Hi everyone. I hope all is well back in the good ol
U.S.A. This past week was Chile´s independence week or something like
that. If only you could see how crazy the people go during this week.
Chileans don't have any culture EXCEPT for this week then they gooo
insane... There was partying in the streets every night all night. Flippin cray cray I know... Every house we went up to and tried to share
with they were either getting ready for September 18th (the actual day
of the independence, the big party) or recovering from the 18th...
Chileans.... It was a reaaaaal tough week to get into houses to share a
message... pucha... oh well... I'm working super hard trying to get our
ward back to where it should be... We are only having about 75 people
show up every sunday
which is real tough especially now that we are working super super hard
with the members... It's hard when there are no members to work with... So my comp and I are trying hard to reactivate menos activos and
strenghthen the ward.. Lots of work ahead of us...
About 2 weeks ago we were playing soccer on P-Day, and
some flaite (thugs) stole our cell phone... so we haven't had a cell
phone for the past 2 weeks which is kinda a bummer but whaterrr... Last
week we went to a place called Uta and it was really ugly compared to
the places back at home, but since I haven't seen a living plant in the
past 6 months it was actually really cool. There was trees, a mini
waterfall... all that fun stuff so ya.. One thing I've learned on the
mission is that Elders are very very dirty. I think they play games with
me in the pension to see how messy they can get the pension before I
clean it... flippin Elders... The mission has changed me so much I'm the
cleanest person you would ever see right now... I apologize to my mom
for being messy and not doing my dishes growing up.... I hate messy
people...... La Vida Cierto...
We have 1 investigator right now, Fransisca. She is
really good and we are working super hard with her to have her take the
step to baptism. She knows she needs to be baptised she just wants to
know 100% which is a little tough since it's impossible to know
everything in this church haha. But we are hopefully going to put a fecha with her this week. Pray for her. She needs to be baptized.
Coke... Everyone drinks Coke here... That's all... Just Coke.... Not water... Coke.... I'm sick of Coke....
Just
trying everyday to have happiness and enthusiasm working through some
things with the comp... But all is well.. Stay positive people... We
have the Gospel...

Glad you are keeping on trying. That makes all the difference. Hope you have success activating people. That will really help new members too. Love the little kitty.
I love that you are so committed to working hard. I know Heavenly Father will reward your efforts. Working with the members, even if they are few in number, is by far the best way to reach people. I hope they will respond well to what you are trying to do. So good to see you smiling!!
I love you Elder.
