Parrots in Monte Patria
Map of mission
Hey everyone how are things going? Things have been great for me this past week. The main thing that has happened is that our investigator, Eduardo, is progressing really well. This week we have basically finished all of the teaching that he needs. One cool experience that I had was when we taught him the law of Tithing. He doesnt have a great financial situation at all but we really were preparing the morning of the lesson on how we could teach this principal well. We focused on the blessings that we get from paying our tithing and why we cant afford not to do it. He understood it really well and accepted the commitment to pay his tithing after getting baptized. He is scheduled to get baptized on the 27th of February :) On Friday, I finished my "Tour de Ovalle" as I went out to Monte Patria to work with Elder Tensmeyer. I have now stayed the night and worked in every sector here in the zone of Ovalle. Out there, it was way hot! For sure in the high 90's with little wind. It felt like my legs were melting. One cool thing about Monte Patria though is that there are tons of parrots at night. I guess it would be kind of annoying to have to hear them all night long but for one night it was kind of cool. During the day they take off to all the vineyards to eat and stuff but in the night, come into town because they like the lights. It was fun to be with Elder Tensmeyer again. He has progressed a lot and is now in his 5th change! Today he had emergency changes as his comp left to La Serena This weekend we have a conference in La Serena. It should be good. Well hope all of you have a great week. ChaoElder Nelson
