ten months later.... My MTC Group all together again in Viña(I'm on the front row far left)
hey everyone how are things going? my week went well even though the cold got pretty bad for me. i am used to the nice warm weather but it just isnt that anymore. So i experienced my first rain in chile yesterday as it rained basically all saturday night and all through church and lunch. it kept a lot of people from coming to church sadly.
Today we had a zone conference in Viña. This one was a little different. There were 9 zones there! All of the south! usually they do two different conferences in the south and one in the north. it was really cool with so many missionaries. the photo above took awhile to coordinate. i have now finally seen all of the missionaries from my mtc district. i saw the last two today (elders stratford and crouch). The conference was really good. It was about having effective study and how it will help us not only in the mission work but in our lives afterwards. we also saw some pictures of our new mission president and his wife, President Gillespie. he is a dentist from vancouver washington. Well we have a special mission conference again in viña wednesday. we are going to be having a special guest coming to visit us. well so that you dont die of guessing i guess i will tell you who is coming to talk with us on wednesday...we get to take a apic with him and meet him too... Elder Dallin H. Oaks !!!!!!!! crazy! more to know from this next week ;) well i had a good week and all is well. we are just working hard this week to finish off the week strong as well as leaving the sector in good shape for the next change.
take care, Elder Nelson
