CCM and Chile!

¡Halo!

Ok, before I go any farther, I have the address for the Mision Home, it is as follows:

Elder Wheelhouse
Santiago Chile North Mission
Sucursal Correo Patronato
Casilla 60
Santiago Chile

I don´t know the address for pouch mail, but the Elders here say that the regular mail is faster and more convenient because you can use multiple pages, whereas in the pouch you can only use one. Just make sure to use Jesus Stickers if you plan on sending anything other than letters, or a particularly thick envelope.

Also, I am soooooooooooooo sorry that I could not get to all of you in phone calls, we ended up having a traveling group of 41 and only 12 payphones in the airport to use in an hour and 45 minutes.

And, tres, we ended up not having time last week to write our weekly letters. ¡Lo siento con todo mi corazon!

At any rate, Chile! ¡Guau! What a thrill! Exiting the airport, other than the international-only processes, was like stepping out into a Utah morning, with the Andes allá and the city allá, fue like coming home. The east side of the City especially is even nicer than some of the nice places in Salt Lake, and the Mission home is BEAUTIFUL! After some rest, an interview, and orientation I met my Companion, Elder Dearden from Boston, who is also one of the Zone Leaders for San Pablo, our zone. I discovered that we had been assigned to open a new sector, called Lo Prado. It is interesting because I technically don´t have a district, only a sector. one of my good friends from the MTC, Elder Binks, is also in the same apartment as us with the other Zone Leader, Elder King. As we started working, it quickly became clear how much work we have ahead of us. Miraculously, the gift of tongues kicked in and I have been able to understand a lot of what has been going on, and even speak and teach some.

I need to go, but I´ll continue next week. I´ll write some about the fun things we have here. Suffice it to say, I feel safer here than in Puerto Rico, so you don´t have to worry. :P

Write Back!

A Dios, Con Dios.
