Crazy Week

Date: May 13, 2013
Area: Santiago, Chile
Companion: Elder Berrios

Hey Fam,

So sorry that I didn´t really get to write today. I am going to be really short in the letter.

But it was great to see you all yesterday and to be able to talk to all of you. I didn´t want to skype at first because I thought... I¨m just going to see them in like a month and if I don´t see them on skype then it will be more of a surprise when I walk off the plane but then I saw lindy and she was getting upset so that plan went right out the window! haha. But it was awesome to see you all, it was wonderful talking to you.

Today has been really busy. In the morning we slept in a little bit because last night we got to bed at about 1 oclock because we were doing the numbers and things but then we came in to the office in the morning to write our ¨Leadership¨ letter and send it off to all the leaders in the mission. Then we ran out to the store to buy, ran home, I got my hair cut and then we headed out to the campo a colina to hike a mountain with the Elder that wants to help fundraise with me (Elder Metcalf) and some other elders from his same ward. It was really fun! We went all the way up and we thought that half of the mountain was private because it was all fenced off and we couldn´t get in so we didn´t make it to the top top but it was still sweet. But after going up we were on the way down and all of a sudden we hear a gun shot and this guy comes out of his house with his two dogs and a huge shotgun in his hands! He was like ´´Why are you up here, you are trespassing¨ Long story short, he didn´t blow any holes in us and we got away safe but it was just a great climax to an awesome hike.

After that we rushed home, showered skarfed down some food and then we had to run out to the airport to pick up the Waldrons (a senior couple from the mission) and their sister and brother in law. They went to Easter island for a couple of days for vacation.

Then after that we had to run out to the hospital to see Elder Deming. He had to have surgery today on his leg, he had some sort of nasty infection that they had to drain so we took some books a cell phone charger and some money for them to buy some food. He is doing a lot better now though, he should get out tomorrow.

And now it is almost 1130 and we are back here in the office. Tomorrow we have to prepare our lesson that we are going to teach on thursday to all the leaders in the mission and then in the afternoon we are going to go over it all with Presidente Essig in his house. It should be a busy day. This whole week is going to be busy and then next week too because there are zone training conferences for two days and then the interviews start so we will be booked for about 12 days straight....it should be fun. But I count it as a blessing to be busy here in the office, its better to be too busy than not busy enough in my book.

I have to go but I love you all, have a wonderful week! love,

Jar
