This week was a good, interesting, and different week to say the least haha :)
Monday after all of our shopping, we got our haircut :)
Tuesday
wasx a pretty good day. We did service for a lady who has cancer and
hoed the grass and weeds out of her "Yard" (Area with greass and weeds
in front of her house/appartment). We contacted a few people, one of
which was named Lali who is now an investigator.
Wednesday
was a good and bad day. In the morning my back seized up to the point
where it hurt to breathe and move. That made the day long. But after our
district meeting we got to work. (Now my back is completely fine). We
visited Lali who has a tought life but problems that the gospel will
fix. We did more work and ended the day planning the ward activity with
the Rivero Family. They are awesome and we had hilarious conversations
and I acutally felt like my normal self! (Talkative, funny,
enthusiastic). (The ward activity had to be cancelled so we aren't doing
it any more).
Thursday
was an alright day. My back was still kind of hurting and tight so the
nurse told me to put hot towel's on my back to relax it and while I was
laying with one hot towel on my back I accidentally left the other one
in the microwave to long so it got... well done. The rest of the day our
appartment smelled like smoke hah :) The rest of thursday was alright. A
super nice lady in the ward gave my companion and I some sunscreen (A
bottle for each of us) which was super kind. After that we spent alot of
time contacting and I felt kind of discouraged.
Friday
was a VERY INTERESTING day to say the least. We had interchanges and I
was with Elder Call our district leader (He is superbueno). We had a
successful early afternoon until we visited hermana margarita. We
visited her and when she opened the door her dog (Lots of people in
Chile take stray dogs off the street and have them as pets, which I am
assuming that she did) ran out of the house and bit me on the back of my
left calf!! It ran away and we left. After that we spent the rest of
the day cleaning it and visiting hospitals and clinics trying to get
rabies shots. I didn't get them but Saturday I got them. Like I said,
Interesting day, But I got to visit Valparaiso (For the hospital) so
that was pretty cool! :)
Saturday
was interesting as well haha. After studies Elder Cropper and I went
looking for a place to get my rabies shots. A member was super nice and
drove us to all of the hospital places. Finally we found a place to do
it. For those of you who know me, I HATE SHOTS! The needle was the
LONGEST, THICKEST, MOST SCARY DEATH STICK I HAVE EVER SEEN! After
getting the shot (and not crying at all :)) I found out that I have to
get 4 more shots for a total of 5 over a period of about 2 weeks! At
least it makes for a pretty good story haha :) Afterwards we taught Lali
and put a bautismal date with her!! :)
Sunday
was a hectic day. Lali couldn't attend church but her 4 grandkids did
and boy were they a handful!! Dealing with them was stressful and
difficult but they liked church :) We taught and put a baptismal date
with the oldest grandson, Diego :) At church Hermano Juan was confirmed a
member which was awesome! :) He is just the greatest guy ever. After
church we had lessons with some people and they were good :)
Like I said, it was an interesting and out of the ordinary week! I am doing great and love Chile! Stay golden,
My mission address for those looking to send me gifts ;)
The address is 1112 4 Norte, viña del mar chile :)
Love you all,
Elder Nielson
