So I took my companion to Vina today so he can go home. It was hard to say good-bye. He is the companion I have been with the longest. I am now with Elder Isabelle from Mexico for two days and then transfers will be Wednesday. I still don't know what will happen. I have been here a really long time, but I don't know that they will sent both me and my companion out of the area. So I will probably be here for six more weeks. This last week was long. It felt like the time of three transfers put together. So, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be with another missionary that finishes his mission. It wasn't too fun of a week, but we had a good time together before that, and he helped me lot with my Spanish. I still don't speak well, but I got a lot better.
This week we had six people come to church. I think for some of the reason it was to say good-bye to my companion, but what ever starts the seed I guess. This week we found a less active lady. She has been going through a lot. She has been robbed six times in the last year. It was like the perfect time for us to come. It is funny how it all worked out to tell you the truth. It's cool how the Lord works. She has had a rough time, and she kept calling us the angels that the Lord sent, so that made me feel pretty good. Then yesterday we had to go to Vina for Elder Amezquita's last interview. It was interesting. We ate lunch at like four or five in the afternoon.
Sounds like you had a busy week with everyone there. I bet that was fun. Every Monday I forget what I am going to say. Oh yeah, yesterday we had a meeting with the leaders of the ward and our leader, Brother Missinal was worried about no baptisms, but the bishop was cool. He and the Elder's Quorums leader said, "We have four excellent missionaries here. Sometimes the hearts of the people change." Other than that, I don't really know what else happened. This week was kind of a blur.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that when we went to the Mission President's house yesterday, we walked in and his wife is wearing a Bart Simpson's apron. I never thought I would see that for a Mission Presidents wife. But they are Chilean, so it made me laugh. Have a good week.
Love,
Elder Gillies
