January 3, 2012 Arriving in Concepcion

I am here in Concepcion and it is the most beautiful place I have ever been. The mission president just gave us a really great dinner and they are letting each one of the new missonaries write home and say we made it.

And you wouldn't believe it here. Pictures can't do it justice. I think we are going back to the hotel soon and tomorrow I meet my trainer. But I am here and safe and I think instead of you coming to pick me up we should all save up and come back when the temple here gets dedicated. I haven't been here a day and can't imagine not coming back for that.

I love you and I am off to work!!
