week 2 change 4

Hola again from Concón, Chile! Its a beautiful 24* outside and the waves are crashing just gorgeously! Ya, I am living in a tousist paradise! hahaha Its so awesome!


So this week started out just to throw another loop into things, Elder Baquedano got sent to Valparaiso on an emergency change! So I got ANOTHER new companion, Elder Despain (familia?)! He is from Powhatan, Virginia, and his dad is santa clause..... really! He has a year round christmas shop and its also a print shop! He is down to his last three changes, including this one and he is a great guy! He is actually very similar to Donovan Durfy, (SOMEONE has to tell Jeff Romans) but he is a great guy! I love him! and we work really well together! I am starting to feel really confident teaching and especially with Elder Despain! We roll right off of each other and its just working awesomelly! On the flip side, we are both new in Concón and so it is a complete learning experience! Right now we are just passing by a bunch of people who we have record of having listened to the missionaries in the past! And well we have to learn the boundaries and all but its tons of fun!


Nothing too exciting happened this week, except I finally went with all the right papers to do my carnet and I didnt get charged 30 mil for being late! YAY! I was a little nervous about that! And after this we are going to the doctor again and hopefully I get the last pin taken out of my finger! =D So that is great news for me!


As for the investigators, well a few of them are really receptive! We have just tried to get a feeling for the area and get to know the investigators! We also have come to realize that 2 different HUGE RICH communities are a major part of our area! We Went and passed by a few of the old investigators there and wow, its like a different atmosphere! I dont even understand it! haha Its like the streets are made of something more expensive and ALL the houses are at least 2 stories, some 3 and even 4! and some of the COOLEST designs you can think of! haha It was a lot of fun to just go in there and try! but we did gfet some return addresses and so we will be returning! Also, we are going to try and visit a lot of the members and see if we can find some investigators through part member families and things like that!


The only downside, its a big tourist attraction, and so a lot of the people we talk with dont live here, but its still fun! Actually, our sector goes right down to the beach, and I belive we have some investigators down there that we WILL be passing by! Its so gorgeous! ALso, everytime we go to viña, we go right on the beach in the bus and you can see the HUGE waves crashing and I love it everytime! haha


But thats how it goes, we also had a crazy war in the house the other day and well...it was DESTROYED!!!! Cereal boxes thrown, chairs flipped, hangers flying, airsoft gun shooting,.... ya it was worse than an atomic bomb! haha but tons of fun! and now its all cleaned! haha


Well that was my week, hopefully we can get some baptisms lined up, its a little difficult when we didnt get left with anything, but it shall be an adventure! =D Lovin it here! take care everyone I love you all!


Elder Marvin =D
