Well this week was really good for us in Conchali 10. We had a baptism. His name is Carlos and he is 15 years old. He is a little gangster but he is really funny and he likes the church and feels comfortable in it, that's always good to hear. We have been working with him for a long time but we got him to the water. His baptism was really good. His family was there and now his brother and sister want to get baptized, and his cousin too. So we are going to work with them and hopefully help them be baptized too. So I think May is going to be a good month for our Heavenly Father in Conchali 10.
Last week we did service. We were putting in stepping stones for a family and the father of the family was helping us. When we would put down one of the stones we would put sand under it and he kept telling us it was anti-earthquake. Man, he is the funniest guy. He was a wrestler here in Chile, a luchador. Just like Nacho Libre, it's cool to hear his stories.
A little about my sector:
We have lunch with a family everyday but Monday, but sometimes the family can't do it so we cook our own food. Elder Ojeda made some Mexican food, rice with milk. Man, that stuff is so good. We have made hamburgers and mashed potatoes (thanks for the packets mom! hahaha) We only eat out on Monday's. (Man, I waste so much money on Monday's.) A sister washes our clothes, all we have to do is buy the soap. Man, the members love the missionaries.
My sector is really different than my last one. I am in the city and there is a lot more stuff going on and it's faster. But it's not a bad sector, we don't have any problems with the people and we are happy for that.
My ward is really cool. It's a ward from super old people to newly married to babies. It's a really nice ward and I love it. But the building doesn't have heat so it's really cold. During Sacrament Meeting there was an earthquake, like 5.4 or something. It was rather big and I was like weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Some of the older sisters got up and ran for the doors. I just sat there like, "this is fun!"
Update on me:
-I am 6'2" - still :-(
-I am 210 pounds - yes I have gained 10 pounds :-(
(I had a hard time getting my suit pants on so I will be working out this week so they fit me. Man I am getting fat! hahaha
Have a good week everyone.
Love you all,
Elder Christensen
