Congrats scotty boy!! im glad that you are now enjoying football! hopefully he will like to do it every year, and he can get as good as i never was;) haha i hope he realized that all those days of practice he hated was worth it in the end when he won that championship and all the games make it worth it!

okay
for my week,
so first the misson office came out and told us the address to send mail to. so here is the one that they offically told us:
6824 Cristobal Colon
Las Condes, Santiago
Region Metropolitana
Chile
now for some funny things that happened, so i dont know if i ever told you this but i had forgotten to bring a towell on my mission from home, so i went the first 2 months without a towell and using just a little hand towell haha fun fact;)
also we had halloween this week and its not like the same here as it is in the US but we still have it. but our ward had a party in the chapel(litterally the chapel, they took the chairs out) we had a DJ hired and there was this sick light show and smoke machines and everything. like no joke, this was a full on party that is like what me and my buds would go to in the states, so it was a dance party that had some super sick bumpin toons and i wanted to dance sooo bad!!! but the rules are rules.....haha i just sang to a couple of songs, i think this kid in my ward filmed a bit and tagged me in it on facebook. so maybe look to see if he did! but there were quite a bit of bad words that were said in the English songs but none of the people could understand what they were so they just danced haha weird!! but halloween was sweet:) ooooh and thanks for the halloween package!!! its was perfect! i love the ring, and the batteries were very needed! thank you thank you! and the skeleton is hung up in our door way and we are always putting it in weird formations and stuff haha its funny:) we love it! and all the candy!!!!! i have barely even touched the candy but i give it to little kids during the days and stuff because they dont have smarties here and they love them:) oh and the blessing, i was meening to ask for that for a while, you just read my mind:) thanks:)
Okay we have gone on divisions twice now and they are so fun to do! first i went with our zone leader Elder Mamani from peru, and he is so cool and the way he does things is so sick! he is an incredible missonary. learned tons from him. but when we finished divisions we had to take the bus back to my area and we accidentally got on the wrong bus and ended up in the heart of santiago like an hour away from where i live haha so we didnt get back to the pension till loke an hour late at 1130 haha it was super funny:) also i went on divisions with elder stewart, we are both new to the mission at the same time. my comp(district leader) said he was going with elder workman and that us newbies would be together haha so i lead our sector and it was actually a good day! we set up a family night with jaqueline and set everything up for it and the night went perfect. it helped her with alot of her fears and doubts. but it was cool to be leading my sector and that my comp would trust me to do that! haha
so an update on our investigators, so the soto family, fernanda is still getting baptized on december 7th and her mom is going to be baptized aswell, dont know what day for her yet because they need to get married first but we are workign on it! and for jaqueline she accepted the day of 20th of december!!! that day is extra special because its an activity our whole zone is doing where everyone is having people on that day and having a big massive spiritual baptism service called "blanca navidad" its gonna be super special:)
thats pretty much this week. everyday my spanish is improving and the work is getting better and better!! love you guys:)
