This week was Halloween. This being Chile every one got work off. And not a single soul celebrated the holiday. Just a good excuse to do nothing. We did find a family who was out trick or treating. Elder Ackerman gave them a full sized snickers. Thats one of the cool things about being in Punta Arenas, you find all of this awesome food in weird places. Punta arenas gets almost all of the food from outside of Chile, so i have gotten a nice change in my diet.
We sang in the cemetery this week for the day of the dead. All of the missionaries in Punta Arenas got together, and with the accompaniment of Elder Jepson who plays the Violin like a master, we rocked everyone socks off. it was a good activity and we got a lot of people to listen to us after ward. And the Cemetery boss bought us all empanadas.
This week we had a competition as a District on who could get the most contacts. Loser makes the brownies for the District meeting. Our district consists of The zone leaders, Elder Nielson and Elder Crockett, the Hermanas, Hermana Llanos and Hermana Estrada, and us. Its a good District. I like how we are working. The zone leaders lost the competition though... They didn't have an oven though so we are going to be eating stove top brownies.
This week i did my first baptismal interview. One of the coolest experiences. I just got to hear this guy who was just converted red hot testimony. The fun part was that i had to fill out everything on his baptismal record, even the signature at the end. He didn't have any fingers. Such a cool guy though.
We had three investigators in church. Its was awesome. We had Jovita, who is the mom of a recent convert and is waiting for her husband to get back from fishing to get married, we had Oscar, who is waiting for his wife to get a divorce finalized, and we had Veronica, who is also waiting on a divorce. So many things too get done here, but it feels good. I love my companion, he is sucha good guy. I have been really blessed with great companions. This is an awesome opportunity that i have to be in Punta Arenas again. I know there is a reason for me to be back and i am going to find it. I'm so pumped to be here on the Lords work.
Dont do stupid things. I know you dont.
Love you bunches.
Elder Boru
