Hola mis amigos! Comó estamos¿ =D Everything here is going great and holy wow, this week FLEW by! Probably because of all the different htings we did!
The week started out pretty normal I was glad to get done with the doctor and know that I dont have to return! YES!!!! I can actually do something fun on a mondy cause I have time, or even just relax! haha Then tuesday was like the best day thta Elder Despain and I have had together! We were both just having a great time, and the funny thing is we were knocking doors in cuico landia! It was just great cause we both were excited and hving a great time! And we actually had some success with it! Although the funniest was when we knocked a door that had a huge fence and qwe could barely see through it, but a lady came out and Elder Despain ">Hola, can we shake your hand (its pretty rude to turn that down here, they are loving and its kinda a big deal not to saludar someone) and she said "no, gracias" and then we just had a really long silence cause Elder Despain drew a blankand didnt know what to do! The he said "ok..................muy amable (very friendly)......." and then the lady shut the door at the slowest you can possibly close it! hahah Then I burst into laughter! It was pretty funny! Then we got in the RICHEST house I have been in, EVER! They had stuff I couldnt even tihnk of buying! haha But we were teaching an elderly lady we found the other day when the owner of the house, her daughter, came in and she looked at us and in an angry loud voice asked "WHO OPENED THE DOOR!!?¿?¿?!?!?¿" I was sure we were going to get kicked out. Its not like we did anything wrong, but she was a little freaked. Then she calmed down and told us she was going to go shopping, but sat down with us and listened to the lesson and accepted a baptismal fecha!!!!! (date to prepare for) It was SO AWESOME!!!
Then wednesday in the morning we had 2 other pair of missionaries working here cause we are having a hard time finding people, so we just had a lot to work in our sector and we had a lot of success with that! THen after that we had intercambios and Elder Diaz (a different one than the one that lives with us) stayed with me. We had a tn of success too! We talked with a lot of people and actually found two new people who accepted a baptismal date to prepare for! IT was awesome!
The rest of the week was good too, nothing too exciting but still good! The sad thing, we still didnt get anyone to come to church, but they will! We just gotta keep trying!
Then today we went to Quintero for a Zone activity and we played beach volleyball on the beach!!!! RIght by the water it was SO COOL!!!!!! and yes, it is allowed, since our mision litterallly goes to the water front, we just can not get in the water! But it was gorgeous and we had tons of fun!
It was a really good week and I know that we are going to really get things going here if we keep working hard! I am trying to keep my companion excited about working , and through the small things he is really going to get it going and we are going to help lots of people! He just realy doesnt like finding people, but we werent left with anything, so we HAVE TO! haha thats life!
Well I love you all! Its beautiful here! The weather has been funny lately, but its starting to get colder, but still has some ridiculously hot days! Oh well! haha Loves you all!
Les quiero!
Elder Marvin
ps - Oh and we also had a lesson with this crazy old guy! He would not let us talk and all he wanted to do was cut us and tell us we are spoiled americans cause while he works everyday and makes 12 mil (like $24) we are getting paid by the church to go to different parts of the world and work 2 hours a day! What kind of lies!?!? So we told him how that was wrong and explained how we worked beforehand and he called us liars! CRAZY OLD MAN! Then we were just explaining our families and he said "I dont belive you..." CHUTA, este tipo es loco! haha more "pps" for the blog
pps- We also had a conference this week and it went really well! I even did the purpose up in front of everyone, but thats easy! and I got to talk with Elder Ray, and Elder Vargas, and Elder Dipaz! *spring break* All went super great.... Except for the fact that I had to get a FLU shot! And we all know how much I LOVE shots.... ugh.... 6th Chilean needle I hve had to deal with.... urgh.... hahaha
