 More sights at the seashore.  This looks
like a scary creature from a sci-fi movie --
especially when it is moving in the water
and the waves.  Wouldn't want to scuba 
dive in that stuff!
We loved the "hair" on top of this rock
sculpture.  Nature has created amazing
things with wind, water, and sand
La Plaza Central or Plaza de Armas in Osorno.  A
newly renovated city center

a staple of the Chilean diet
 Hermana Pinckney with her parents, the Nielson's. 
Coincidentally, he served with Elder Goodman in

 We will really miss sweet, little Elder Villantoy!
 Elder and Sister Erickson, Elder Amato, and the Goodmans
 Elder Johnson -- a "big" loss
 Elder Bassett with the smile from ear to ear
 Elder Baker -- we will really miss his infectious laugh in the office!

 Elder Jimenez (the financiero) and Elder Moreno (the secretary)
