Dear Family,
So this week was supposed to be super awesome with tons of progress but despite working hard and getting lots of lessons in, we didn't have as much traction as we'd hoped. Remember our golden investigator Coni? We might have to drop her!!! It's super lame and she hasn't been doing anything! We gave her some super simple homework last week saying to read a chapter,6 verses a day, at the beginning of her studies and also start with a prayer and we promised it would help her. If she doesn't we might end up letting her go for about a couple weeks or even longer.
One really cool thing that happened, though, was that for Fast Sunday I fasted so that we could get some baptismal dates on our investigators (and some other stuff, but mostly that). Because we had a big activity with a part member family that included an Asado (bar-b-que?) on Saturday, we started our fast on Sunday after lunch to Monday at lunch. The same day we finished our fast, one of our weakest investigators said she wanted to get baptized and we set a date for her! We also starting re-teaching an ancient investigator and we'll try to set up a date for next time!
We also had interviews with President yesterday and it was awesome. He talked about some stuff and it was pretty chill.
Oh yeah, so there's this new rule in all of south America that we can't leave our missions anymore for p-day! President actually tried to get an exception because there's like NOTHING in our mission (it's basically just the poorest 1/8 of Santiago) but he was denied! It's kinda sad but what evs, I guess. We can still go to the temple 6x a year.
We also went to Micky D's on Monday and I got a dope dijon mustard burger combo! What a splendid way to break a fast it was!!! And, I almost tried a flurry with TOBLERONE!!! but when I asked them about it they didn't even have it despite all their huge banners promoting it and a tv playing commercials about it!! Chile sometimes....
Anyway, things are looking good right now. For p-day today we went to a chapel to have a little water balloon fight, watch The Lion King and have a little asado.
That`s about all for this week!
Chao!
