It was a good week on Friday we took an 1 hour 45 min bus ride out to Licanten towards the beach.  There are two elders out there so we had the whole zone go and do contacts throughout the city to help them out it was pretty cool.  12 of us ate in this little restaurant.  I shared this big plate of French fries, sausage, onions and an egg all mix into one with another elder.  I should have taken photos my bad.  But I got some of the country side.   

We found this family that lives in New York for a couple years so they speak English so I’m pretty excited to start teaching them.  They own this Negotio way down the street.  Negotio are little stores that people have connected to their house.  They sell like vegetable and bread and a bunch of candy and soda and other stuff and they have these little slots machines in them that everyone plays.

Yesterday we were having a lesson with this less active family.  They got into a bad car crash and got hurt pretty bad so they are having a tough time with things.  So I shared my story I had with my neck and bore my testimony it was pretty special.  God really does put you where he needs you and where people need help.  The spirit was really strong and we shared a scripture about faith too.

But everything else is going good today.  Today at 2:30 I’m traveling to Concepcion.  It’s a 5 hour bus ride.  They have nice charter buses here.  All of the fairly new missionaries go there for a couple days of training so we stay at some members house I guess and hang out in the mission home.  I hear that President Humphrey and Sister Humphrey spoil us so it will be good.
