Hello Family,
This week was really good, we had some success and hopefully we will be having a baptism this next week.. the kid is really hyperactive and doesn’t want to stay in his classes though in church so its kind of complicated. On Friday we found and taught this way amazing guy in the rich part of the sector. It was way awesome, I really think he is going to be baptized. We had to answer tons of questions about the virgin Mary though. it was really hard for him to accept that its not good to pray to her. I’m going to take a picture of elder Sanchez right now and send it to you.
We had interviews this week and it was way good. President really is so awesome, and is one of the greatest examples that I have ever seen.
Today was way cool I finally met Cecilia, Brent’s friend from the mission. Me and Elder Wilkey the assistant, and my friend from St George, went and ate with her and her family today. She was so happy to see me and they were asking me all these questions and stuff about my family and my life. They want Brent and all you guys to go there when you come to pick me up. It was way funny today at lunch they were talking about Calvin and Preston because they have them on face book or something ha-ha, way weird hearing their names from this random Chilean family..
I’m so glad the packers won BUT I’M SO SAD I will miss it. Of course the year they go to the super bowl I’m in Chile. I have bad luck like that!! But well if they win it will still be way cool. Gosh the Steelers play in the super bowl like every year.. How was the game against the bears? was it really good? If they win please you have to send me a shirt and a hat...
The fried bananas were ok. They are pretty good but its not like they are amazing. The mom I’m teaching reminds me of you because she looks like you. Her face is like the same as yours mom its funny.
Ya here in Chile there is a cement soccer court almost in every block I swear. There are little fields everywhere. Its called baby futbol. Everyone plays it. That’s what we play too every Thursday.
We have been way busy as zone leaders, I don’t have any time to write hand letters or any of that.. Our zone is really awesome though.. I like the missionaries a lot. This Saturday and Sunday I played the guitar in two baptisms. This girl from Ohio got baptized in our stake yesterday. She is way awesome. She goes to Ohio state and everything. She is down here in Chile for the summer to get away from the winter.. She and her mom speak like perfect English so it was way cool. Elder Daines this new kid got to teach her in English. Well got to go, I love you!
Have a good week. GO PACKERS!!!!
　
I asked Elder Whitney if he thought watching football on Sunday was breaking the Sabbath and his reply was:
I don’t have an opinion of that as a missionary, because all the members buy and watch TV on Sunday in Chile, so I’m surrounded with bad examples.
