How´s
the family doing?!? sounds like Spencer had a great performance! hey,
get better, Luke. And I´m thinking that Hayden is so stressed and busy
that he doesn`t read these anyway hahaha
This
week was interesting. we had 4 people in the pension Monday night thru
Friday evening. Elder Enamorado had to do a class here in Republica on
Tuesday and Wednesday, and then he and Elder Strong had to go to the
temple on Friday, so Elder Enamorado and Elder Harman came in from the
coast and stayed with us in our already small apartment. fun stuff.
One day, Elder Harman and I went to go contact a reference we got from
the office. Her name is Jenifer, and she´s really cool. We had a
wonderful conversation in the lobby of her apartment building and she`s
really really interested in hearing more. She said, and I quote, "I
know that I want to get to God, but I just see all the different ways
people say you can and can`t do it, and I just don`t know which one I
should take. Basically, I know I want to get to God, I just don`t know
how to get there. I´m looking for a guide." We have a return
appointment with her this week.
It´s been a
really weird past few days. Elder Zachary Cummings was a missionary
that served here and went home 2-3 months after I got to Chile. He was
the mission secretary, Zone Leader in Republica, served in San Miguel,
and a few other places. After he left the office, he went to Republica,
and Elder Strong was one of his comps in Republica (a year and a half
ago), the first time Elder Strong was in Republica. Basically, it looks
like Elder Cummings and I had very similar missions. Well, his wife
gave him a surprise 1 year anniversary present: Trip to Chile/South
America! So yesterday we went around to a bunch of houses with "Brother
Cummings" and his wife--so Elder Strong could say his goodbyes and Zach
Cummings could say hi to all the same people. It was a really
interesting and fun day.
Then
today, Elder Wilcox´s parents got in to pick him up! They´ll be
visiting a bunch of people this week. So we talked about Mindy and
Eldon, Paige, Kate, Garrett, and Ryan for a bit. They had room in their
rent a car, so they took us back to my sector, which is close to their
hotel. They were thankful for an Elder who could tell them how to get
around Santiago in a car without dying. On the way, we stopped by some
member´s house in Riconada, Elder Wilcox´s first sector-- when he, too,
was with Elder Fuhriman! Small world. Surreal weekend.
Elder
Strong was a great companion. I really really enjoyed our 8 weeks
together. I definitely look forward to seeing him after the mission.
We made some great memories in the sector.
Tomorrow
I find out who my comp is. He´ll probably be my last companion in the
mission. But president did say something about possible companions....
plural.... We´ll see tomorrow.
Love you guys! thanks for ally your love and support!
