What a week, and thank goodness we were able to leave on SOME days! haha We had a very busy week with lots to do and not enough time to get it all done! I have learned that it takes a lot of time when teaching someone incomparison as to when I was just doing it myself!
Lucky for me, ELder Valladares is very smart and learns quickly. He says he is a little worried that he is doing the work, but nothing stays in his memory. I think he will be just fine, really he just has to learn how to follow the many binders that have the answers to everything. Once he learns how and where to find that information, it will be easy! and we are still in week 2 so all is well! So the big projects we had this week was all the reports that had to be finalized and sent to Santiago by the 10th, (credit card report, and auto report, and various reference number reports.) But we at least got everything done on time! haha Although it was calling it close on a few things!
Also on Monday we went through and threw out all the things we dont need in the office. It wasnt dirty, but President wants to start a deep clean every 6 months and so that it always looks good. And we changed the order of things! The mission nurse just got here this last tuesday as well, and she is very nice and a great person! She is still learning spanish, but all is well! In the meantime, I got to do some translating phone calls for her! haha it was fun!
Tuesday we were working on auto insurance paper from the police and right after that elder young needed me to help him on a medical run, because A-he doesnt know how to get to this pension, and B- He still hasnt learned to drive a stick shift. haha But it was fun, just a late night. We got home and in bed by abotu 12:30. At least we could make some good contacts with some students from New Jersey! haha
Wednesday we Helped an Elder get redy for his flight home and everything, and then thursday we had to make a run to Villa Alemana Oeste and then to Limache. We had to get President´s signature and send off a report by THAT NIGHT. The bad thing was one of the reports we needed all the receipts and we never got all of the receipts from President. When we had him sign a paper that says "all is well" and he told me he was SURE he gave us them, so I guess I lost them. No creo, pero bueno. It wasnt a big deal, so we got his signatures and then went to Limache. We had to leave some papers for the Hermanas there and they were very grateful! Then on the drive home we went by Peña Blanca and I loved it!
However we HAVE taught a few lessons this week. And we do our best to talk with everyone in the streets. It has been a long and hard week in the office! haha But its fun, and I love the work I have! We are also changing a pension for some missionaries and well we shall be learning together, but all should be well! Well I love you all and I hope that everything is going great back at home! Its weird to think that the school will be starting again soon! haha Oh yeah, by the way I hit my 1 YEAR IN THE MISSION!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!! And I am still the youngest in the office. haha I love it here! Cuidanse!
