Still in Ovalle

On the way to Villa Seca
hey everyone! so this week i went on divisions with the zone leaders. i went down to their sector which is the main part of ovalle. it was a good day but pretty darn hot. so something funny that happened...last night we were teaching this one lady and her little 2 year old daughter who cant stop talking to save her life found like a small cherry or something. she showed it to me and then stuck it in her mouth. apparently it was really sour because she puckered pretty good. she pulled it out and the juice was running over her fingers. it was deep red and she started saying it was bleeding. it was pretty funny.
so a lot of people leave for the summer time for their vacations. we had 1/3 of the people go to church that normally do. i gave my first blessing to the sick in spanish yesterday. usually i just do the first part. well thats all thats really happening for me. we have found more people to teach and have one person scheduled to get baptized on feb 14th. we´ll see how it goes. well until next week, take care! love, elder nelson
