Well this week in Coronel went
pretty fast with the New Year and everything. I don´t have much to write about
because this week was just a lot of contacting, looking for people to teach in
the extremely hot weather like usual. I am fried, but only on my face and half
of my arms haha missionary tan lines are the best.
At the start of the week we came
across this woman who just told us how bad she hated Mormons and was just
bashing us but then we said we were from the United States, she invited us
right on in haha. That´s been happening a lot with us lately where people let
us in but we are pretty sure that they aren´t interested in our message, but just
interested in us and want to talk to some gringos. The new year for us as
missionaries was pretty much nothing. New Year´s Eve we spent with the Ortega Family, the same place as Christmas, where again, we spent the
night with way too much blasting loud Latino dance music, eating too much food,
but this night we had to be in our house by 11 and we decided to walk home
instead of having a drunk guy drive us again haha. We almost got attacked by a
gang of dogs which was pretty sketchy.
I passed the new year laying in my
bed and I´m not sure if I was awake at 12 or not, pretty boring. I will be here
for the whole year of 2015 which is crazy to think but I’m looking forward to
the experiences I am going to have. 2014 was definitely one of the best years
of my life and 2015 should be pretty good with my New Year´s Resolutions ;)
The first day of the new year we had
free because in Chile they pretty much do all their celebrating that day. We
had a zone activity where we played a lot of soccer and volleyball, ate these
really good brats sandwich things, and watched the Saratov Approach, it was a
pretty good day. That was the day that we just got burnt so bad so the next day
we went and bought Aloe Vera and sunscreen.
Last Saturday we went and played
soccer as usual. There is starting to be an abnormal amount of little kids who
come and play with us. Pretty much have a whole Primary playing with us! Later
that day we went to an investigators/members house where they made us sushi,
which I ate for one of the first times in my life. It was surprising actually
good! Kind of sketchy though, eating raw fish in Coronel.
We ended the week staying up all
night because our new neighbor who just moved in is a young guy and had his
birthday party.... It started at 11 and ended at 6:30 with them just blasting
music and yelling and laughing all night. The comps in the other room got woken
up by one of them who had been at the party and opened our window, whispering
for us to open the door because they had "something" to share with us
haha pretty funny. But that was the new year for me in Coronel. Hope that all
you back home had a fun time celebrating and that you guys have a good 2015!
