Hey guys how are you doing?
It's been a pretty cold week down here in Antarctic. In
fact everyone’s been telling us that this is the worst winter they've had in
quite a while, I didn't think it was too bad but our pipes did freeze this Friday,
other than that everything's been normal until Saturday when I was called by
the President. Well actually, he first called Elder Barney and then at about
10:40 he called me right before we went to bed to tell me that I'm the new
district leader of Presidente Ibañez (sector), which I thought was a little
strange because I'm compañero minor right now, but hey I'm excited for the new
challenge! I also heard there's a McDonald’s in Puerto Montt! Other than
that it's been a fairly normal week. I got some awesome leather scripture cases
from Oscar and Diana and got bit by a dog but my thermals saved me! So all in
all, it's been a really bitter sweet week.
Monday we played futbol like normal every pday. I'm getting a
bit better and now I'm really starting to get good at putting it in the corner
right now. After we played a bit and we went up to Lider and bought our food
with the rest of the guys and then headed back home to put the food away and
get Elder Barney a hair cut. Afterwards we taught Hermano Angel and then we
came home.
Tuesday we woke up went to district meeting and then headed back
to eat lunch and study, afterwards we went out and walked a lot trying to
contact a few references we had recieved without too much luck. We then went to
Sebastian’s house and taught him about the atonement and the importance of the
sacrament, he still won't come back to church until he reads the Book of
Mormon.
Wednesday we went out in the morning to work on el rescate and
then we had lunch. Afterwards we studied and then went up to the mar to teach a
few menos activos. We ended up having a lesson with a really old menos activo
that hermano Hernandez introduced us to, he was nice with Hernandez but when we
came by ourselves Wednesday he wasn't so nice.
Thursday we walked around a lot. I did the math and
figured out that since I've gotten to this sector I've walked about 1800
miles... fun stuff! At about 9 we had a decent lesson with hermano Johnny. His
divorce papers are just about done so he can marry his girlfriend.
Friday our pipes froze and we did a really fun airplane
activity. I played pilot and crashed a plane filled with 30 people twice, we
then had a couple of "angels" lead them through the kingdoms of
glory.
Saturday, I found out I'm leaving Punta Arenas. Oscar and Diana
gave me some awesome leather scripture cases and I got bitten by a dog (he
got it worse then he gave). We then went to a baptism with Oscar and Dahianna.
They are doing great!

Sunday we went out and did divisions with hermano Aguero and Gutierez
and taught some really great lessons. Oscar and Dahianna came to church and I
put Suzanna with a fecha.
Sorry guys, it's a bit short in details but it's been a crazy
week and I'm out of time I love you all!
