That is because this week we will oficially be killing my good ol' friend Elder Marsh. He has already had his last interview with president and is ready to head off to the US of A. We have had a really good week though, and seen lots of little miracles. For example: Last week we contacted a lady that was hanging up her clothes outside to dry. She had a back problem so we said 'why dont you just let us do that for you'. She was grateful and told us to go back another day. We went back and she wasn't home but her daughter who is about 23 opened the door. I could just tell from her eyes that it was kind of a rough moment from her. We started talking about life and about god´s plan for us and she just burst. She has lots of worries and lots of fears and problems in her life right now and she felt like it was an answer to her prayers. Unfortunately we couldnt go in because they were alone but we invited her to church and she showed up! She told us she loved it and felt a lot of peace. So god is in charge. Isnt that just a great thing to know?
Mercedes and Rocio are also doing really well. Mercedes will be getting baptized here quickly and Rocio is there taking the little steps she needs to so that she can be ready.
This is already the last week of the change and so next week will be pretty wild to see who my new companion is and to organize all the transfers.
One fun thing we did this week is in the night time we made some choripanes on the grill we had out back. The thing is that in chile there arent gas grills, you have to do them with charcoal. But it takes a hot minute for the charcoal to start up, so we decided to do it gringo style and brought out my companions hair blow dryer (shout out to nate) and we used that to get it to light up quicker.
Sounds like it was a great week down in saint george and playing soccer! Hope everybody scores at least one goal for me this week.
