2/1/2010- "McDonalds was amazing!"

Hello! its been a great week. I have not been taking a lot of pictures because im scared to take my camera around, it really is not the safest area to do it. but i will find a balance. but yea i have to use elder canaans card reader to send the pictures. so if you could send me a sd usb card reader, that would be awesome, i did not get the package yet, i will have to wait till next zone conference to get it. but i did get some letters from some friends, we had an awesome zone conference. learned cool stuff, got a great welcome, we each got a whole pizza to ourselves, it was a great time. according to what i read about dad finding our location sounds right, there is a huge field north of our house. we do have a fridge in our house, and the barrel thing is mainly for our garments, its interesting but it works well. we just hang up the clothes to dry. we went to san bernardo today and sent some mail, it was nice to see a different side of santiago, it was a lot more alive and had some cool sights. also we went to the mcdonalds, it was absolutely amazing, haha. i will never forget it.

we wont change companions at least till the next two changes i think. we have one person committed to baptism, a family that is close, and some other people who are really close. its been awesome, we have been teaching a lot. weve been getting behind on contacts because we are constantly teaching. we had 12 investigators in sacrament meeting this past sunday, it was incredible. i also gave my first talk also, on Faith, it went really well. it is getting crazy hot here, i am actually baking in the sun as i type this. i am getting a lot more comfortable here, spanish is still coming well. im not too worried about it. we are working hard and i am learning so much about teaching, people, life. it is a lot different then i thought it would be out here. it always good to hear everyone is doing well.

i will let you know more about our investigators next week, we should be putting a lot more dates this week. stay well, and do all you can to keep the family strong. That is the biggest thing i have seen down here. We need to constantly strive to do all we can to build up eachother in the family, there are a lot of things that distract us from doing so. i love you all. have a good week.
