Aw man!  How happy for the fam. stevie is going to chile.  It will be like my mission, except rich and cold.  Haha, I really cant imagine this because the only things that the people said about my mission was that it was poor and hot.  Haha, so we´ll see. 

 But I think I decided what I want to do in 2 and a half years.  Pick up Stevie, tour around Chile, then go to paraguay and see all my friends.  That would be super cool.  And I even have some buds in Argentina and Guatamala that would totally show us around there.  Anyway, it seems like you and dad and very shortly going to become quite the tourists of S.  America. By the way, are you guys still wanting to pick me up . . . How funny, never did I think that we would be the fam that all the kids went to south america or worked with Latinos.  But then again, I think that that fits our family pretty well.  because we know how to play in the dirt, go on adventures, see beautiful nature, and laugh when things dont go right.  Or maybe this is all missions.  I dont know.  Also, I think something that seperates missions in the rest of the world from missions in S America, is that nowhere else in the world the majority of your comps wont be from the US.  Like I kid you not, none of my friends in France, Portugal, Czech, etc have ever had a comp thats not from the states.  So he will learn a lot about getting along with people.

As for me, I am still here in Villa Elisa.  We didnt have changes.  But really, we talked a lot the day after we found out that we are staying together.  (she never really wanted to talk but then one day she opened up and it was so great) and she told me that her problem with me was mostly that I seemed like I had a perfect life and had never suffered and thus didnt understand our investigatores because I didnt know how it feels like to suffer these same trials like she and they have had.  And that the mission isnt really real life for her.  So she had never worried about caring about or helping her comps, and she was happy with the members and just being friends with them.  Basically because I am American Utah Mormon with a cute little family.  But she admitted that she cant think like that and from that day, she really started chaning, and I think me too. Because I had to get to the point to decide that I was going to be happy, and it doesnt matter the circumstances.  and so now we are really good friends.  And I am happy. And I think we are going to have 5 baptisms and a wedding in the next two weeks so really, the Lord is blessing us.  Now we just have to work really hard and pray even harder.

to me, Paul, Katie, Stephen, Tret

Liza, yes, Dad and I want to come and get you.  I haven’t asked your mission president yet if that is okay.  Does he have an email address that you could give me?  I guess I can look it up somehow.  Does he speak/read English?

Yes, we also want to come and pick up Stephen.  Katie and Trent want to come too, so we could go see Trent's mission too.  So if Stephen comes home a little early for school, maybe we can go pick him up right around Christmas with the whole family!  Katie will be about done with school and Trent will be making his millions by then.  He reminded me that it will be summertime then too, so a good time to visit so far south!  Fun times!

We love you.  I am so happy that you have worked things out with your companion!!!  What a breakthrough.  I am praying for her that she can continue to be nice.  We will pray that the wedding and baptisms come through.

We love you so much!

Mom

But I love you so much.    This week I was reading about joseph feilding smith and I thought  . . . wow ... he came from a family of some of the greatest and grandest spirits!  And then I thought.  Wow. So did I.  I really think that when I found out I was going to be born a Jarman Liljenquist, I was suprised and very happy.  When my comp was telling me how blessed I was to be born where and to whom I was, I really started to think that there is a lot of things I have to do in this world, because not many people are 3rd generation sister missionaries, granddaughter of stake presidentes and mission presidents, daughter of a bishop and a mother who has always help callings very important, and so on.  I use callings but its not about the callings,  What I mean is that I am born in a family with many of the greatest and brighest souls that our padre celestial had, and that that is why I have so very much to do in my life. Also in the mission of joseph feliding smith, he said that he didnt baptize one soul but he learned so very very much.  And I just felt, identified with his words.  He was a soul that always yearned to know.  to learn.  And also a soul that looked and his patriachal blessings and thought, whoa,  I have a lot to do, so I better prepare now.

But, I love your updates about the good you do.  Youre right.  It makes me feel like you are fighting the same cause as me.  Keep it up!  

Love ya,
