So this week was pretty neat/different.
In Chile they have not one, but TWO days where dillinquents go out into the streets and do shannanigans! One of them is the 11th of Sept. which is supposed to commemorate the day that the communist government fell (and the dictatorship arose) but it's just an excuse for the flaites to be flaite. 
Sunday night and just about all of Monday we had to stay in the house. However, we got permission to spend it in the house of other missionaries in a neighboring ward. We made no-bake cookies, pizza, played a rousing round of monopoly (which I won 
) and made banana smoothies. One of the new American Elders and I also taught our latino comps how to play BS. (Patrañas for those who were wondering about a translation) They loved it and we had fun playing it.
On our way out Tuesday morning I found a pair of nike running shoes and soccer shoes that only fit me out of us 4, so I took em home! 
This week was good in many aspects. We had a great referral for a Haitian in our sector. We went by to check it out and he saw us, was super happy and invited us in. I love the Haitians. They were finishing up watching a soccer game and then the 5 of them that were there had everyone else around quiet down so we could share. We taught about the Restoration and they were very receptive. Three of them (2 had to go to work) accepted a baptismal invitation. We have a return appointment with them this week.
We also had a Zone Conference with the entire mission on Thursday with Elder Bragg (part of the area seventy). It was a really cool meeting and he gave some great ideas on how the mission can progress even more.
Other than that, we've been doing some contacting. A lot of our current investigators are a bit busy so it's been hard to teach lately. The district has been doing really well, though, and I'm loving being able to be really involved with how the other companionships are and helping them progress.
That's about all for this week, have a good one!
Elder Sierra
