Trip to Canela

Sounds like you are keeping the roads hot this week. That is good that the basketball team won and that is not good that the football team lost. Maybe they will have a chance to win the Rose Bowl or are they out of that running? 

This week we went to Canela to go help out with the branch. It was really fun. We went out with all 12 missionaries. I guess the closest thing I have had to a zone activity during my mission would be the hour long car ride on the way back from Canela. This week we will have a conference with the mission president so that should be good. I am excited for that. Then we will go to Los Vilos on Sunday for the district meeting, so that will be good.  I will get to  see a lot of people who I haven't seen in over a year. It is getting really hot down here. Like it says eighty, but the sun just gets to you. This week we did some service. We were taking out dirt for a lady and I had a little pick thing. We had like five minutes left to finish and she didn't tell me there was a pipe under the dirt. I smoked that thing and water came shooting. That wasn't good, but there were some guys who come to fix it/ She didn't get mad. Then we were on the bus to go to Los Vlllos when two little kids threw up. Ii felt really so bad for the mom. I thought my comp was going to get sick and lose it too. He has a very weak stomach. Lol!  We  had a guy ask us about polygamy. He told us he walked like 30 miles to get home. I asked him if he spent those 30 miles looking for more wives. It was pretty funny. Yesterday at church the sisters were fighting in the Relief Society with all the women. Our investigator left the church mad, so we are going to have to see what happens with her now. Hopefully she still wants to come back to church after that!  Life is interesting.  Other them that, I am doing good. Have a good week.

Love,
