BUENAS!

SORRY. My camera cable was lost so I only have like 2 pics. But we bought chilean sombreros and chilean sweaters. (Look up the Cueca). TI haomorrow is basically the 4th of July of Chile but like on steroids. They have a WHOLE WEEk off. And everyone is telling us yeah come back next week after the festivities... so this week might be kind of slow. On top of that... we got transfers and I will be staying here in Quillon as District Leader and training AGAIN. I swear I am going to train my whole mission haha.... Honestly, I REALLY REALLY did not want to train again haha bc it stresses me out for the new elder to like the mission, understand the rules of president/mission, understand the numbers we have to get, and you kind of just are alone in your sector because they have no idea how to be a missionary. BUT HERE WE GO. THREE TIMES A CHARM. I do not know who it will be until tomorrow when it is revealed in front of everyone but stay tuned for next week!

These are from this whole transfer. The one of Haitians is the Extranjería... or where all the foreigners go to do their visa stuff. IT IS CRAZY. There are so many haitianos who do not even speak spanish. Complete chaos. Empanadas with Bulnes (they are the 2 elders in my district). Selfie with Roberto and our zone leader Elder Benson.

THE MTC- Week #5

Image
Hey peeps! This week was so insane. So first off, next time I email I will be in Chile! I leave Monday afternoon and take a Red Eye there. Also, i am officially the oldest in the MTC, which means that people see my little green sticker on my nametag and think we are so cool. It is actually kind of funny because I never felt that way about people with stickers before. We also got a new district in our zone, so me and comp had to go meet them and do a question and answer as the zone leaders. I feel like it was JUST me yesterday, so it felt super weird. My district sang in sacrament on sunday a mashup of "come, come ye saints and lead kimdñy light" and let me tell you it was bomb. We also had to plan the sacrament meeting as the ZLs and we had to choose 6 speakers and every time their name was called in sacrament they would give us a death glare like UH WHY DID YOU PICK ME. We also had to teach priesthood for the branch, so to say the least this week was busy. Something kind...

In the words of my brother in law Jeff... What´s up party people, This week was so good. We followed president´s orders and organized and cleaned out the whole area book- threw out all the people who did not go to church or did not show interest. So we went through every progress record and lesson record to see who we would save. We ended up with a pile of like 50 people to call and show up at their door. Well out of the 30 that we had time to go to this past week... about 5 have interest... and two came to church.... but he is living with a Venezuelan. We are going to talk to them this week about marriage. We are going to visit the rest this week. Yuyu came to church. She is so close to baptism ah. I really do not know how else to help her. She knows everything and wants to believe it is true and thinks it is true but she wants a yes or no answer. We have taught her she has already received her answer but she won´t accept that. We even taught her with a member psychologist who tot...

Week #7

ALOHA. I miss hawaii this week as it randomly got REALLY hot. It is always cold in the morning and night but the HEAT came during the day. Ok wow I always freak out when I am writing because I always have so many things happen and I have so little time. BUT sorry no pics this week, I forogt my chord. Anyways in no specific order there are some crazy things. So missionaies dont eat dinner here. We eat a freakishly large lunch, like very large, and i swear I am going to explode after after time i eat. Andyou have to eat it all. Not gonna lie, I have stuffed some things in my pocket. So we eat at  1:30  with members and then eat a snack when we get home at  9:30 . Also today is Chile's independance day (equiv of our  4th of july ). So I guess it a law here that everyone has to have a chile flag in their window or hanging up outside or you will get a ticket, so we had to go buy one under the direction of the mish prez. BUT i was trying to learn my vocab and i acciden...
