Week 70 and 71

This week was pretty funny because we focused on talking to people in the street, but in fun ways! Because sometimes the people in the street don`t want to talk to us because they`re intimidated and shy.
One day, we brought my soccer ball with us and i challenged the people to see if they could juggle more times than me, and if they could they would win a candy. Obviously, no one beat me, but we gave them candy anyways. Another one is my companion used his camera and asked the people if he could take pictures of the flowers in their yards and that one worked pretty well. People here love talking about their gardens.
Another one which was the best, is that i pretended to be scared of a dog and the dude invited us into his house and we ended up teaching him a lesson.
Besides that, Camila wants to go on a mission! The sister missioanrys have been helping us a lot with her and Camila has been going with them to teach people. She has a calling in the stake to teach the book of mormon class and she has tons of friends in the ward. She has also introduced us to her friends and we`re going to be teaching one of them this week. She`s preogressing extremely fast and is awesome

Week 68 and 69

These last 2 weeks have been great! The only bad thing is that i have had the flu for the past couple of days, but i`m getting better.
Camila`s baptism was yesterday! She is 24 and her profession is singing. She sung on the voice Chile and she also performs in concerts in Chile. She`s going to go to mexico and san francisco next year to do a tour. We found her knocking doors late at night one night, and she progressed really fast! I had the opportunity to baptize her and i also played a piano song for her baptism. She was super happy and the baptism service was really spiritual.
The ward we are in right now hasn`t had a baptism for more than a year so it was good to finally  get one and get the members more excited about the missionary work.
One funny thing that happended, was that when we were filling the baptismal font, the water heater turned off and we didn`t know it. On the surface, the water felt warm, but when we got in it was freezing cold. Not a very pleasant experience at the time,. but now it`s really funny!
