Week 49

This week was super awesome! I am already comfy in my new sector with a great companion and a gigantic house. The house is superr big and we live with 2 other missionaries, so it`s a party. My companion is Elder Vega from Columbia.
The ward here is struggling, last snday there was only about 45 people, but there`s a lot of people to teach here too, just like in osorno.
I got to see a lot of people here from my old ward in Los Encinos and it was so cool to see them, because when i knew them before i didn`t talk spanish very well, but now i speak way better and faster and they were all really excited to see me.
Good news! I talked about Danilo a long time ago in my emails, an investgator in Los Encinos from the beginning of my mission, and i just found out he got baptized a little while ago! I was pretty excited about that,

Week 48 Transfers

I`m going to Valdivia again! I started off in Valdivia Los encinos, and now i will be in Valdivia Calle Calle. It`s awesome  because i`m going to have one of my good friends from the mission, Elder Vega fromn columbia, as my companion. I`ll be there this wednesday! I`m kind of sad to be leaving this sector, especially because we have a lot of people that are progressing here. Alvaro is going to get baptized the 27th of May, and i`m sure that`s going to happen so i`m happy for that. I`m sure there will be a lot more people in my next sector though! 

I`ll have to write more next week, later guys!

Week 47

This sunday was mother`s day, so i got to skype home and it was awesome! The time flew by too fast, but it was cool to be able to see my family and talk with them with video instead of email.

This week we were kind of dissapointed because we had a super good week and had really good spirtual lessons, we even got 3 seperate investigators say they were going to go to church on sunday, but they didn`t come. That`s the biggest killer for the missionary work here, because when the investigadors don`t go to church, it haults their progress a ton and it`s hard to get them to progress again.

Other than that, i`ve been reading a little in Jesus the christ, which is a really complex book but really informational and i would reccomend it for anyone who wants tons of details and information about jesus`s life and explinations of new testament scriptures.

Week 46

One thing that was awesome, is now that the volcano erupted, the number of people at church has gone up considerably! Haha i thought that was pretty funny. We ended up getting a little bit of ash here, but not much, and right now life is back to normal like nothing ever happended. It was pretty cool to be able to see the eruption though! 

One dude we`re teaching, Alvaro, went to the church this sunday and one of the members planned a family home evening with him and their families all by themselves! It was pretty cool to have the ward accept him like that and start doing the missionary work themselves. It`s impossible to do it by ourselves, so we`re glad to have a great barrio here in rahue.

Everything else is going good, and i`m super excited to skype my family next week!
