This week was awesooooooome, both with the people and with
the fiestas and the food. Ok so since last week, nothing exciting really
happened, we were just working in our area and contacting as normal. However,
September 18 is the National Day of Independence for Chile, and the people go
crazy with the parties and everything down here.
Ok so first things first, our work and the people. So this
week was a lot like a rollercoaster because we had some ups and some downs. On
the upside we had a ward party this Friday and a ton of our investigators and
less active members showed up which was awesome. We also have been having some
success by arraging meetings with old investigators, and we have appointmens to
go visit them again. However on the other hand our Haitian investigators are
not doing to good. They have not followed up on any of our commitments, so we
had to give them palo, which is like a little stern talking to, and we told
them about the importance of our time as missionaries and we love them, but
they need to do their commitments in order to progress in our lessons. They
took it pretty good, but we have not really heard from them since, so it was a
lessoned learned in the power of agency that people have, and it was a hard
lesson learned. But as always, Elder Jones and I are working hard, and it is so
fun to be with him because he is like my best friend and big brother, I love
the guy to death.
Yeah so about the 18 of September, it was nuts for like
three days there was just non stop parties. The one thing I have learned really
well about the Chileano people is that they love to party and they love to
riot, so, these are my type of people. We ate a lot of empenadas and chorizos
this weekend, and during when we were walking in the streets it was like a
three day BBQ and party, I freaking love the Chileanos.
Everything is going good, I love the Elders I live with and
for everything that they do to teach me how to be a better missionary. The
Spanish language is really coming I have to say I have been really blessed with
not having that big of a language barrier. I can say all of the ghetto phrases
now so when I come back I am totally going to use them. And no Nico, you cannot
start a Go Fund Me account to come down to Chile and fight me, I do not want to
hurt you too bad anyways ahhahahah. But anyways I love all of you guys I
appreciate your letters everyweek. I love this work and I love the
gospel. I am growing so much in the gospel it is awesome to see, I love you
all!
Les Quiero,
