Well the day of love has passed. In other words absolutely nothing for a lone single missionary in south america. But this was still a good week so here we go.
So this week was pretty normal till Thursday. Because it is the beginning of a new cambio our district meeting was on Thursday so i did an intercambio here in Loncoche with a guy in my district called Elder Aravena. He is chilean and training a peruvian. So we worked together on Thursday, found some...interesting people. One lady we aren't quite sure if she was just super ditzy or drunk but she said yes to every single question, if the what are your opinion questions, but she also said yes to getting baptized. Granted we arent sure if she understood us but i had Aravena challenge her so i know it wasn’t my spanish, haha. Other than that we went to this place outside of town to teach and hopefully find some people so that was cool. Friday morning we go to Pitrufquen to get medicine for my comp because he has been under the weather for a while now so we met up there and he had called Hermana Balden to set up a Dr appointment in Temuco. So right after lunch we had to go take a bus up to temuco. But here in Loncoche the buses are less than punctual so the bus didn’t get there until it was 45 minutes late. So that means we were also 30 minutes late. So we finally get to the clinic when we find that the doctor had left but they fit us in with someone else and we had my comps appointment. So he thinks my comp has gastritis. So he prescribed him some medicine to help and we have to go back next week to make sure everything. But my comp is feeling slightly better so hopefully he is good. But we get out of the clinic at like 8:10 so we got to the bus terminal to find that.....there are no more buses. Yayy...... so we call the ZLs to see what they want and they tell us to call another sector in temuco and stay the night. Not much else we can do here. So we stayed the night in another missionaries house. The good news is they have a really nice house and extra mattresses so we did not have to sleep on the floor. But i woke up still pretty tired and we came back to Loncoche. So that was one heck of an adventure. Sunday another short adventure Elder Yson and I had to go to Gorbea because they do not have priesthood members to bless the sacrament. So every week some elders go over to Gorbea to help out. But being Loncoche the bus didn’t come till super late so we got there like 10 minutes late and wow I have never felt more like a movie star we called when we got into Gorbea and they sent a car to get us so we didn’t have to walk all the way to the chapel, we had like 5 people outside to greet us and found out they had delayed the meeting until we got there. Yeah we are kind of big shots here. Haha so that was my famous person experience.
We went to Temuco this morning to do my paperwork to get a new carnet as I just got my passport with the new visa stuff. So that was pretty cool. And also sucky cause imagine the lines you expect at like the DMV but like double that. About and hour and a half wait. Super dope.
So I love y’all keep going strong. I ponderized the standard of truth this week. It was super awesome I really liked it. Especially about how no unhallowed hand can the stop this work from progressing (or something like that not sure how it goes in english) but it was really cool. This is the Lords work.
I love y’all more than you know,
Elder Galbreath
