hey family i am glad you all got a good laugh out of my experiences. thats what i am here for, to be mocked...haha but ya this has been another awesome week. just to keep you guys updated i checked my weight again and guess what?!? i am up another 5 pounds... haha wow i really dont know how i can fit into my pants. i think i need to go on a diet or i am going to have to buy all new cloths. mom just to let ya know i got the wedding invite but i still havent gotten the package that you said you send like 5 or 6 weeks ago... haha hopefully whoever got it is enjoying my stuff haha.
ya well just to let ya know i got changes. i was not expecting it at all. i have only been here for 6 weeks but the lord knows what he is doing. it is crazy how close you can get to people in only 6 weeks. i have many ward members here that i really love. oh man, i hate changes. but wish me luck and dont forget to pray for me. i am leaving behing my little friend constanza who will be baptized in 2 or 3 weeks.
so we had another adventure this week. i dont know why all the sudden all this weird stuff is happening but hey what can ya do? we were in the house and my comp went into this back room that we never use. there are 2 old love seats back there which had blankets on them. my comp decided he wanted to take off the blankets to send them into the office.
i was reading the Book of Mormon and all the sudden i hear this scream like a little girl... so i go running into the back expecting to see a dead body or something. haha my comp is standing on a seat screaming and pointing at something in the corner...it turns out to be a rincon spider. this is the only deadly thing in chile besided the water and traffic... if you get bit by one of this things you will die in 24 hours. and these things are fast so i was a little afraid. finally we kill the spider but we know that there are probably 20 other rincons in the seats. so we just went insane and started throwing stuff around and killing these spiders. i am not going to lie, it was scary but fun haha. at the end we found 7 rincon spiders and killed them. it was a sweet adventure in the land of chile haha
but ya this week i saw a miracle. about 3 weeks ago we taught this family that lives in our sector and they had a friend there visiting. the family wasnt very interested but their friend was really interested. so we got her information and sent it to the missionaries in a different sector. i didnt really think about it any more cause we never see what happens to the references that we send and this family ended up not wanting to listen to us anymore. so i was feeling bad like it was a waste of time.
then this sunday we had a meeting in the church. we left the meeting and this member of another ward called us over. i was pretty confused and to my suprize i see this woman who we had taught a couple weeks back...she wanted to come to church but she didnt know what time it was at. she was explaining to this member that she was looking for a missionary who was tall, white, (fat) and a red head. that is when we left the meeting that we had and see saw me...she explained that the missionaries had passed by 2 times during the week but didnt tell her where the chapel was. she wanted to come to church and she somehow found my chapel. we gave her the direction to the other chapel that corresponded to where she lived. and right now she is preparing to get baptized... it is so cool to see that even when you dont know that you helped someone you can. you have a bigger impact on the lives of people that you know. it was awesome to be able to see that i was able to help someone even though she isnt in our sector.
ya well that was my week. i hope you guys have a awesome thansgiving. i will be down here at the bottom of the world working my butt off... haha shae i hope all goes well with your baby. also it stunk to hear about byu and how they got destroyed but its all good cause i am down here and it doesnt matter. haha i love you all tons. i hope you have a awesome week. thanx for everything fam.
love
