Hey y'all,
Well, it´s been a pretty good week. We've been working hard and we can see fruits here and there. Most of the stuff that happened this week is pretty dull and monotonous, so I´ll just skip to the good parts about Chopping wood again and doing it in rain. :) Not to mention the highlight for the week...
I´M BACK IN TEMUCO! Ha ha, it's pretty exciting. The time has rolled around for me to start renewing all my governmental documents, which includes a trip to Temuco. :) That´s where we are right now, living the good life. It was actually a pretty good day because I ran into 2 different people that I met while I was here a YEAR ago! One of them was the niece of a ward member and the other was a man that was baptized while Elder Gomez and I were in Millahue working in the same ward. We chatted for a while. It was a good time. We went all around downtown trying to figure out my government documents. What usually happens is the mission secretary sends a packet with information about the closest civil register or government buildings. The packet I received had the addresses for these buildings...in a city in the north half the mission- where I was never even close to. The addresses were in a city called Angol, that is basically the only zone I have no affiliation with whatsoever. Anyway, so we had a fun morning going around looking for everything. The miracle? We got it all done before lunch.
Back to the main point, it's a great feeling to be back in Temuco, even if it is only for the day. :) We walked the streets of Centro, where I had walked several times before. And, as luck would have it, Temuco is where I took out all my government ID the first time in my mission about a year ago. :)
The other highlight for the week is having a new district leader. Our zone in Victoria was 14 missionaries and two districts of missionaries. However, the sisters were emergency transferred up north, leaving one district with 4 missionaries and the other with 8. Therefore we switched them around a little bit and in the process Elder Thomas and I now work with Elder Quispe, a Peruvian. He´s a great district leader and really cares about the guys in our district. :)
That´s about it for this week. :) Have a great Christmas Season!

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
