Summer Vacations

HOLA! 

 

So this week was a pretty crazy week.  As you know, I got new companions last Monday.  Elder Marín is from here in Chile.  He is from Viña del Mar, which is about an hour and a half from here in Santiago.  He is the oldest of 3 kids.  He has a brother that is 17 and a sister that is 15.  He has about a year in the mission, and he originally was going to go to Venezuela, but he never got his visa so he decided to change his mission and just stay here in Chile.

Elder Hall is from Lehi.  He is also the oldest of 3, with a brother of 17 and a sister of 15.  It's really easy to remember about their families because they are the same.

This week was a really crazy week.  So here in Chile it's summer, and everyone is going on vacations.  But here in Santiago when people go on vacations, it's not for a week or two, it's for a month or two! So pretty much most of the people that we were teaching went on vacations, and now we are trying to find the people that are going to still be here.  There are some possibilities for baptisms in the upcoming weeks, but it all depends on if we can find the people or not.

We had several days this week where all we did was contact people in the street or we knocked on their doors, and so far we have had little luck, but we know that we have to keep working, and the Lord is going to bless us.  

Other than that things are going well, I have more and more meetings to organize and go to now, so that's pretty fun, but things are great here.  I had to fill out some forms for BYU.  That was weird!  But I/we just have to keep working hard!

I love you all! Miss you tons!  Have a great week!
