Hello All,   First Mom, can you put some money into my bank account so that I can buy some new sweaters and clothes?? They are starting to get worn down and Punta Arenas is the best place to buy stuff in the mission!!! Pretty please! LOVE YOU! Also thank you for being so good at keeping me updated on the family. Even though i am not good at responding i truly do read it all and I love all the pictures! Also i cant believe that i have been out for more than 10 months now and that all these boys are starting to come home!!!

Britton has been calling different family members each week lately and we have been chatting on Google Hangout instead of letters.  I, Mardi, write him every week but I think he is preferring the calls right now.  I will talk him into writing a letter soon!  We need an update and something to keep for posterity!  :)  Here are a lot of photos from the last 3 weeks . . . on the isle of Calbuco
