Hello Family!

We had a really good week, it was kind of weird being the senior comp but things actually went pretty good. We had some pretty funny and weird experiences ha-ha. We were like walking and this random weird skinny guy with white hair walks up to us and tells us that he is a member, so we go over to his house and we talk with him and his mom and everything. But he told us hat he knows where a lot of other menos activos live and he wanted to show us them. So the next day we go wit him and he shows us some random house and we go in and taught like 3 new investigators that weren’t even members, and there all way awesome except they can never come to church on Sunday cause their family always comes over or something! But anyways it was rally cool cause we just got this new rule that we cant enter a house AT ALL if their isn’t a member of our same sex present. In Chile like almost half or our lessons are with ladies that are home alone. That guy said he could go with us to any lesson as long as it was past three. So now we have someone who can go with us. He like wants to dress up like us too, he told us that he has the jacket and pants but all he needs are the shoes. So me and my comp got these way sweet black shoes from a member and gave them to him. He’s pretty stoked.

We taught a lot of lessons this week too, we had like 9 with a member. We have a couple baptism dates too. Right now we are teaching a ton of people that could get baptized but they don’t come to church! its so hard! we have like amazing lessons with them and they are like oh ya I want to come to church and they they never come! Its so frustrating...My comp is pretty sweet. He struggles a lot in Spanish so I’m teaching and talking A TON now... He cant teach very good in Spanish so its like kind of hard to teach with him. I have to like re teach a lot cause the people don’t understand a lot. I’m learning a ton though and I think we are going to have a ton of success this change. I’m loving the members here too they are so awesome.

We had a talent night at the church and a lot of investigators came and stuff it was so funny. I played the guitar .... I mean I TRIED to play the guitar, I forgot like all of the words to hotel California though.. It was still fun. Well family I got to go but I love you have fun! I’m really jealous that your going on a cruise... You could take me next time on a Mexican cruise cause I know Spanish
Love you Chao! Elder Whitney
