Well hey there Yall!
That phrase is actually pretty appropriate considering my new companion. His name is Elder Thomas and he is a Texan through and through (despite the fact that he was born in Orem). He´s lived in Texas forever and he has the slightest accent that I think I might be picking up by talking with him. He´s in his second to last cambio, which means he goes home in February, along with Elder Brann, my last companion. So, that makes Elder May the youngest companion I´ve had in the mission, having 15 months when we were together in Coronel. Elder Thomas is going to make a Texan out of me while we´re together. We´ll see if we stay together until February when he goes home. (Don´t worry, he won´t really make a Texan out of me...I could never be Texan. I´m a Utahn at heart).
Happy Thanksgiving! I didn´t realize until the day of Thanksgiving that it is a North American holiday. Nobody mentioned anything the day of, but all the gringos talked about it the day after. I actually forgot about it. Silly me...best holiday of the year and I forgot...However, I thought it was rather appropriate what we ate that night. We went over to a member´s house because she said she had a friend that was interested in received the discussions about the Gospel. Her friend never showed up, but we shared some bread with Butter around the Sister´s table. It was a nice humble Thanksgiving Dinner that I was very grateful for.
Now, I said we´re back in the Country, but this is a country very different from the country in Santa Barbara, where I was before. From just about anywhere in the town of Curacautin, you can see 2 volcanoes. If you go up the hills (There are a lot of hills), you can see a third. Can you say beautiful and exciting?! I like it a lot. :)
There´s another new thing here in Curacautin, which has to do with other missionaries. I´ve worked in a ward with 2 missionaries, a branch with 2, a branch with 4, and now another Branch with 4. Only difference? There´s a sister missionary. Yes, only one. Ha ha, here in Curacautin we work along side the Haroldsons, a married missionary couple. They live here in Curacautin (They´re from Idaho Falls) and Elder Haroldson is the Branch President of a branch that has about 20 active members. This is their second mission to Chile and they are really nice. :)
So, we´re having a good time here in Curacautin with a population of 16000 and a goal to meet all of them before I leave here. :) Keep reading your scriptures daily!
