Buenos Dias!
This week was a cold rainy week! But it ended with a baptism which made it all better! :)
This
weekend Pablo got baptised! It was a great baptism and the spirit was
super strong. In the end when Pablo bore his testimony about the book of
Mormon and feeling the spirit while he read the spirit was stronger
than ever. Not only was it spiritual but also funny :) When P was
getting baptised his arm (elbow) was sticking out of the water and he
wasn't putting it down, so my companion basically pile drove him so that
he went all the way under the water. Right afterwards everyone started
laughing. But at the same time the spirit was there so it was a good mix
:)
This
week I had interchanges with my zone leaders. At the end of
Interchanges your leaders always make goals with you to help you get
better and to improve something. In the end of the interchange I
received what could possibly be the hardest goal I have had... To not
use "Po." The Chileans after lots of words or answers say "Po" like if
you asked them if they liked lunch they don't say "Si (Yes)" they say "Si
po". Anyways because I am in a sector that is pretty poor and flaite
they say "Po" all the time and I have started saying it, and I cant
stop. Supposedly as missionaries we shouldn't use po, but i cant stop
saying it. So my goal is to stop using "Po."
This
week it has rained hard all week which made the mission work hard,
cold, and wet. Because My raincoat got robbed I decided to make my own
raincoat out of trash bags. It was pretty sweet, I Cut it and sealed it
with the iron and even made a hood. I used it for a day, but then I
decided it wasn't worth it. But then I found out that my big coat is
waterproof, so we are all good :) But the storm has been so strong that
some peoples houses got blown off. We were walking down the street and
the 3rd story of someones house got blown off and it landed in the
street. Luckily we got there after it had already happened, but it has
been a crazy storm.
This
week we had English class and it was awesome and hilarious. There are
some gringos that live in our sector that can barely speak Spanish even
though they have lived here for a year. We teach them Spanish at
the same time that we teach some people English. It is great because
they can practice together and the class is fun, but the gringos are
kind of weird and have no shame so they say the funniest things and we
always die laughing.
My
comp is awesome. We laugh and make jokes in the street, in the
apartment, and we get along really well. :)
That
was my week! I have tons of pictures to send, but when I went to plug
in my camera I realized I left the cord in the apartment, so I will have
to send them all next week!
But I love you all! Stay golden!
Love,
Elder Nielson :)
