Hola! Well Dad I
guess they don't celebrate Saint Patrick's Day here, cause I forgot about it
and nobody ever said anything! So I
guess not! And ya people were pretty
excited about the new Pope and everyone asks us what we think about it...
EVERYONE haha.. we just kinda say in a nice sort of way that we really don´t
care too much. Everyone here says the
world is gonna end cause they say in the Bible there will be a black Pope
called, and they say that is him... but I am not so sure about their reasoning
there, but oh well! And the church is
the second lot up on the right side of the road, looks like they put another
building in there after they took that picture. And that is where my house is - it is the first building on the bottom side
of that road. And we live with the other elders too, makes it a little funner! And about watering the grapes, I have no idea,
never seen it done haha, do grapes need water??? It has only rained once the whole time that I
have been here!! And the assistants came
to visit our zone and they told me about Talon, says he is doing great, and ya
he is in city. That is where estacion
central is and where all the poor people go, lots of good stuff happens there
so he should be having lots of fun! That
is great you are a veil worker! I miss
going to the temple! This Saturday we
are probably going to go with our ward to do baptisms for the dead with some of
the recent converts, so that should be great, and I am pretty excited about
that! Well being here in Chile has
started to make me like soccer a little bit more! We play it quite a bit with
the zone. I was terrible at first but
now I am not too terrible and it is great exercise too. I am excited to keep
playing and get better during the mission! This week our stake did a mini-MTC for all the
youth and then after the class us missionaries went out and worked with them,
it was a lot of fun. I went with a 17
year old recent convert, and he wasn't so sure about the whole mission thing
but we had some great experiences that day and he is pretty excited about the
whole thing now, it was awesome to see the change in just one day! But one of the cool experiences we had was we
were just walking down the road on the way to an appointment and I looked over
and there was a pickup with a Wyoming license plate in the window!! I got pretty excited about that and the guy
was outside so we started taking to him and he said that he lived in Casper and
Cheyenne for a while doing janitor work cause the pay is way better in the
states. And we ended up having a good
lesson with him, it was awesome, he is in the other missionary's sector, so I
won´t be teaching him anymore but it was a cool experience. I will send a picture of that. Also Sunday morning our branch president asked
if I would be the concluding speaker in sacrament meeting - he said it will probably be about ten
minutes so it wasn't gonna be that big of a deal, but when the other two
speakers where 12 year olds that took about a minute and a half each, well that
10 minute talk quickly turned into a 40 minute talk haha. I didn't think there was any way that I could
get up and talk in Spanish for 40 minutes but with some help from the Lord I
somehow managed to do it and I was surprised at how good of a talk it was and how
good my Spanish was, I kinda just opened
my mouth and words came out haha. And it
sounds like that won´t be the only time I will be giving 40 minute talks here
either. I might try to have one ready
every week from now on!! Well everything
is going good for me here. I hope
everyone is doing alright back at home!! Have a great week!!

This was a huge old spider that I found in my bed this morning. I about wanted to cry, you know how big of a girl I am with spiders haha... it is about
the size of a silver dollar, and the most poisonous spider in Chile. That thing
can mess you up a little bit, good thing i found it before it got me
tonight!!
