Wow so the whole family is up in Idaho this week! Haha and my comps
family is at lake powell so you guys just kind of traded. The pictures
were really fun to see! Id love to go visit there after! Just not during
winter haha! We gotta come to Chile during winter because they are in
summer :) But ya, this week it rained a ton...it hasnt hardly rained the
whole year and now it rained more than it has rained for like 15 years.
It started Wednesday and we were in an exchange. We walked the whole
day in the rain and finally it stopped and we finally entered a
house..haha. But we finished the exchange the next morning and we were
walking back to their house early (it had rained all night long) and it
was raining. The streets were filled with water and mud and they were
like rivers! it was crazy im serious. So our district leader called us
(i was with one of the zone leaders) and said that the President told
them to tell us that we cant leave for the day. Well we were already
outside so we just continued to get to the zone leader´s house. A taxi
saw us trying to cross a street filled with water and picked us up! He
took us to their house and i legit felt like i was in the Preach My
Gospel story (sorry if you dont know it, go read preach my gospel haha
missionaries should know what im talking about) and he didnt even want
money but Elder Pope (ZL from Arizona!) gave him 1000 pesos (like less
than 2 dollars). He was really nice but didnt want anything because he
was catholic..So we just stayed in the ZL´s house until lunch and
couldnt work the whole day. Luckily we live on the 5th floor so its
never gonna flood haha! Dont worry.
This
week we also had Zone Conference (random fact, we can now play soccer
again!) haha but it was a really good conference and they talked a lot
about keeping the fruits of our labor and helping people go to the
temple shortly after their baptism. President Videla showed the
missionaries that taught and baptismed them 30 years ago. You guys dont
know Paul Garner? Or someone Wilbur or something i dont remember haha.
There wasnt much time to have normal work because of the rain and
conference and other things but we had a few lessons. Its really weird
going from my last sector with so much work to here were they are
wondering what is happening because this sector has had low lessons for
like more than half a year now, even though we are working and trying
everything. But it helps a lot with patience and diligence. I know we
will eventually see results and fruits, im just waiting for the day.
Time is going by too fast, cant believe im on the downhill.
Love you all! Miss you!

The
same ''Cerro Renca'' with all the clouds one day and you cant even see
the cross or the letters ''Renca La Lleva'' and then another day when
the big letters that said ''Renca'' fell because of all the rain and
wind!
