A sunny day in Viña del Mar
Another beautiful coastal view of Viña.
Elder Palmer and the dirty dog encounter
My new companion Elder Watkins.
Me in Viña. It's turning fall now and cooling off so we're wearing long sleeves now.
Another view of the hills we climb everyday in Viña. hey everyone.
things are going good for me here in Viña. the weather for sure is changing. there has been some light rain this week but will for sure only get worse. we have been wearing long sleeves during the day and our suit jackets at night. this week we were able to get into 13 houses. that is quite a bit. one of the houses we got into was pretty funny. the guy was old and couldnt really hear so we had to like shout everything. the prayer was kinda funny as I was not used to shouting one. turns out this guy was like a bigwig factory owner back in his day and made bank. he had his slacks and sweater on to just chill in his house and had this funny fur hat thing on. he was pretty cool and invited us back for tomorrow. my easter was like another day in the mission. i will say something though....i absolutely hate holy week in the catholic religion. we got that like all week as an excuse for everything...it is good that it is all over with now though...we can get back to working without the excuses from everyone. yesterday, the family we were going to eat with had company with them so gave us lunch to take to our pension to eat...so that was our easter.
things with the new comp are going good. we work good together. with the whole district leader stuff, i went and did interchanges with elder palmer in the sector of chorillos. you met his parents at the rest stop going home from the mtc. it was a fun day although he got mud splatted on him by a dog too...i have a pic i´ll send. i did get my package this past week and must say i love it! thank you so much for it and everything!
