Family and Friends,
Well I am going to have to stop
asking for forgiveness for not writing some weeks because I know that I will
not be able to write every week haha. But as for last week we had transfers and
I got a surprise transfer so I was not able to have time to write out a weekly
letter for all of you. A lot has happened these past two weeks so I will fill
you all in on what I can remember!
I got the transfers and found out
that I was heading up to Victoria! And that I was going to be with Elder
Fuimaono! To tell you a little bit about Victoria, it is the coldest sector in
the mission! I have heard a lot about it because Elder Casperson, Healey,
Katschke, and Shapiro were all here and they have all been companions of mine!
I am actually living with Elder Healey right now and it is a blast and really
fun living with someone who I have already been companions with, plus he is
from Davis County and a homie!
We are living right now with four
gringos so we have a really good time in the house and it is really funny. The
companion of Elder Healey is Elder Wallace who was my zone leader in Temuco and
he is a homie too so it’s just the best house ever. Our house is really cool, it’s
a lot like the house in Millahue, but here we don’t have a Mamita so we have to
do all of our laundry ourselves, which means there are always clothes hung up
by the fire!
To tell you guys a little bit more
about my companion Elder Fuimaono, he is from Hawaii and is, as you can tell by
his name, Polynesian. He is really funny and we get along really well with each
other. We have had an amazing week and we were able to have a lot of
success even with this sector that hasn’t had success in a long time. We had
four investigators in church yesterday! And they are all really good! The only
problem is that we have a lot of investigators that need to get married here
haha. I think that that is the biggest problem here in Chile.
Saying bye to everyone in Millahue
was pretty hard. I had met some amazing people and I love the members there. I
was able to pass by successful for ten houses in 3 hours so that was amazing to
say bye to all of them. I will miss that sector a lot.
Probably the funniest thing that
happened this week was our activity that we had in the church. It was supposed
to be an activity where people brought desserts and stuff and it turned out
amazing! It was the most successful activity that this branch has had in a long
time! We were cooking cinnamon and cookies all day and practicing our skit that
we did. We did the thing where there are four people but it looks just like two
midgets who are together and having a conversation. I have it all on video and
the people just thought it was the funniest thing ever. I was the arms for
Elder Fui so I had a good time:)
On Saturday I was asked to give a
talk for the next day. Gotta be prepared
as a missionary. But it went really well! I surprised myself on how easily I
gave it without preparing at all. The Spanish is not a problem now and the
gospel and teachings and scriptures are just habit in my mind now. All in all I
have loved my time here in Victoria. I’m not able to write a lot this week and
I will try and answer other questions that you have next week! Love all of you!
Have a good week!
