Wow I can’t believe it’s been a week already! Time is flying by!!!! Anyways this week was a ton of fun and full of unique experiences hahaha here’s a few points from this week!

Monday:

• Preparation day!!!! We went over an 1hr and a half to Valparaíso to get a Calabaza de Maté for only $17 which is super cheap here!!!

• While in Valpo we saw a dude get tackled to the ground and arrested and like 50 cops showed up haha (it’s also the sketchiest part of our mission)

Some dude saved my bag from being stolen and was like put it in front of you because there are thieves just waiting to steal!

• We then just went back to the Capilla and chilled, and played Futbol

Tuesday:

• This day was quite chill, not too much craziness happened, just a normal missionary day!

Wednesday:

• This day was pretty chill as well, not too much happened! We just went to work all day!

Thursday:

• This day was super fun! It started off strong with me giving a homeless super duper skinny dog a banana and it made me feel so happy!

• We then just went out to work, it was hard not to get distracted because there was American Halloween music playing everywhere and kids were all dressed up trick or treating! 

• We also went to this guy’s house who owns a food Truck and he made us the best burgers ever! Sadly he’s leaving to Southern Chile for 4 months so it probably was my last time eating it!

• The day went pretty quick and we ended up finding 2 new guys that want to start taking the lessons so that’s sweet!

Friday:

• This day was awesome! We had a Zone Desayuno and me and my companion were bold with our zone because everyone has had no success because they just knock random doors and don’t try super hard to find people so my comp and I were like first off we need to work with members! Members are the most effect way to do missionary work here and so we need to do that and be diligent and work hard! After we said that the whole zone got hyped and we went to work!

After we went and found a bunch of new people through members and had a ton of success!

• Later in the day my companion breathed in a lot of pollen and he couldn’t breathe, his throat felt like it was closing up so we called Hermana Trythall and they’re like try and take an antihistamine, so luckily he had one and he took it and it started to stop which was a huge blessing!

• Anyways after that we just worked for a couple more hours and then went back to the pension!

Saturday:

• So this day was awesome! My comp told me in the morning during my study “I DID IT” I was like what are you talking about and he’s like “I FINALLY DID IT!!!” And I was so confused, he then said “I FOUND THE CALABAZAS” So to give you background there Are these Calabazas de Maté or pumpkin or gourd of Maté so basically it’s the original Maté cups and they’re normally like $80-90 here in Chile because they’re hard to find, well long story short my companion found this guy that sells the Imperial Calabazas which are decorated with leather and fine meal for $50 which are crazy cheap for them! Anyways we ended up getting them and they are shipped in 2-3 days which is super 

hype!!!

• We then went and fed some tunnel spiders some earwigs and went to work the rest of the day!

Sunday:

• This day was super fun and eventful! It’s started at 12am with a 5.0 earthquake which was fun, me or my comp didn’t wake up but supposedly people woke of and it was shaking them haha

• We then went out to work and I had a Maté in 1 hand and a granola bar in the other and those 2 combos gave me energy and joy hahahahahahah but anyways we went to work and ended the day finding a super duper cool river in our Sector that has a lot of fish so we may go fishing in it which is fun!

• Anyways that was basically my day!

So these were just a few points from this Week! It was a huge blast and I’m excited for next week and to see all the amazing miracles that God will bring! Just know God always has you and he will ALWAYS take care of you! I love yall and can’t wait to talk next week!!! Nos Vemos!!! ♥️🧉
