State shoot.

Ok so maybe that doesn’t actually exist down here but sounds legit. 

So this week was pretty good we just kinda went to town working getting stuff done. Found a new investigator this week but she couldn’t come to church this week. But hopefully next week. 

So this week we also offered service like 4 times. We painted a house, chopped wood, helped put drywall up in a guys house and completely took the outside of a house out. It was a pretty exciting. Chopping wood was...interesting. So this guy we found has a ton of wood outside of his house and asked us for help. So 4 missionaries show up at his house with 2 axes expecting to help chop a ton of wood. We showed up at 9, i didn’t do many exercises that morning so i could just go to town chopping that wood. Then we show up and they guy was still freaking sleeping we had to leave to go do other stuff. So we ended up only working for him for like half an hour. Then we went to our counselor in our stake presidency and helped him with his wood as well. So that was frustrating but we did work so that was fun.

Also new this week i gave a talk in church. First time i gave a talk in the ward i am in now. Every other ward you present yourself and stuff but here they don’t have us do that i don’t know why. But so no one in Chile can pronounce my name so its always fun listening to them announce my name. The final speaker will be elder...always a pause and then the attempt. So my joke is usually telling them how and a joke about being gringo. It works. Then i spoke about the importance of being examples as members to the world and always sharing the gospel and when it is necessary to use words. I love that quote from General Conference. And how being an example is great but we also have to share with our words and try and use the missionaries. Their are some really cool quotes from Miracle of Forgiveness i used and it was really cool. But the guy in front of me spoke forever so to not make sacrament go forever i only spoke for like 5 minutes. But good brief summaries of everything. But i learned a lot so that’s what’s important. 

Hey i love you guys have a great week!
