Hola!! Well it was
another pretty good week here in Chile!! We finally got the first rain of the season
and there was some pretty bad flooding in Santiago. We saw some sweet pictures of it from one of
the members. I guess the streets just
kinda turn into rivers during the rain in the city. Their drainage system isn't too good I guess!!
Well this week we did divisions twice so
I was with other elders as much as I was with my comp! It was lots of fun though. Elder Cervantes, my old companion, is my
district leader so it was lots of fun catching up with him and the other day I
was with Elder Salisbury - I have become pretty good friends with him over my
time here in Talagante - we are super similar - it is pretty crazy.. We
had a meeting with another zone and President King this week. It was great and we learned a ton. I always look forward to the meetings with President
King, he is such a great teacher, it is sad to see him go!! We were finally able to find some new investigators
this week, it has been a while since we were able to find any so that was
pretty sweet. They are a family who is
kinda all drunk a lot but they are really nice and want to change. He actually stopped us in the street the other
day, and asked us to help him out, so we went to his house Friday and had a
pretty good lesson with him, so hopefully that keeps goin good!! We didn't have any investigators in the chapel
though this week, so hopefully we can get that turned around soon. We are
getting pretty close with a few people, but they just keep hanging back a
little..
Well it has been a pretty good p-day so far. Me and my comp got up at 6 this morning and
hopped on a bus and headed over to a little town called Lonquen, and it has one
of the biggest hills in the area. When I first got here a few months ago the
first thing I saw was this hill, and we can see it from our apartment pretty
good too. But I have always just wanted
to climb the dang thing. and I couldn't just let that mountain stand there
without being climbed, so last night I decided I wanted to do it today and so we
just went and did it! It was actually a
little bigger than I thought haha... but after a few hours I reached the top,
my comp had to stop just a little ways from the top cause there was some
pretty good rocks we had to go over and he said he was a little too top heavy
for it haha, so he just watched me and I ran up to the top, snatched a few photos
and a video and we headed back down. It
was awesome though!! And we met an old
guy that lives nearby, shooting rabbits up on the hill. We had fun talking to him for a while, until
he realized we were Mormons, then he got out of there pretty fast!! But it was a great day, and a great stress
reliever! I felt like I left the world
for a while - it was awesome! And this
week we get to go to the temple again to do endowments for our name so I am
pretty excited about that - another chance to leave the world again!
And Dad, I can't believe it but I forgot to take a
picture of the cup again, so I will have to next week, but I think I thought of
a good idea. Could you put a glass
insert in it?? I have seen quite a few
with glass..
Well, I hope everyone is doing great!! Have a great week!!!! :)
