Good afternoon hall family. How is everything going in good ol alpine. This has been a pretty hard week again. I don’t know why but I am just trying to work through it all. My pulga friends are still around keeping me company. I got this huge bite right now that is bigger than a golf ball. I have to go into Santiago, (2 hours away and about 15 bucks to get there) and have the doctor look at my toe and my bite. I hope I am not dying… haha jk I will be fine. But over all my toe is doing a lot better. But also this week everyone in the apartment, besides my comp, came down with parasites… Oh man it has been heck. My stomach has been killing me for the last 4 days and I wont even talk about the side effects… Haha but its all good, its just part of the mission. I just hope soon it will go away.
A couple questions really quick. First off, did I have any relatives that served here in Chile? Cause I am always hearing from people that a elder hall served here and he was really awesome. So I have just been wondering about that. Second, if you guys want some kind of souvenirs you just need to ask me. Ill try to look for stuff that you guys want but keep in mind that I am here to serve the Lord and I wont have much time. But if anything comes to your minds, just let me know. Also this week I sent you guys a package of pics so make sure to write me and tell me that they work. One last thing, my batteries and charger for my camera are dead. If you guys could it would be nice to get a new set. They are really expensive here or I would just buy some. So if you guys could send me a little package with that, my aussy hair gel, a couple American dollars and maybe one or 2 old spice deodorants (the after hours kind, I love that kind) that would be nice. If not, I will just live with what I got haha.
So this week I found out that 3 of my investigators that I was teaching in my last ward got baptized. Manuel, the 17 year old kid, and Gina and Becky, the 2 sisters that we were teaching. They also have 2 others on the way. It stinks that I cant go but its all good.
This week we decided since we don’t have very many people to teach that we would go a full day of knocking doors. It was the first time in my whole mission that I have done it but it was awesome. We knocked door after door for a whole street. We knocked the whole street, and the street was a nice big street. We ended up finding about 7 new people who are awesome to teach. We found this atheist and we are going to go back tomorrow to talk to her but she is awesome. We are having a couple challenges with the investigators that we have but its all good. With maricela we have had a lot of challenges but if all goes well she will be baptized in the next couple weeks.
Also we have had problems with our ward mission leader. He would always flirt with our investigators and with young women. Then when we told him confidential info about one of our investigators he went and told her about it… So we told him and asked him to stop and he freaked out. Now he is trying to spread rumors all around the ward and it is just a big mess. We are hopping that we can solve the problem soon but I don’t know how long it is going to be.
And there ya have it, that was my week. Me and my comp are getting along and we are working hard. I love the mission, it is just so awesome. There are so many people that are in need of our help and we are trying to find them right now. I really have grown to love the people and culture of chile. It is awesome even though some things that they do doesn’t make any sense. I love my Lord and Savior for all that he has done and all that he continues to do. Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten of the Father, the Redeemer of the world. Thanx for all your love and support and prayers that you guys are always giving me. I hope you all have a awesome week. I love you all more than you will ever know.
Love
Elder hall
