Hey guys!
It's been a great week, how are you all doing? The weeks been a
little nuts with Tsunami scares and General Conference and everything else, but
it was good one and I'm loving everything down here.
Monday after I wrote you guys was pretty normal. We walked around I looked for masks for Dad
and Grant. I found some really cool ones
and some gaucho stuff for me.
Afterwards, we met up with our district leader
and took a bus out to Lider. Wow this one is big even for the US standards and
more importantly they had Yorks peppermint patties and Reeses Pieces so that
was delicious. We came back and started
work. Had a lesson/dinner with a member and then we tried to teach a husband of
menos activo and were fed a bit more. We came home stuffed a bit before ten.
Tuesday was pretty good. We had district meeting which was ok
and then had lunch with our lider misional (we don't have a mamita in this
sector) Lunch was pretty good, we had fried chicken and french fries. It would
have been a pretty normal meal if I hadn’t accidently chosen and eaten the
espina with heart, liver, lungs and all. I was then favored to ry luche, a
special type of purple algae that only grows in this part of Chile. It tasted
like iron, nothing more. We then contacted a bit before coming back and having
a noche de hogar with a menos active. It was fun, we played trenchito (the game
we played in Villarrica with the funny clothes and trying to eat a chocolate
bar with a knife and fork). We came home and everything was normal until 11 pm
when we got a call from the zone leaders saying that a tsunami had hit Vina del
Mar and that they were moving elders away from the coast to our home. Bad day
to tell us this being April 1st and everything! We thought it was a joke until Elders
Aedo, Borup, Gibelyou and Marsden came to our house. A bit dramatic seeing that
Punta Arenas is kinda tsunami proof. But it made for a fun night!
Sorry guys that’s all I could get in this week. I'll have to
fill you in next week.
Have a great week!
