Called To serve

Transfer 6 week 3 Sorry Elder Nord did not have time to write a letter this week but he was able to send some pictures! Mission nurse. Hermana Meese Service. Shoveling dog poop basically Treking around looking for houses to knock People here use their tires as flowerpots  Patriarch with his family  Our ward mission leader Aaron  Bought sushi this week. So different here. We never eat out hahaha Temple on Saturday. President called me to come sing. Every Saturday they have a class in the park next to the temple where we bring investigators to learn more about the temple. Normally there are like 20ish but this week there were about 85 who came during the 2nd hour period!!  This dog and I bonded Milagro. Venezulean. She is great just needs to come to church one more time to be baptized so we have to push her date back again.  Our church! 

HOWDY! My thoughts of the week. 1. Chile does not have good cheese. I have tried so many different kinds and they just all do not tatse very good haha. 2. I had to give a talk this week in church. I gave it on Trusting in God and how we can trust in god by listening to the prophets voice  (both old prophets aka the scriptures and modern day prophets). It was pretty good and it was funnt becasue they called me to be the 3rd speaker which means if the other people do not speak long enough you have to fill in time until the hour is up. The first speaker spoke 5 mins. Then my comp spoke like 6 mins.... so then I had to give a talk for like 20 minutes!!! But I actually covered all my stuff in like 18 mins so i was only winging it for like 2 mins. Updates on investigators. 1.Milagro. That is the name of our venezuelan investigator. We were really nervous bc she had a bapt date for this upcoming saturday and we had it confirmed from like 10 people that she was married but...

Transfer 6 week 1 This week was crazy. First off conference was amazing. Temples. Minstering. Combined Elder's Quorum. It is all so great. I love it. This week they put the Moroni on the Concepcion temple! Also, the church announced the MTC in Chile will be closing so the people here were a little bummed. Funny. this week i had an inetrcambio and we asked a woman if we could start the lesson by singing a hymn so she says yes and starts singing this song about the virgin mary for like 6 minutes. I was trying not to laugh bc it was so not what we expected. My best investigators are from haiti, venezuela, and peru... lol not chile. I finished the bom this week. I love that book. I have seriously loved immersing myself in the BOM everyday and I encourage you all to do it too. The promise of President Monson still stands that we will make better choices and have the spirit more in our lives.  I cannot pick a fan conference talk so here are my favorites:...

HOWDY YAL! Well... I think my emails are starting to work now so expect emails from this day forward! No time because I just realized my emails send now. This week was great. We had 8 investigators in church! Officially started to rain. I hated that day haha. As a missionary nobody wants to be outside in the pouring rain or the blistering heat (already passed the heat in Linares and now gonna start the rain here in Talchuano). In maipuche, talchuano means thundering sky..... so im getting ready for a whole lot of storms. My ward seriously has a problem with singing and so about 3 weeks ago we started a training of how to sing right after the closing prayer. The chorister makes us resing the 3 hymns again and stops us to tell everyone what sounds bad. IT IS SO FUNNY. Everyone is just laughing the whole time. A member showed me "25 cultural differences between USA and Chile" and it is spot on. Look it up if you want to see the main differences. So you know how...

I am sorry but my emails do not send. I have tried, my mom has, and my brother in law. I have a blog if you guys are not getting them. Sorry no time this week but... in a few short things in no particular order. 1. Physalis Peruviana. These little fruits are super common here in my sector and are super random. It is pretty cool though how they are grown. You have to wait until the outside is brown to eat it. 2. We played soccer and volleyball today with my zone. My comp is not hand eye coordinated hahaha 3. We had 63 in church yesterday!  a record! The problem is the chileans say "oh I think I will go to church today" and then like 2 months later they say the same thing haha but they do not come consistently. 4. Chileans do not put their toilet paper in the toilet. They have a sack next to the toilet so after a while the bathroom really starts to smell when the sack fills up. 5. ZONE CONF. We had zone conf and I love ZC. My prez focused on 2 things. ...
