Elder Washburn in Osorno Chile: Week 56 - Visit From Elder Viña del 70

September 22, 2014

Hey guys, how's it going?

I'll try and write a quick letter but the truth of the matter is nothing happened this week! Monday was a bit crazy, in the morning I got a call from the zone leaders telling me that I needed to call my district because we were going to have a zone meeting... on pday. So I called everyone up and we headed down to the chapel. Well we get there and they tell us that we will be housing all of the missionaries from Chiloe for the zone conference so we need to meet up at the bus terminal to collect them and help them write and do all of their pday stuff. So we did our shopping and then went to the mall to meet up with the zone leaders and everyone else and I find out that my buddy Elder Borup and his son are going to stay with us for the night! So we meet up at the mall, grabbed some KFC, wrote emails and came home. Afterwards we did divisions with the elders. Elder Karvfordt is still in training so we had a trio and we went to an awesome noche de hogar with the Bahamondez family and did a lot of contacting. Came home and hunted dogs with the new lazer pointer it was a blast!

Tuesday we all woke up early and got dressed so we could get to the stake center on time. The meeting with Elder Viña del 70 was amazing and I learned a lot! Afterwards we got a special leadership meeting with all of the district leaders of the area and it was really cool, I picked up a lot.

Wednesday we didn't work, we spent the whole day prepping for the ward activity. It was great and we had a lot of fun, but we didn't teach.

Because of the 18 de Septiembre (Chile's Independence Day) the next few days were filled with empanadas and juice (socializing) we spent all of our time with the members because we weren't allowed to leave with out fixed citas (appointments). Kinda killed me but the food was amazing!
