Well this was a really good week. The only thing that is bringing me down, is the Chile game. We almost beat Brazil. So so so so so so close. I don't even want to talk about it. Everyone we watched it with were so sad. Especially this guy named Efrain. He went into the Bathroom to be alone for a couple minutes and came out after about a half hour, with his face all red. So dang close. I think if we would have gotten killed it would not be so sad. But we lost on the last penalty kick.
Bueno, así es la vida. You win some and you lose some. Its has been a great week. We are teaching a new guy named Hernan and his 8 year old daughter Joana. We have been teaching them for about 2 weeks now. He has gone to church 3 times. He really enjoys it. He is reading in the book of Mormon and also is loving it. The only problem is that he smokes. and he smokes a ton. He smokes between 40-60 cigaretts every day. Well he smoked that many. now he is on about 15-20. Thats a ton of progress for a guy who has been smoking 2 packs every day for the past 20 years. He has a ton of desire to change, and i think he will be baptized the end of this month.
Today we went on a nature walk with our friend Efrain. He is the brother of a member who we are working with. We went out to the wilderness of Chiloe and were taking pictures of swans and flamingos. It was really fun. It made me realize how much i miss learning. I really miss my zoology class. That was really fun to go out and just learn about nature.
We still need to find a house for the new meeting house. I hope we can find it soon, because that is about the only thing that is holding us back from being a branch.
Lots and lots of service projects planned for the week.
love you guys lots and lots.
