Well transfers
happened. I took a two hour bus ride on wed. and it was awful. I hate
bus rides. The scenery was amazing but i couldn't look out the window
because i was on the verge of throwing up the whole time... I made it
though. I did throw up a little. But Dad, we need to make the
motorcycle trip happen. The road was epic.
I got into the bus station at around 12 and then we
went to the apartment. Its nice. a little dirty, but it does have a Christmas tree. The one big problem is that there is no hot water.
Showers are the worst. I try to shower in about 2 min. We don't do our laundry in a bucket. The members take turns washing
them for us. We do have a mamita. She is really nice. We go to her
house and pick up the food, because her husband is a truck driver, and
is hardly ever home.
My companion is awesome. He is from American Fork.
Really nice guy, really hard worker. Like El Estanque this sector has
been "dead" for the past couple of months, but we are definitely going
to change that.
Well i am in Osorno. Every one says Osorno is super
ugly but really its not too bad. I like it a lot. I am loving the new
ward. Still haven't met everyone but they all seem really nice. The
past few days have been a blur. completely forgot about Thanksgiving,
we celebrated last night though with a pizza. We have been working like
crazy people. Contacting every one we see. I am starting to learn
how to contact. It's sad but me and elder Randall hardly ever did street
contacts. Now that is all we have been doing. People are a lot more
receptive here. It is really nice.
Something that I am trying out this week is giving
treats to dogs. When we are doing contacts sometimes there are dogs
barking at us, and it is distracting, so i thought it would be a good idea to throw them something to eat to keep them quiet. We´ll see how it
works.
Well i got to go. I love you guys.
Love,
Elder Steamer Borup
