Dear Family,
So today I completed 9 months in the mission!!! WHAT! That's half a sister missionary's mission!!! Things have been going super fast! And kinda even a bit too fast! 9 months?! I'm almost at the downhill and that just makes me sad :(
I got my scripture case today! It's not too bad! Just took a couple months to get!
So things with Chilean investigators haven't been going to well. I'm not sure why, but it's been really rough recently. We've been working really hard, and have been super busy lately, but just don't seem to be having much progress.
On the other hand, things with the Haitians are going pretty dang well! After the slight harvest we had recently a handful have been progressing better than the others. They don't progress very fast, but they're just outstanding people.
We've been keeping it coming with the Spanish classes! Saturday and Wednesday we had 8 students! (6 were the same, two were different) and yesterday, we were able to stop by the mission office to get a bunch of new materials and stuff to help us! It's really cool and the Haitians are really thankful for it!
Today for P-day we went to a newish mall in Chile and it was pretty fun. They have a lot of neat stores there and a really big super market that sells a lot of American things! For the first time in 9 months Imma have root beer :D
I was also able to get some puff pastry sheets and it was the biggest struggle to explain what I was looking for because to them pastelitos are little cakes, and "mil hojas" is also not really it. But the worker there was really determined, and my comp and I tried to tell him like 4 times that it was fine and to just forget it, but he was "NO, I got this!!" and then he actually found it! I hope he wins employee of the month.
That was the better part of what happened this week! Have a good one everyone!

Oh yeah!
Santiago just got this new train! It's integrated into the public transport system here and no one knows about it! It's a dream!
