Dear Friends and Family :)
Cultural Note:
I have seen a robbery, lots of people doing drugs, and a few breaking the law of chastity in the park; but never a dead body or street fights and arguments :( This world is sad sometimes.
Ryan´s kayak is so much cooler because he made it himself and you guys look great :) love y'all
Oh no, looks like Ellie likes shoes too much already :P
WHOOOOO TEMPLE!!!!!! :) Is there a date for the Fort Collins Temple dedication yet?
The Office is definitely less stressful with two doing the work of one but we still haven´t had any free time. We are still catching up.
Transfers are the 24th of September. There is a possibility that I'll leave the office the 10th because a missionary who extended his mission is leaving and I´d have to take his place in stead of doing emergency transfers; but we will see. That would be kind of sad seeing as we finally have investigators attending church and I would leave before their baptism and before the 18 de Septiembre (Independence Day) pero hay que hacerlo no mas (but I cannot do anything about it).
Elder Jarpa reminds me a lot of me :P so it's been a very easy companionship to get along with.
This week I learned about motivation. To be motivated to do something someone has to have a negative and a positive, to want to get away from something and go to something else. Drug addicts who know drugs are bad for them and wants to get away from the drugs will never have the motivation to do it until there is something positive that pulls them away from the negative. That's why the atonement is so important. The atonement can be the positive in our lives, the motivation to serve, the motivation to change, the motivation to set goals, the motivation to act.
All is well

My Office
Tehe - my office has a plaque, plus I like how you can see Elder Jarpa working and then the refection of Elder Lastra.
Ceviche (sp?) and Empanadas!
Ward Activity! 2 of our investigators attending, 3 from the assistants and 1 from the sister missionaries. The Bishop is playing the piano like a boss.
The skills of Elder Jarpa.
The Missionaries in Viña del Mar Ward! Elders Gatica, Tonkinson, Jarpa, Hall, and Sisters Martinez and Calderon. It was Hermana Calderon´s birthday so we got her a cake before the ward activity.
The bottom of my shoe is starting to wear out.
The soles of my shoes tambien (also) are wearing out.
