week 1 Change 4

Where in the world do I start! New Area, New companion, and lots of new experiences! haha


So this week I arrived in Con Con and CHUTA it is GORGEOUS!!!!!! I loved the bus ride in with the waves crashing on the rocks and the waves here are HUGE!!! Its so awesome! haha And then my first day I got to unpack a little and we went over some goals and things like that! My new companion is Elder Baquedano, he is from Honduras and this is his first change as senior companion; he only hs two changes more than me too! haha But he loves to do practices furing companionship study and WOW! I have learned a TON from him in this first week! He is kinda a funny guy cause he looks like he is always serious, but most nearly all of it is a joke! Not in a bad way, he just likes to joke! haha Luckily he wants to work hard ajd have some baptisms! Unfortunately he didnt have any investigators ready for baptism, but after this first week we have 6 people with a baptimal date that they are working for! We were literally talking with everyone about baptism it was AWESOME! He has helped me to really understand what "keeping the destination in mind" really means! haha Its been great!


I also, am living with strictly latinos! haha Its quite possibly one of the craziest things I have done in my life! It is tons of fun though! ALthough I am pretty sure these letters on mnoday´s are the only days that I speak english! haha I am loving it! They definitely live a little....ok a LOT different than me, but its fun learning how they do things and to enjoy this time here in Con Con with them!


The only bad thing that happened this week was we went to a birthday party of an investigator, and her mom brought us chocolate milk....well she said it was chocolate milk. I dont know what she did wrong or if the milk was bad, but it was like it had grapes in it. I gagged it down and she offered more but I clearly said I was perfect! haha Just thinking about it makes me sick. then we didnt feel very good afterwards! haha Thats life. Then today I was suppossed to get my "nails" taken out of my finger, but HOLY DIFFICULT! I had to come and then take xrays and then go get them at another hospital and blegh.... and I had to finish my carnet today. Oh, I mean do the whole thing, and well the registro de civil (civil register? idk) was closed, so now I am going to get fined tomorrow when i finish it. I sure as heck dont hope its too much, but its kinda dumb cause I had today to do it and then I got a doctors appointment scheduled and we waited hour and a half for the doctor to tell me I hd to go to the office (10 blocks away) and bring another paper. Chuta, I just am tired! All day in Viña running around. We grabbed a single empenada for lunch. Oh and we had a surprise entrevista with the president in the mission house cause he needed to see how things are. So my day was hectic, but overall great week!


Oh, and I started cleaning the pension this morning.... it needs a lot of help! but there isnt a single cleaning equipment/ soap! ya, I got work ahead of me! haha but that alright! I also need to learn my area lots better still! haha but all is well! I am working hard, and so im banking on getting some baptisms! WOO!!! haha Chao!
