Oh yeah Elder silva is great! except like he doesnt teach me how to do things so i am teaching myself how to do most things, like for our first week we didnt even touch our area book and i didnt know why then i decided to just look in it and figured out all this stuff that we have to fill out so i am doing that all now he has been out for 8 months now and is pretty funny. We cleaned the pension today so its really good now:) ill send some pics haha Oh but yeah the date for her baptism is December 7!!! so pumped:) Oh i would love to recieve their letters that would be great! Hey i miss mine and rachaels little night talks about life..:( but we will continue after the mish:)
Alright about this week, So first of all our area. It is called Alicahue and our ward is Tobalaba 2. My sector is suuuuuper ghetto. There are so many "Flites" (Gangsters) and they are pretty insane!! but it is nothing like i was told it would be like, yeah there is one part of our whole mission that is rich and nice but the rest is super ghetto!! like my shoes if i shine them in the morning they wont last 10 minutes till they look like crap.... But the ward is absolutely amazing!!!!!! i love all the people!! Our ward mission leader was a General Authority! he has cool storys:)
Also we decided to buy this food called a Churrasco and its like a burger but with flank steak as the meat, its super good! but the one we bought was the size of a basketball!!! it was crazy!!!!! also completos are pretty good too:) Oh i had mate! i dont know why but it is super good!! you gotta add a little sugar though, but i enjoy it:) Speaking of food, if its possible, could you guys send me some recipes of stuff because im getting tired of the same thing of cereal or eggs...itd be nice to have some recipes:)
Okay soccer, it is life down here. There are these two teams Colocolo and La U, and its like BYU and Utah on steroids!! They played eachother on sunday and there were fireworks everywhere people running around shooting shots in the air and just screaming and fighting and it was nuts!! super funny to see though:)
So for a cool experience this week, we were teaching one of our investigadores Jaqueline and she has been meeting with missionaries for the last 10 months and isnt progressing so i told my comp that we should just start over and treat her like a new invesitgador to find out what her doubts are about the church so we went in and started talking about the restoration and how josé recieved his answer and she said "elders, how do i recieve an answer? what is going to happen?" i was shocked! after 10 months of missionaries no one taught her how to recieve an answer!? also we found out that she prays, but in the way of catholics....that no one taught her how we pray! so we taught her and hopefully now she will be able to get her answer and accept this gospel in her life.
I am loving this sooo much and it truly feels like i have been doing this my whole life. like idk why...but it feels so natural:) i cant wait for the future and to see all that is in store:) love you guys and am so glad youre all doing great:)
