IQUIQUE

Elder Howard you are being transferred!!! You will be going to....... IQUIQUE!!!!!!!!! I am stoked outta my mind for my transfer! Iquique is the neighboring city of my 1st sector in my mission! So now I will be able to go say hi to all of my 1st converts and people up there in Alto Hospicio. So now Iquique should be my last sector in my mission.. And I am really so excited to be able to be here. I am in a great ward and have a cool companion. His name is Elder Bulter from Queen Creek, Arizona. He has like 4 months in his mission, so he is still pretty new. I am now no longer a zone leader but now a District leader again.. And I have all sister missionaries in my district! I'm stoked about it.. they should be cool! 

It was so hard though to say goodbye to everyone Sunday. I will never be able see them again, this being my last sector, so it was a day full of tears and hard goodbyes. I took about a million pictures of everyone though so I have great memories of the people in Arica. It was seriously just as hard to say goodbye to these people as it was saying goodbye to you guys. I already want to go see them all again, but that is not how it works. I am stoked however to kill it here in Iquique! I have set gnarly high goals for this time in my mission. I have to finish strongly.. I cant come home without giving my 100 percent as a missionary. I will make all the sacrifices that I can to help as many of Gods`s Children enter into his kingdom. The Lord loves me and truly blesses me... I would be a selfish disgrace if I don't give all that I am and finish the best 2 years of my life with honor!!!

Hope you guys are all well there in the states... know that I am doing really quite great! I am stoked for this sacred time in my mission!!!

I love you guys!!!

Elder Buck W. Howard
