Week 24

Changes! My companion is staying here in Valdivia, but I'm going to Calbuco! Calbuco is apparently a small island and a small town south of Valdivia. I`m super excited because I've heard it`s super pretty down there! Also, Elder Gonzalez is going to be my companion and this is going to be his last 6 weeks in the mission! He`s from Santiago and only speaks Spanish so my Spanish is definitely going to improve a lot faster because I'll be forced to speak it all the time. I`m super excited!
After all this time of being in Chile and speaking Spanish, I realized MY DREAMS ARE IN SPANISH!! It`s so funny. I never thought that would happen ha-ha.
On another note, we did like 12 or 13 hours of service this week. We helped some members paint their house, which took like 7 hours, then we helped people haul a bunch of firewood for about 3 hours and then helped an old lady with her yard for a couple hours. It`s always fun to give service like that here in the mission because it`s a nice change in the routine.
This week we taught a lot of people, and I'm super sad to be leaving Valdivia because we have a lot of investigators that I believe are going to be baptized soon. We have Peter and Aly, Benjamin and Nicole, Victor, Ximena, Daniella, Sebastian, Francisco, Javier, Heladio, and more. A lottt of investigators. It`s ok though, i hope there will be even more people waitng for me in Calbuco!
This week for p-day, we hiked a small mountain by our house, it was pretty relaxing because that`s what i always used to do back home, Hiking! Also, there area was almost the same as Seattle so it felt exactly like home. Here`s a couple pictures from that hike and more!
Everything`s great down here in Chile, thanks for your support everyone! I`m glad to be down here sharing the gospel and the Book of Mormon because i know it`s true and can help everyone. 
Byeeee

They don`t sell milk by the gallon here, it sucks! It comes in boxes and tastes weird.
 Also, here`s the coke section of the grocery store. Chileans love their coke. Seriously though, they drink it like every day
