All is well here in the land of fire and ice. Its getting kind of cold already and the Volcan Calbuco and the volcan Pucon are still spitting fire. Calbuco just blew this past week and all the missionaries in Calbuco got evacuated. We have seen no ash yet and we probably wont because of the wind right now, But when it went off, you could see the mushroom cloud from here. Supposedly the ash is going to travel around the world in 25 days and that argentina is getting buried in it. HA. And we keep working as if nothing happened.
This week was fun. We had intercambios with the Assistants. It was awesome. I went out with elder Crotzer and we were walking to our sector and i felt like we needed to talk to a lady. Turns out she is way drunk. But right as we start talking to her her husband, who is sober, walks past, and she invites us to go to her house. So we go to her house and we start teaching the husband, a way cool guy named Juan. and we teach about how Christ can help this lady, Maria, to change her life if she wants. So it turned out to be really good and the husband felt the spirit and told us that he is willing to try and help his wife change again. The wife said that she just wants things to go back to the way they were before she was addicted to alcohol. Its rough to see all of these people out in the street. They dont want to be there, but they are so addicted to alcohol that they can't do anything about it.
I have been studying a lot about charity. Charity is what should fuel missionary work. We need to love these people and want the best for them. I am trying to learn from my companion, who is a really touchy feely kind of guy.
We did a lot of service this week, and we taught a lot of people. I really am loving it. I am determined to suck every ounce of good out of my last few months on the mission. Its gonna be the best!!!!
Love you guys tons
