How is life going back there in the States? Things are going really well here. I am really excited to be with my current companion, Elder Navarro. He is really great. He is really nice, a bit timid, but really hard working. It has made it really easy to work really hard here in our sector Villa Magisterio. These days I am just really happy, which is great.
This past week, we were able to find some good new people to be able to teach. They are really friendly and really interested in trying to learn more and draw nearer to God. It should be really good to be able to work hard with them to be able to receive answers to their prayers and be able to feel the help of God more fully in their lives.
We have one investigator named Andrea who is really great. She knows that everything is true and has even been able to stop smoking... she hasn't smoked in almost 2.5 weeks. The only thing that she needs now is to be able to get to church. That is her major struggle. She has been struggling with cancer as well which as I can imagine only makes things harder. Hopefully we will be able to make the final steps that she needs to be able make to get ready for the baptism which she is so much looking forward to.
Oh a final thing that was pretty neat. We had a big activity with a lot of missionaries today in my old church building. But anyway, one of my best friends on the mission is now companions with Elder A. So today I met Elder A. He is a really nice guy. He is actually really humble and pretty timid. Oh and pretty short. It was nice to be able to talk to him for a while. It is neat because he is just a normal elder, really nice, but normal. It's actually probably a bit harder for him than the average missionary because you probably get a lot of people who just act weird around him, not knowing if they should introduce themselves or not. It's neat that he's here just to try to be a normal missionary. So I guess now I have now met a famous person, and even hugged one (because that's just how Chileans greet people). Not really all that amazing but it was cool anyway.
Well I think that sums up my week. I hope all is going well back home and I'll talk to you later!
