Hola!!! Well it
was a pretty good week this week!! I was a little lost on where I was
last week, but now I get it a little more. I am here in the city of San Antonio, well out
of it just a little bit in a town called Llo Lleo (yo yeo) or something like
that haha. We live about half a mile
from the coast it looks like, but the sector we are working in is up on a hill in
the other direction. We walk up and down
hills all day long haha. But it doesn't
look like I will be losing too much weight from that though. The members here definitely make up for it in
the food - they give us at least twice as much, if not more, than we got when I
was in La Islita. I feel like I am gonna
pop every time we leave a house - doesn't matter if we have a planned lunch or
what, they are just always giving us food!!! Here on the coast the people
are pretty poor, and super humble, and they are more receptive here than they
were in Santiago, which makes it nice!! But the Ward here hasn't had a baptism for
three years until a couple of weeks before I got here. I am not sure quite what happened, but things
are going pretty good right now. We have
a super pretty chapel with a view of the mar (sea) so that is pretty cool.
Yesterday I was assigned to give a talk
and instead of having 40 minutes to talk like I did in the Islita, they ended
up only leaving me about 2 haha, but that was alright - I did not mind too
much!! My comp is a pretty quiet
kid, but he is a great missionary, and he is a great teacher. I have learned a lot more from him in a week
than I learned in my last 4 changes!! He
definitely likes to work hard! He is the
only member in his family and he has not heard from his parents since he
started his mission. I felt pretty bad
when he told me that, but he is definitely focused on the work, which makes it
really nice. I am excited to be with him
here, but if you ever send me a package or anything, make sure you put a little
extra of whatever in it!! Well, this
morning we got up early and as a zone headed to the beach!! Missionaries are not allowed to go during the
summer - too much temptation haha, but during the winter it is fine to go, so
that was pretty cool. It was really
pretty, there are lots of rocks, but it is cool seeing the waves come in on
them. It is a little different being in
a new zone because I don't really know anyone here, but there are some pretty
cool elders here so it should be fun. Looks like a pretty sweet hike
you and Mom did!! Looks really green
there right now! I hope you are enjoying
the summer there!! The weather has been
pretty nice here, lots of sun!! Here on
the coast it does not get as cold so that should be nice, and it does not rain
as much either, so it should be a pretty good winter! and wow! Cayden is
looking super old!!! Before he knows it
he is gonna be down here on his mission too! Well, I hope everyone is doing great!! I am working on sending pictures right now so I
hope they get there. Have a great
week!!!
