Hello everyone!
so this week has been a busy one. both me and my companion were sick for a few days. We didn't let it get us down and still were able to get out.This morning i began the paperwork for my carnet. That is my identification card for chile. it is kind of a long process and the offices that do it are very slow. We are still working with nicole. she is sceduled to get baptized the 28th. she is excited and cant wait. right now we are busy looking for people to teach. we are doing a lot of contacting. this week we were contacting a guys house and he came to the door hobbling. he said that he cant really stand and talk to us so i just flat out asked if we could come in to talk to him. he said sure. we have an appointment to go back this week. he will be home for the next 3 months straight because he broke his leg and cant work. he seems really good and is open to us. when we came in his house he said how nice it was to see two young people with short hair and a clean shaven face. i guess the appearence thing is important afterall...but of course, the mullet has taken over chile so when someone doesnt have it it is a nice change too. ;) So i completed 7 months this week. wow. time is flying. i am over halfway done with this change too which is weird to think. well know that i am doin fine and lovin it down here.
take care everyone and talk to y'all next week chao elder nelson
