happy day my lovers!
how are you all? well, i may have been wrong about the date and location of the terremoto but it still had a drastic affect here in santiago--all the world went loco. well, all the poeple anyway. for example: this week an investigator told us that a member told him the garden of eden can be found in Arizona. then at church this man came and we had no idea who he was. so naturally my comp and i went to talk to him and he told me "i don´t want any of your questions". and he wasn´t wearing a belt and i don´t think i have ever seen a hairier rear end in my life and i am pretty sure i´m going to have nightmares now. then there´s this inactive member we just started teaching-leslie. and in between sunday school and relief society she was in the bathroom snorting drugs. then dionicio (the man whose mom died last month and has been really really depressed) told us ¨quiero todo el mundo y no me importa si todo el mundo no me quiere." which means: i love the whole world and i don´t care if the world doesn´t love me. he turned into a hippie.
on the spiritual side of things jaime was baptized on saturday. it was awesome. he is super shy so he didn´t want to invite anyone. but eventually he invitied his polola and her family. and he also told us he didn´t want any photos. then the day of his baptism we asked if we could take just one to send to the office and he let us take like 50. he was so happy. it was awesome.
the other day we were knocking doors and found gladys. she´s catholic but says she always listens to religious people cause she likes to her the word of god. the next day we were at maria´s and gladys came over to talk to us. she was drunk. it made for an interesting lesson, but we taught about faith anyway. i think she got a little bit out of it.
scott, to answer your question, at this point, yes i could go a day on my own and survive if i had to. but there are still a lot of people i don´t understand and a lot of things i don´t know how to describe. but when we contact hna espinosa makes me talk all the time so i´ve learned quickly.
and to everyone-THANK YOU. i got a lot of letters this week and felt very loved. if i don´t write you back for a couple weeks or months please don´t think it means i don´t love you. it only means i´m out saving souls and you are all recieving blessings from it so you should be happy!
i love you all and miss you. stay out of trouble and stay in touch.
mucho amor,
