Hola familia y amigos. Como estamos este semana? This was a pretty crazy week, as I had guessed, with changes and all that, but it was mostly just a crazy 2 days that were just loaded! Sunday and monday were pretty regular, except we repassed anything that Elder Castillo never explained for me, and said some good byes to a few families with him. Then we just had to prepare and make sure that we had everything ready for tuesday morning. Tuesday when I woke up 4 of the 8 of us were gone, (oh ya, new assistent got there early and so dd the new secretary, so we had 8 of us in one pension) and that was kinda crazy then I realized Elder Greer went to santiago, and the assistents were getting elderes from the bus station. So I got ready and I went down to the office to start dirrecting people and man. Before I was in the office, I liked to be outside and talk with everyone, now that I am in the office and know that there is a lot to do, I avoid going outside! haha But it was still fun. The new "gringas" that got here from the states got here at 5:40am, so we had orientation for them and everything done by 2pm! It was crazy cause normally they finish by like 5 or 6! So that was good for the news to get out and adjust to their new areas. My orientation went well, there was 4 latinos and 3 girls from the states, so I did it in both english and spanish and it was pretty fun! but I couldnt remember how to say a few things in english, so they had to struggle with me! Then lunch was the usual empanadas other stuff. Then the rest of the day we had to get all the missionaries to their bus and make sure everything went down alright and enter everything in the computers, and well we didnt get out in the streets on tuesday! haha Wednesday was even crazier, I had to call the cleaning lady, get a pension repairman sent to a pension, enter a thousand things, go to the bank to pay some visas, reorganize a lot of papers, look for some old bills, file some REALLY old bills, and it was just a crazy day! I got a lot of "I remember my first week flying solo too..." but more than that I just had a billion things to do! haha but it all went well and we did get in the streets that day! The rest of the week was pretty normal, although I worked really hard not to buy super greasy lunch this week, only had a burger one day! haha but that was way better than the rest of the elderes here! haha The great challenge of the office. haha I also got to call my family this week to organize the call for sunday! That was fun, I did it from my desk too! HA! I also got a lot of letters this week like almost everyday! haha It was pretty cool, but now I am way behind on replying to the letters! haha thats alright! Thats about all that I got for this week. I am dying for a baptism, but its hard. I just gotta work hard and I really think we should get an investigator to church this week! I really hope so at least! I love you all! Cuidense! Elder Marvin
