Week 18

This week was cool as usual! We had a lot of work, but not as much as the past couple weeks. We only had to speed walk between appointments instead of sprint haha.

This week we had exchanges, which is changing companions for a day. It was awesome because for that day i had a latino companion who didn`t speak english and i understood almost everything, and no one even commented on my spanish ability! They only commented on my accent, but they understood me. It`s amazing how fast you can learn a language when you`re surrounded by it. I`ve already learned more than my whole 3 years of spanish is highschool.

Also, i`m officially done with my training! After 6 weeks in the missionary training center, and 12 weeks in the field, you finally finish all the training programs and stuff. 

We also have changes this wednesday, so i might be staying in Valdivia or leave to some other random city, but we don`t know yet! I guess we`ll see next week.

Anyways, i didn`t have much to write, so i just took random pictures and wrote about them!

I`m glad to be out here working in the mission field! I know the book of Mormon is true and that`s why i`m out here.

This is the church building our ward goes to. There`s a lot of buildings here in chile. There`s like 3 more church buildings within a 15 minute walking ditance. All the church buildings have huge fences and walls surroundings them to keep out the gangsters and grafitti and dogs and stuff.

This is a pretty typical street here in chile. 

One night we didn`t have a ton going on so we played on a swing set.
