Changes, all these crazy changes...

Hello, all!

Unfortunately, I have 5 minutes. Today was transfers, so we have less time than normal. I´ll catch up and add more next week. Sorry for those letters and emails that I still haven´t caught up on from last week.. I´ll have a little more done next week.

In Summary:

Lorena was baptized yesterday (Sunday) and it was AMAZING. It is my first baptism, and she asked me to baptize her. WHAT A BLESSING. We (the Elders) sang a special number for her as well. I am looking forward to next week´s confirmation. More next week.

Working with a number of other families, all amazing. More next week.

Survived transfers, but we have a new elder in the house who is Zone Leader 2, and Elder King got moved to become the Asistante 1 al Presidente. Sad, but we´re glad for him.

Other news, we got the ex-minister of Chile to attend part of church with us. I didn´t know that he was the ex-minister until all of the ward members started bugging me about it. More next week.

Here is the translation (fortunately I had most of it done last week, so I only need to add one more sentence).

NM: Hello, How are you?
Chilean: Well, and you? (informal, but understood)
NM: Very well, thank you. We are missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Have you seen us before?
Chilean: Yes, but I like have my religion and like don´t need more. Savvy? (English equivalent, spanish spread out is: "ya, pero tengo mi religion po y no necesita mas po. Cachai?)
Chilean: Oh, you (variation on ancient spanish) are (Chilean tu, sounds like "soy" which is "I am") really white and dumb. I´m going to, like, be more slow for you. I have, like, seen the missionaries before but I, like, already have my religion and, like, don´t need more, especially, like, your saint John Smidt. You´re like, CRAZY! (also the english equivalent, spanish spread out is: "He visto los misioneros po pero ya tengo mi religion po y no necesita mas po, especialmente su santo Jon Smit po. ¡Tu estai loco po!)

Wow, I´m sorry this letter is tiny. I´ll catch up more next week. Please realize that I only have an hour and a half to write the President, report my numbers, write whatever hard letters I have to, read your emails, and reply. I am trying to do better, today is unusual por culpa de Cambios.

Mucho amor, ¡Vaya bien!

A Dios, Con Dios,

Elder Wheelhouse
