Elder Elder, the firefighter!
so............im pregnant. tomorrow i will be giving birth to a new missionary. i have to take a bus from here in angol to concepcion to go pick up the new missionary that i will be training! i am actually pretty excited to tell you the truth. i have been here in Angol for 4 months and i love it. i wrote my president week and i told him how much i love it here and how i get along so well with everyone and that i didnt want that to distract me from the work. i asked him for some suggestions of what i could do and a few days later i get a call......he told me Elder, (i dont know if he was refering to my name or the title elder) i have just the thing for you. you will be training and staying in you sector. these next 6 weeks will help you more than you know. it was really cool and i am really excited. it is way awesome too because tanner goodman is training too! well at least he was. i heard that he is having an emergency transfer.
another thing. i became a firefigher this week too! about 5 oclock on friday we were walking down this street and we see a ton of smoke so we went to go check it out because it was really close to a members house. turns out it wasnt a member but a house was on fire. the firefighters had arrived 45 minutes late and the house wasnt able to be saved. the firefighters actually left early as well and after an hour or so that they had left we were in a members house getting ready to do an activity with them and some other people and the sister comes running in and yells "elders! the house is on fire again!" so we went running and i entered the the house with a hose and put the fire out. it was actually way cool. i dont feel bad for not calling the firefighters because i didnt feel like waiting for another 45 minites. all this is in my church clothes. i dont have a picture of that but i got a bunch of other ones. the next day we went back to help the family take out all of the things that were destroyed. they were really really grateful for our help. it was so sad to see all their possentions destroyed but the coolest thing ever was how they werent even sad. they said that god had blessed them with life still and that no one was hurt. we were able to save about 1/4 of their stuff from getting burned. it was so gratifying to be able to help them. i have 6 more weeks here in angol. i am actually still in my 2 area! i will have 6 months here when i leave. i leave november 9 and the 18 i will have a year in the mission! where is the time!?
i stil havent gotten any letters or packages from anyone yet but hopefully when i go to to concepcion tomorrow i can pick them up! i want real candy again!
well i love you all so much. your support and letters make me feel so much better. i love being here. it is so amazing to be a servant of the lord. i love him so much. i love you all so much as well. take care everyone. oh i do have a favor....how many nieces and nephews do i have now and how many that are coming?....i feel bad for not knowing when people ask me! i am pretty sure i have 14. right? well love you all. be good.
