Hey Fam,
Chile is Bakan. My first Chilean Independence
day went well. The ward activity was super cool. There were activities, dancing
(which we didn’t do) and tons of food. Like we predicted, most of our
investigators went out of town. We did a ton of contacting jaja, we found a few
good people, and we hope to see them progress. What else crazy happened?? Oh
yea! The four of us Elders in this ward along with some other members built a
house for a member here haha. The place we built it was in the spot where her
old house was that got destroyed by an earthquake. Super sketchy project. It
looked like we went back in time to WW2 and a bomb went off in this building because
there were chunks of concrete everywhere and all the walls were destroyed. We
had to pass all the materials up and over a part of the house because they were
too big to go through the door. Super cool and the house turned out well.
Today we had a multi-zone activity with the
Zone from Talagante. We all went to the beach in Quisco. This was the first
time that another zone in this mission had permission to visit the coast for a
zone activity. Pretty cool.
Something we
struggled with this week is getting our investigators to church. You have to
ask yourself what’s not to like about the true church of Christ restored on the
Earth? jaja. But seriously church is one of the most important things, because investigators
wont progress as fast with out going. It’s frustrating sometimes when
investigators don’t keep their compromisos.
I love speaking
another language but every once in a while I will be just talking and all the
sudden I will totally forget the word I’m trying to say. I’m going to speak such
bad Spanish when I get home. The Chileans have horrible grammar and use weird
slang that no one else understands jaja. After the mission I will travel to Mexico
or something and they will look at me weird cause I’m a gringo who talks like a
Chilean.
To answer some questions: they do
have Halloween here, cause they stole it from the US haha so this season there
is the 18th (Independence day), Halloween, Christmas and New Year.
Anyway thanks for everything, love you all!
P.S. I know Nate’s in the
MTC now. Crazy. ... I better write that kid.
J&R- If you keep
Tolbert, I will fix that sucker up. Unless you can sell it for a good amount,
haha. then you could use the money to by a new bike.
