Sorry that I'm not writing monday it was a holiday on monday so all the shops were closed so that means our access to internet was also closed. Also because the semifinals of the american cup is being played today in Concepcion everything is crazy.
But yeah so my week was pretty good this week, work work and more work, but thats kind of the grind here. It may be hot up there but down here it got cold in a hurry. Light jacket at like 1-4 but before and after that its sweater and jacket with a scarf time. Like a boss. But yeah just kind of moving on here.
So thursday we had a conference with like half of our mission with the Area Presidency his name is Elder Gonzalez it was really cool the dude is crazy smart he would like start talking about something, cite three scriptures from memory, half in english and half in spanish because he likes how it says parts in english, then keep going. He would answer questions like that and just go. It was super cool, but he talked about the book of mormon and how we need to apply it to peoples lives in order to get them to read it not just have them read the introduction or the promise in Moroni but apply an actual part of the Book of Mormon to their lives before we read them the promise. Its really cool . We have given out quite a few Books that way now and it has really worked. Pumped.
We played soccer on these hardcore turf fields that are close to our house on monday. It was pretty cool only because it was turf. Still haven’t gotten hooked on soccer yet but I'm trying. I scored a goal though but other than that I was mostly just goalie/defender. Got a turf burn and it reminded me of playing real football though. So that felt good got some blood pumping at least. Then on monday after playing we painted our house. It was bad before lots of mold but now it looks good, we used this paint that like prevents mold from growing again and so we are all happy. I switched things up in our room to so my flag is on my side of the room not over the desk. Holds up better. And my comp hung up this little Argentina flag. Its small and pathetic in comparison to the Stars and Stripes. But such is life. No its actually kinda cool looking now because its new and we both have our flags up in our room. Diversity!
We also had a movie night as a ward put on by the missionaries and we watched Meet the Mormons it was pretty cool. Because it still isn’t here in Chile lots of people came like we almost had 40 people. Which for an activity without food is pretty big. Then our ward had three other baptisms afterwards which was AWESOME. Really cool people. And yeah thats kind of the week.
Sorry for the long wait with very little reward. But I'm doing great still. Working, pushing along.
I am still looking for a tailor but I think I found a lady gonna bring a pair of pants to her tomorrow to see if she can do them and do a good job.
Love y'all have a great week week and a happy 4th of July, This is the land of the free and the home of the Brave..
'Merica!
