Well that subject line just about sums up the week. Good week this week just lots of confusion and stuff moving. But that is kind of the life here in the mission or no? But here goes the tale of Elder Galbreaths week. So tuesday was like a half day because we had district meeting in Pitrifquen so when we got back we had to go and see at what time a bus leaves for temuco because we had to leave that night. So we got back to Loncoche at 2 to find the only bus that leaves is.....at 3. So we are kind of freaking but luckily we find another bus company that leaves at 730 so that is what we wanted. So we went to lunch to find...half the branch in the house! It was a branch activity i didn't know about so we had asado! Super good called a disco where they put the put in this big bowl that they put over the coals so the juices all stay and makes the meat taste amazing. Usually its like 2 or 3 types of meats at a time so it is delicious. So that was super awesome and random. But after that we passed by Polet to get her ready for her baptism Saturday (!!!!!!) and we start talking to her about it and she tells us how she isn’t sure about it now because she doesn’t like the sacrament or prophets. Also she basically denied the testimony she received about the Book of Mormon. So we are going to see what happens with her but it wasn’t her baptism. Kind of left me frustrated. So we went back packed our bags to go to temuco to go to the activity of the mission!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO (puts lights and fireworks here.)
So we went to a place in temuco that you say cat-ree-wall-a. So saw a friend there slept on the floor and got up way to early in the morning to get to the church at 7 so we could get to the activity in Angol at10. So that was exciting but definitely worth it it was so fun to see everyone from the mission. Got to see my dad (Elder Sanders) right before he ended his mission. That was weird. Also got the generational pic because Elder Duffin was there as well.
Saw everyone from the district in the CCM and just the whole mission. Really cool. Had some great talks by the Bluths i really liked Hermana Bluth´s talk she started off with the story of the 3 small trees (if you haven’t heard it go and read it its awesome.) Then she shared how God has a plan for each of us and how we need to be humble enough to accept it, reverent enough to hear it, and teachable to be able to learn from it. I really loved it especially cause it humbled me because what happened with Polet really got me fired up. But God has his plan for each of us and we need to accept it. Super good talk. Then we passed the time to the sketches and to some ours up... We had a life size passalong card that sang a cathchy song and i was a drunk who ended up getting baptized with the family. So basically a day in the life. Super great stuff.
But I got yalls package and the a pack of the girl scout cookies did not make it the bus ride. I shared with my zone thats why. But they
are delicious. I never know if i want to just have one incredibly happy blissful day and just go ham or if i should enjoy them little by little. I am going little by little. For now. So Saturday it started like misting strongly and Sunday it turned into a straight up downpour i was like what the heck its supposed to be December and hot. This is not ok. But so that was interesting, luckily it wasn’t raining enough to stop these super awesome couple we found from going to church though!!! We found them saturday and they commited to go to church and they did!! we stopped by and went with them it was super awesome. So i am super excited for them.
Also my towel was drying outside when it started raining so it was absolutely soaked when i went to shower. So i am glad for the 2 hand towels mom sent with me. Saved my life. Also its a good thing my waterheater has batteries because our lights went out sunday morning.
Did i mention it was an interesting day? So i got absolutely soaked and really hoping my shoes are dry when we get back to the house. But to end all this its cambio time and Cederstrom is getting out and Elder England is coming here. Another new guy who got here with my son. So that will be fun. Heard he doesn’t speak much spanish so that will be interesting. So here goes nothing!
Mom this pday we played soccer on this big turf field in Pitrufquen. I am really bad but my slide tackles are on point. Only thing i got going for me. We cook every now and then if we want something for dinner but Elder Quezada is super good at cooking so he usually does it. But he gets back at us because latins don't actually clean. Seriously house is a mess until Elder Galbreath gets frustrated monday and cleans everything. usually elder Cederstrom doesn’t like to clean up after others so he does his stuff.
Star wars......no comment.
Love yall tons keep on going.
Elder Galbreath
