Hey Yall,
Well, I am surprisingly happy. Not that I shouldn't be, it's just surprising how much happiness there is. Not to mention it only gets better. :) Attached are the pictures from last week's adventure to Chiflon del Diablo. Elder Wood is the one in the picture with me. He's a newbie from Canada, about a month fresh from the MTC. He's cool. As for this week, there's not much to tell, but it´s pretty cool what did happen. :) Elder May and I are pretty excited.
First of all, Elder Rossi. Last week I mentioned he had problem with his Molar in the back of his mouth. This week his face looked like a plum. We all thought it was pretty funny. He and I went to Concepcion twice this week for Doctor's appointments. Here's what happened: apparently he had a cap on one of his molars that was pinching the nerve under the tooth. That's why the moler was hurting in the first place. Afterwards, they took out the nerve and he got an infection, so that's why his face swelled up like a balloon. Today he went to Concepcion with Elder May while he's doing other things, and hopefully it will be his last visit for awhile, seeing as the swelling has gone down and he's feeling better. :)
I spoke in church yesterday. It was kind of funny, really. I haven't spoken in church since my first sector in the city of Temuco and back then it really scared me. Yesterday, it was as if the missionaries talk all the time. Elder Gonzalez talked about a dream an apostle had in which there was a room full of drawers labeled "sins" and "good works" and so on. It was my turn after and it felt ok to be up in front of 90 Chileans who don't know anything about English. It was a great experience. However, Elder Gonzalez left Elder Rossi and I hardly any time to speak, but that's ok. He spoke about half an hour and the two of us put together filled in the other 15 minutes or so. It was nice. :)
Royer, Hermana Iyelda's husband, is progressing very fast. Faster than we were expecting This week we're planning on talking about plans for his baptism. I really loved it yesterday in Sunday School when he offered the closing prayer and gave thanks for all the things he's learning. He said it for himself. He is learning a lot and he wants to change. It's a great thing to see in the mission. :) In life, actually. It will be amazing when he goes to the temple with all of his family. I hope I'm still here when he does. :)
That's about it for this week. Hope all is well up there in the northern hemisphere. We heard something about lots of snow in the south, but here in Coronel it is really nice this week. It will probably rain on Wednesday or Thursday, but we like the rain. :) Keep reading the book of Mormon every day! Study it! Learn it By Heart!
