Hello Everyone,
First of all Happy Fathers Day Dad. Hope your Sunday was
great and I thought about you all day. This week was pretty uneventful but it
flew by so that was good. The CCM schedule is hard for me. It's the same thing
everyday which gets pretty boring.
Last pday was fun. We went and got empanadas which were
pretty good and just walked around Santiago. We found this cute little bakery
and I got a pan chocolate. I thought of you Dad. The pastries and bread here
are so good. Like honestly, I don't know why France gets all the
attention.
We got a new transfer of missionaries in this week and it
was 5 districts!!! There are about 85 missionaries here now...They are all
super nice but I miss the quaintness of the CCM. Also Luke Worthington got here
this week so that's kinda cool. He is literally huge and his head almost touches
the ceilings here. But...considering of the mission there will be no
buckets...BYU friends better have appreciated that one. No I'm kidding but it
has been fun to kinda get to know him.
Some highlights from this week-
My comps and I go talk to people out by the temple everyday
which is fun. It's always a confidence booster to recognize I know some Spanish
and the people are so friendly and willing to help me learn.
Elder Clark bought soy sauce because the food is so bland so
we were taking soy sauce shots all week with our district and all our
teachers. That provided a little bit of entertainment.
My comps and I were walking back to the hospedaje one day
and there is construction going on at the chapel. Shake it off was playing on
the radio so obviously we stopped and had a little dance party on the soccer
court next to the chapel. I miss music....
Hermana Kleinman ironed a hole in her skirt this week. We
were all dying it was so funny. My comps and I are always laughing which I really love.
Also we continue to buy strawberries from the lady outside
the gate as a district and we all sit in the common room and eat them together
at night. It is really fun and fresh food tastes so good!!!
Nothing else really happened but i'm excited for pday and the
temple today. My comps and I are matching so I will send a picture of that next
week.
Quick spiritual thought. I was reading in D&C 138 which
is all about the spirit world and verses 47 and 48 talk about family history
work. I know that is something we have been focusing on in church and as a
family. It talks about how we promised our ancestors that we would help them
through doing family history work. I loved that and it made me want to be
better!!! So challenge to the fam...Try to find a name and then get all the
temple work done for that person!!! When I get home I will do it too!
Love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!!!
