Week 22-Russel M. Nelson

This week Russell M. Nelson, one of the twelve apostles, talked with us on wednesday! It was awesome and super spiritual. We had to wake up at 4:00 in the Morning to take a 3 hour bus ride to Osorno to get there before 9:00. All the missionaries in the Chile Osorno mission, like 250, gathered in the Osorno Stake  Center.
Elder Nelson has been my favorite apostol for a long time because he was a heart surgeon and that is my dream job. That, or Orthopedic Surgeon. I have tons of respect for him because not only did he have incdredible worldy honors, like being a heart surgeon, but he is also an incredible spiritual leader.
There are a lot of things to say about what he told us, but the thing i like most about what he told us is he promised us if we are obedient and do everything we can to be good missionaries, we will have more blessings in our family and our future family then we could have had in any other manner. 
One thing that was super funny this week was a member asked us to cut some of the carpet out of his house because it was ripped and it looked bad, so we did. He thanked us, and right before we were about to leave his wife comes out of her room, sees the carpet, and starts yelling at him for like 20 mintues! Apparently he never asked her if he could cut the carpet out Hahaha we just sat there and waited for her to stop yelling. After she stopped yelling, she stomped off into her room and before we had the chance to get up and leave, she came back and started yelling at him again for something! It was fun
The missionaries in our neighboring ward had a baptism so we went there on saturday. It was a great baptism service and the kid was super awesome. He`s only 18 years old but he has a super strong testimony and he might serve a mission so that would be awesome!
Hope you all have a great week!

It was our mamita`s birthday, the member who cooks food for us everyday, so we bought her a cake and made her banana pancakes since they don`t know what those are down here.
