and it´s gonna be awesome! Woo Hoo!

Hey dad, I thought that talk that you had about the Book of
Mormon was way awesome and interesting. Thanks for sending
it to me. Well, I think that´s about it. I hope that everyone
is doing great and I hope Kenz and the new baby are doing
good as well. Love you all!

Elder Steinagel

Okay, the Chile Santiago West Mission Office has moved, so here's the new address for anyone that wants to write or send a package to Jordan:

Elder Jordan Steinagel
Misión Chile Santiago Oeste
Correos, Casilla 149
Chacabuco 166
Maipú
Chile

Thanks!

Jord's new companion, Elder Zmoos.

Good-bye, Elder Pedroche, and thank you!

Here's a clip from Elder Steinagel's last letter:

Hey er'one. Como estan? Well, it sounds like everything is going just great for all, so I am happy. I need to say thank you for all your "happy birthdays!" to me. I'm so excited because now that I am 19 I'm ready to be a missionary! woo hoo, let's turn in my papers, haha.

Elder Steinagel also reports that his Spanish is improving. He says he understands more now, and that he's teaching more. Which is good, since Elder Pedroche is being transferred, and Jordan's getting a new companion. He's also still working toward his first baptism. It's been a good experience for him to see that missionary work in Sound America is hard work. He's so grateful for all those exchanges he went on with the missionaries in Ukraine. And Jord, it's been really good for the missionaries in Ukraine to hear that it can be hard to baptize in Chile!
