Master the tempest is raging Hey Y'all, It's quite impressive how different the weather is here in Talcahuano. The roof in the church literally fell apart on Saturday, shortly after Judy and Jorge's baptism. The floor in the chapel was soaked on one side on Sunday, not that we needed more space. Only about 60 people came to church because of the gigantic storm we had that basically killed Talcahuano. ;) The most impressive stat about this weekend: Winds up to 120 Km/h (72 mph). Pretty impressive, huh? We lost power and we visited several houses that the power was also cut. Fun times. We didn't accomplish a whole lot in finding people to teach, but we definitely had a good time with those people in our sector. :) I had the privilege to confirm Judy on Sunday, despite all of the tempests outside that almost killed us on Saturday. Oh, did I forget to mention the tin roof that almost sliced our heads off? Fun times. :) Don't worry, nobody was hurt by an

Rain, Drunks and kisses...Enough Said

Hey Y'all, It´s a rainstorm here in Chile! We´re getting soaked just about every day and it´s a great time. :) We´re entering winter here and Elder Pantoja, my companion, is basically dying because of how cold it is. Haha, but we have a good time while he´s bundled up in front of the stove. While walking down the road the other night, we found a man who was baptized by the elders about 5 months ago. But he has returned to his drinking habits and we´re trying to help him come back to church. But he is very touchy...very touchy...His name is Jorge. He lives with his mom. It´s great. :) I hope you´re all reading the scriptures daily. You have goal. Read the Bible. Entirely. :) Go for it!´´

No email this week?

To all, There was no email from Dale today, which usually means a zone conference ate up P-day and we will get a very short note tomorrow. Here is some news from the phone call last Sunday. Dale will come home Oct 23rd or Dec 4th, depending on whether they honor his request to stay an extra transfer. If any of you cougars know what I need to do to get him registered for next January, let me know. Dale is now in Talcahuano, the only city in the Concepcion South Mission that is actually north of Concepcion. Once again, he lucked into a coastal town for their winter, which means he won't experience winter in the Andes. Dale is looking great, and while we miss him, we are excited that he is excited and wants to stay an extra month. Thanks to all who have kept up with Dale. I'll post his note tomorrow if we hear from him. Dad Lundstrom
Dale has transferred to Talcahuano. He only wrote quickly this week because we talked to him yesterday, but he did send a photo of Romeo, his companion, and himself. Guess which one is which!
No message this week, but here are a few lines from Dale's message to me (Ron) this week: "We´re all going to live forever, but we want to live forever with God. We can do that by living the gospel with our families. The temporal things in this life(Projects at work, money, wealth) are of very little importance because what matters most is that we learn more everyday. I´m changing sectors this week, so we´ll see what happens. I´ll be sure to let you know what´s up. :)"
