man this transfer is going way good. me and my comp elder glover are doing way good together. yesterday we had 7 investigators in church so that was really good for us. the people we are working with are great and are really seeing the difference in the things we teach and share with them. i am getting very close to the people here i love it. one night we were visiting a less active family to try to get them to come back to church and we were just talking to the mom and daughter and then the dad walked in. you could tell that he had been drinking so i thought that something bad might happen or something but when he saw us he started crying and said that we were a answer to his prayers. he told us that he had been praying for help to stop smoking and drinking but just felt like he just could not do it. and then he said that he walked in his house and saw two angels. it really was one of the best parts of my mission so far. he is a great guy and we talked to them for an hour or so and they made us eat dinner with them haha then at the end we told him that he had been praying praying for help and we had come to his house but he still needed to do more. we told him to give us his cigarrets and that we weregoing to help him stop. for like twenty min he kept resisting and resisting us and would say i will start tomorrow and stuff like that but we kept persisting and he gave us the cigarrets and we ripped them up with him. it was really nice to see how much the people that are open to us as missionaries appreciate what we do and that we can help. they came to church yesterday too for the first time in years!
i almost got my head bit off yesterday by a dog. freakin mutt.
i am so excited for general conference this weekend! seriously i am, my converts and investigators are realy excited too because they can see the prophet of God. i was thinking about it yesterday about how we just take it for granted i think sometimes, we are just so used to seeing him and it is just something totally normal. but in reality it is huge! he really is the prophet of God who is here on the earth for us to guide us and help us return to live with God. that was my thought. In my head.
ok so on saturday i think it was we were just walking to someones house when we got a call from one of the ladies in the ward and she sounded really panicky and asked us if we could do something for her and so i said ya for sure and then they asked me if we could go meet her at the church and get chairs for her and bring them to her house (and these chairs dont fold) so i thought in my head, crap. because i had already said yes so we went to the church which was like 15 min away and waited for her and she didn´t show so we called her and she said she was waiting for us at her house. any way long story short i understood bad and she wanted us to bring the chairs from her house to the church. ( i even double checked with her before with what she wanted so it wasnt my spanish´s fault) so we finally got to her house and she had a wheel barrel and the chairs waiting for us. and her freakin kid with inside playing. he is 16. i was a little mad but didn´t say anything. so we wheel barreled the chairs for about 20 to the church through the middle of town and everyone was laughing at the 2 gringo mormons. it actually was pretty funny to us at the end so it turned out fine. the chilean people seriously love taking advantage of people when they can. but i love them.
Kevin broke his freakin arm!! holy crap dude that sucks. i bet it freakin hurt. i remember when chris always had a cast on his arm in the logan house because he was so accident prone he would always hit me on the head with the stupid cast. get him back for me please. thanks. that is so cool to here that you are to the best on the team. i want to see some pictures of you playing and doing your thing. i played soccer with a bunch on the youth here on friday and i actually scored. it was my first goal in my life im pretty sure.
thats sad to hear that Dasha´s mom went home. she looks like a very nice lady i hope i get to meet her. im glad to hear that everyone is doing good though for sure. Joan, it sounds like you are keeping really busy and entertained with the geneaoligy of how ever you spell it! i really enjoyed your letter thank you. and to answer your question yes it should be fine to send the package now.
thank you all for your letters and encouragement. i hope you all have a great week!
