Well This week was really weird.  It has been awesome, and tiring.  I don't know if you can see on Google maps but our sector is divided into two regions,  Ovejeria alto and Ovejeria Bajo.  We live in Alto,  But we always are working in bajo.  And their are some serious hills connecting the two areas.  We live right next to the biggest hill and we walk up and down it everyday at least 6 times.  I have legs of steel now.  Still no endurance though.  Thanks to the Pedometer I know that we walked a total of 40.7 Miles this week.  Impressive, right?  Yeah lots of walking.  I have started judging the days success on the amount of miles we walked.  The fewer the better.

Well  I think Ovejeria is going to see a baptism soon.  I don't know if i will get to see it but i know i it will happen.  We have an investigator named Silvina who has been progressing like crazy.  She has a son who has been really sick the past few weeks and we have been visiting her about four times a week.  But the son is finally starting to get better so i think she will finally be able to come to church.  I really hope so.  She is the first real investigator i think i have had.  "Real" being that she really is searching for some kind of religion/change in her life.   

This week as a zone we went to every sector in Osorno and sang Christmas songs to investigators.  We had a ton of cars that would take us from place to place and then we would get out sing and then move on to the next sector.  When it was our sectors turn we went to Silvina´s house and i think the other missionaries were a little scarred of her.  She has lots of tattoos.  And a huge burn that covers most of her body.  A tea kettle spilled on her when she was a kid.  But I think she really liked us coming to her house to sing.  

Well that's about it.  Well not really,  We did do a lot of stuff this week but those are basically the highlights.  I love all of you guys a ton.  Cant wait to talk to you at 10am MDT on Christmas.  Going to be amazing.  Let me know if anything changes.  

Love,

Good

Hi.  Hows every one doing? I loved hearing from all of you this week.  I can not believe how fast the time is going by.  I have almost been gone for 5 months.  That's really weird to think about.  But i think the reason time is going by so quick is that i am in a constant state of semi sleep.  I am exhausted.  We have been working like crazy people this whole week.  Every week we are teaching more and more.  We are finding new people to teach every week as well.

This letter might be a little short because my body is broken.  We played American Football as a zone and i dove for several passes.  Dumb.  I am going to hurt for the whole week.  Oh well.  It was fun.  We lost to the APs team.  

Thanks so much for the package the other week.  I forgot to tell you last week but it was the best. I loved the yo-yo´s.  its like you know me.  I am going to send Madison the calender on Monday. I might have drawn a little on it... but its basically intact.  just some Christmas countdown that i made.  

Well we need to start coordinating for the Christmas call.  We get to call with SKYPE!  so i need to know what time, either on Christmas or Christmas eve, would you like to chat.  I would like to talk with Madi for a little if that's possible. maybe just overlap the times or something.  I need to know your Skype account as well.  I still need to make mine.  

I think that is about it.  We have done a ton of other stuff but i think that about covers all of it.  Keep reading elder warrens blog. He can write a ton more in his letters because he is a machine at typing. 

Love,
