My new companion Elder RojasHey everyone! How are things going up there? Things are going well down here. Last Monday night I caught the 1:00am bus to Viña and waited there from 5:30 until 8:00 in the bus station. I got to Villa Alemana around 11:30 or so after waiting around in the office for a couple hours for other missionaries to arrive. The ward is really cool and big. There are well over 100 that go to church. We live on the same property as a couple member families. They have 4 dogs that are always happy to greet us. Elder Rojas is my new companion. We are getting along good. We should be having a couple baptisms next weekend. The weather is starting to show autumn here. This past week wasn’t very hot at all. So something funny that happened; last night, the power went out in all of Chile! We were having a meeting at that time, around 9:00pm and the lights flickered for a few seconds, and then black. We went outside and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The sky was absolutely full of stars. There is like a big splash of stars that basically splits the sky in two as if someone were to take a paintbrush and make a big stroke through the middle of the paper. It was really cool. Well my time is about up so better wrap this up. Take care everyone! Chao -Elder Nelson
