Week 85 and 86

I got to return to calbuco! We went there to do exchanges for a day and it was awesome because I got to see a lot of the people I knew back then. The mamita erica made us bloomin onion for lunch!  It was exactly like the Outback Steakhouse!

For Valentines  Day we got to see the Chilean airforce draw hearts in the sky, it was pretty cool. We had no idea they were going to be there, but when we were in the streets they flew right by us. 
We taught the restoration in English to Justin the ex-special forces! He is awesome ! He is a Southern Baptist from Texas, but he is still listening to us. His parents are coming down to visit him and they want to come to church this Sunday. 

One awesome story, that I was in Alerce on exchanges with another Elder, and our plans got cancelled so we didn"t know what to do. There was no one around, so we said a prayer, literally 20 seconds later, a bus driver pulls up next to us and says, ¨hey get on¨ apparently elder jacobs has talked to the bus driver one time. We talked to him for like 10 minutes, and we had no idea where he was going, and then we got to a street corner and he said ¨well, that`s the end of my route so see you guys later!¨and we got off there. He took us all the way to the other side of the sector, and it was actually right next to a recent converts house and we were able to teach him. It was a funny experience, because we just went with the flow and everything worked out perfectly.

Week 84

My new companion is elder germann, he studied in the air force academy for a year before the mission and he`s a cool dude.
we found an ex-special forces american here! his name is justin and he`s from texas. he served in afghanistan and iraq for 8 years total. We went running with him thursday morning. My companion found him like a week ago when they were eating at mcdonalds and the dude said, ¨no way, the mormons!¨ He has a lot of mormon friends apparently, and one of them served a mission. 
We went to another neighborhood that was pretty nice, and some kids started talking perfct english with us! they are the sons of englands ambassador here in chile, and they come here every summer. We are going to go back and teach them saturday night.
Ill send some pictures next week, we haven`t really had a chance to take too many pictures yet!
