Hello Family ¡!!
I have just know received your first letter from dear elder! That is how long
it takes to send stuff just to let you know. I still have not received any
letters if you have sent any but that is ok as long as i am getting these
emails! I don't have a ton of pictures this time because we only can take
pictures on our pday and we didn't have anything to do. I finally got
the opportunity to play a sport since the whole time I have been here! We played
soccer for like an hour. Lol we have been so busy its crazy but i am doing so
good. I am so proud of you Dallen and Brittany with your sports. I wish i could
be there to watch!
But I know you are doing great. It makes me so happy to hear that. Updates…. I like the food here actually lol not bad at all not to many things i have not enjoyed. Our mamitas food is not good at all so its hard for us cause we only have 2 meals a day breakfast and lunch and she feeds us lunch so we are making sure she takes longer time to prepare our meals lol! Spanish is still very hard but i do not let it get to me. My company said i am far ahead of all the missionaries who just start out speaking Spanish. But it is still very very difficult for me to understand anything lol. I gave my first talk for 5 minutes in Spanish which was hard during sacrament meeting lol. We had another baptism last Saturday which was a great experience for me. The members again did the baptism for us. Me and my companion are getting along great. My companion during his meeting with our President Urra he said that President Urra said to him that I am going to be the most famous missionary in Chile. That made me feel good. I work out a little every morning but after 2 years its going to be tough to stay lean lol but I'll try. The members always feed us bread and soda lol not a good combo to eat every second of everyday lol but i enjoy it. It is still so very hot here. No houses here have air conditioning so you can imagine how hot it is everywhere you go. We are suppose to put on sunblock every 2 hours because the sun is that hot and causes cancer very easily lol. To describe some of the photos, I was teaching at this families house and all of a sudden this kid makes this weird face at me, I looked at him and was like you know my little brother always does that exact same face to me lol so I met with him today just to take that picture I attempted to do the same face also lol not much success though lol.
The one when we were in our bball shorts and ties was a gift for a member in the Ward long story lol but I thought you would think it is funny.
I have been able to see Elder Hill so far during my mission that's about all I
have seen. There is 4 people in our house the other companions are really nice. You would not even believe how much different it is here lol.
About 100 times poorer than California. All the houses are really dirty and small but the members are really nice. Yesterday was the hardest day we have had so far lol. We contacted over 150 houses and not one of them let us in lol. We talked to 65 of them and they all gave the same excuse lol but we are trying our hardest. There is no wáter anywhere here. No drinking fountains even in the churches! So you get thirsty easily and never have wáter. One more time you need to call me on Christmas day at 5 o clock here, I have no idea what time it is at our house I think a 3 hour difference but find out some how. I will be calling you on the 24 for 5 minutes to give you the number, plan and me calling
the same time. If there is a better time you would like me to call let me know and I will tell my companion ok. Funny stories, we were having some pretty rough
days. I am doing everything i can to learn the language and to make every happy. I always talk about how happy Daddy is all the time. When ever I see someone cry I just tell them smile my daddy would not allow that lol, but anyways lol I prayed for inspiration on how I can find more people to teach and learn the language quicker and I went to bed. The only thing I can remember from that dream is beating daddy at arm wrestling lol ¡!! I knew that dream was too good to be true and I told my companion I thought it was hilarious. I have only seen 1 person here that knows a Little English lol. So many little punk kids always yell cuss words at us in English and I just look at them like Do you even know what your saying lol. I have a pretty embarrassing tan line from my collar of my shirt lol. When I wore my regular shirt for a bit today i was embarrassed fromit lol. But yeah still have not seen a whole lot of people with all their teeth lol. People always breast feed in public it is so disgusting. Even during our
lessons they do it lol. So many people try to kiss us on the cheek and we have
to like Dodge it its crazy lol. I dont know how to say I cant do that in Spanish
lol its great. Tell chuch rhino and kris flax i said hi. I have not gotten a
letter from them in a while. I miss them too. I have never been more tempted to
swim in my life since i have been here lol, the day i come back we are going
swimming first thing lol. We have another baptism this weekend I am hoping we
have been teaching this person for a while now and they have to go to
church 3 times before they can get baptized so we try to get them to come but its hard sometimes. Its really hard to serve here but I make sure I keep a smile and enjoy every second of it. I love you all so very much i cant even explain it. I
keep pictures of all of you in my scriptures so I can see them everyday. Thanks
for everything and all of the great examples you have been to me. I can honestly
say that I have been blessed with the best family in the whole entire world and
you know it too. I always brag to everyone about you and how close we are. If
you need anything from me let me know. I will make sure it is done. I hope you
get your package in a decent amount of time. They tried charging me 38 dollars
for it you will laugh when you see how light it is. I looked at them like they
were crazy and so i did it for 15 dollars to get to you in 3 weeks. But keep on
smiling and having a good day. Make sure you do family home evening every Wednesday. It is a commandment lol and it really strengthens the family. I love you all so very much you have no idea.
Love your missionary
