The man with the knife in his back...

Hey family thanx everyone for writting me and telling me happy b-day. It has been a good day. We woke up and went and played basketball and then we went to buy some pizzas at dominos and mountain dew and had a little party in the house. Oh man it is so weird the difference your birthday is in the mission. We are going to go back to the house and take a nap haha. Then we have some good appointments today that we are going to visit tonight. Ya i didnt get your package yet but i am sure i will get it on Thursday. But thanx everyone for all that you do. Thanx for thinking bout me and praying for me still. 

This has been another good week. One of the investigators we have, anastacia was suppost to be baptized like 3 weeks ago but the president had a interview with her dad and said that they need to come for another month to get more activated. So for the last 2 weeks the whole family has come. It is so cool, cause the mom isnt a member and she comes to support her little daughter. She wants to investigate the church more but she cant get baptized cause the dad is already married with someone in the united states and they have a lot of problems with getting separated so it will take a while but for right now everything is going well. If all goes well we will have another baptizm in 2 weeks. 

Right now we are focusing in finding more people. We are walking around a lot in the heat trying to find lots of people to teach. It is hard cause usually we get into a house 1 or 2 times then they dont want anything else so on the mission you have to always be finding people to teach. The more people you find, the more possibilies to help the little group of the chosen to progress. 

A couple days ago i was looking at a ensign in our house and i came across something really interesting. But it wont be as interesting if A Theador Tuttle isnt my great uncle, but unless i am lossing my memory, i think he is. Anyways i was reading and saw a pic of him and president hinkley and their wives. Here in chile they have a couple pages in the ensign that are just for chile. In one of the pages it talks about how president hinkley, when he was in the quorum of the 12 and A Theador Tuttle, (my great uncle?) came here to santiago and created the first stake here in chile. I thought it was pretty cool, cause now i am here trying to create more wards in chile. 

Now for a little crazy story that happened this week. We were walking down the street and this drunk guy called us over to talk to him. So we went over and shook his hand. We thought he was just a drunk guy that wanted to talk about the Gospel. But when we shook his hand i saw that he had dried blood on his left arm. So i wispered to my comp to be carefull. But the weird thing was that i couldnt see any wound on his body. Then he stands up and puts his had in a fist and pretends to stab my comp in the back... i thought this was really weird, then he turns around and shows us a stab wound that he has in his back. His whole back was covered in blood... so i told me comp to step back and not touch him cause who knows what kinds of diseases he could have. Then he tells us that the night before he had gotten stabbed in the back by one of his friends. I guess the knife was bad cause a part of it broke off and was stuck in his back... but it hadnt gone to the hospital yet. So we told him that he had to go there or he would die. He said that he didnt need the hospital. He said that we were angles and that we could heal him. He turned his back and asked me to take out the metal that was stuck in his back. I told him that i couldnt, and i saw that he had little bugs coming out of the wound... oh man i just about threw up. Just like in the last time we had trouble with a guy who had a heart attack, i dont know if you guys remember, all the people were just walking by and laughing at this guy. I couldnt believe it. People are so cold, and we know that it is a sign of the second coming. Anyways i guess one of the neighboors already called the ambulence so we just left. He got kinda mad that the “angels” as he called us wouldnt heal him but its all good. I hope that he got help. 

But ya that was my week. It has been a good one. It has been hotter than normal but i think i am getting used to it. The members say that in like 2 weeks the temperature should drop and it should start getting a little cooler so i am looking forward to that. But ya i hope you guys know that i love ya. Have a awesome week and keep doing good. Mom and dad thanx for your letters, it really lifted my hopes. It sounds like everyone at home is doing really good. Tell g-ma hall that i love her and i am really happy that she is better. I love you all tons. La iglesia es tan verdadera. Jesucristo murió por mi y por ustedes. Tengan una buena semana. Que dios les bendigas. Chao!!!

Les quiero
