My new companion! and a great week!

That first cambio went by quick (i think transfer in english). Its hard for me to think and write this in english. My mind is solely set to español ahora(now). I can understand ever word and conversaciòn con la gente(with the people). alright i will try to write this all in english. But it is hard to traducir(translate i think in english) because i have learned this spanish by speaking it not really by translating it. So i know how to say so much in spanish but its hard to put it in english. 

Entonces, (so) i had a few intercambios(exchanges? man this is difficult) with the leader of the zone and the assistant to the president. i learned so much from them and also had to direct the sector because i know all the things for this sector. As well all the missionaries from the ccm came to my sector while i was on exchanges to see how we do things. So we had all the other missionaries come to my sector to help and go contacting with the missionaries. it was fun and we were all in the streets. Since we had C with us( a 14 year old recent convert) i walked around with him and we had fun contacting. But i feel comfortable with having to lead this sector for a little bit to help my new companion to learn the sector.

My new companion is awesome, Elder D. We are getting along great and i am excited for him to train me and to have this transfer with him. I always love learning from these great missionaries.

We have an investigator named D who is 65 or so. We taught him once and gave him a book of mormon to read, Then we didnt see him for two weeks while he was on vacation. But when he came back he read 3 nephi 11 like 7 times. He had it memorized! He asked about baptism and wants to be baptized really bad! He came to church this week and loved it, we will continue to help him for 3 weeks then he will be baptized! People are always being prepared.

Oh and i want to let you guys know that you have to be the coolest family for the missionaries. En serio(seriously). I have a awesome family in my ward that we stop by all the time whether its is only to use the bathroom or to teach or anything. But they have a son who is home from his mission and always helps us teach. So if there are sisters in the ward kelsey should teach lessons with them occasionaly, and always let the misionaries into the house. let them teach in the house if they need. i just know that missionaries love great members who can help with the missionary work. 

Thank you to my ward back home!  I got the christmas package!

thanks for being a great family! We will always have the best. And thanks for the help and prayers. I love this mission and this work. Especially the people. ¡Have a great week and have fun!

I got a spray tan! haha noo. But this HEAT!

Stray dogs everywhere!!!!!

This week has been so hot. the total opposite of you guys in ca. And boy have i gotten tan... well a nice farmers tan. I told people i got a good spray tan deal down the street. Buy two completos (hotdogs) and get a free spray tan haha. j/k SO much sun but i love it. Just getting as much color as i can. 

I am always so pumped to be out here serving so nothing will get me down. Even though this week has been tough because of only walking in the heat all day, and many people wont accept us. But i continue with no problem. My companion says it has been the hardest week for him and that it can only get better from here because it has never been so hard. 

I pray for help with my spanish, for teaching people, and to find new investigators who are prepared. Always searching and talking to everyone. I really feel great and have so much energy so that means there will never be a sad or dull moment in my mission. I always walk around with a smile on my face, smile and say hi to every person in hopes to make their day. At times they ignore or dont notice but i still always do. I am so happy to be out here helping everyone i can. Like the recent converts like a couple from haiti. We teach them in there one small room where there live, eat, sleep, everything. I think in english, teach in spanish, while he reads the doctrine in french, and translates to his wife in the language they use fom haiti. The investigators we have are great and i love them! This week we are planning a baptism... and a wedding!

A wedding! i never thought i would be planning a wedding this saturday and hopefully a baptism this sunday. He is so awesome and has a great testimony. He will teach other investigators with us even though he is and investigator too. He is a dad haha, and he asked about a mission but cant since he has a kid. I love him and will definitley keep in touch with him always!

New friend and Companion Elder C

So a little bit about each day. we wake up at 7:30 for excersise and get ready from 8-9. Then study until 1 in the afternoon. go out for a bit and eat luch from 2-3ish with a member. They normally feed us first and just keep bringing food so kind. then the rest of the day is work until 10 and go home to prepare and be in bed by 11:30ish. Its a little different. But im getting used to it.

The few members in our ward members do everything for us! They wash and iron our clothes, cook for us. it is awesome. And our house doesnt have a stove or washing machine. Just a fridge and microwave. So i eat a pb and j sandwich every night i get home. I have to have peanut butter every day haha. its easy to find at a store call liders which is walmart for chile. And everything here taste fine to me. I ate the biggest meal this week! like ever! a family from peru cooked so much for us. A huge bowl of soup, the best potatoes and meat, and fruit! Enough to feed a family of vour. And i ate it all! 

Also i got so scared from a dog this week when i went to a door. side note that every house here has a front gate and you have to yell ALO! And this dog comes running at me and jumps trying to bite me. but i got away safe! Some dogs here are crazy.  

Anyways i am loving it and cant wait for next week and all this week with the wedding and baptism. Have a great week in the cold while i am hot as heck haha. love you bye.
