this week went by so fast. it was crazy. but i was also really nervous all week cuz i didnt want to get changed. but the good news is that i am staying here in avenida matta for a 4th change and elder sosa and i are staying together. so im hoping for some good things this change. as long as we can stay focused and not enjoy the ward to much that we are in.
basically the whole week we just focused on making sure we got everything done for the baptism that we had on saturday. but i swear if the baptisms keep getting more and more complicated like they are right now, im gonna die from stress before i come home. cuz the last baptism was stressful enough but this one was even worse. cuz we werent sure if we were even gonna have it til about an hour before. but basically what happened during the week is that we had to figure out who was going to baptize her. but early in the week we found out that the dad wanted to baptize her since she is a 9 year old girl. and that would have been fine.....except for the fact that he has been inactive for the last year. so in order for that to happen, he had to have an interview with the bishop. but the bishop was on vacation til the morning of the baptism. so they had that interview 15 min before it started. and then also we didnt have clothes for either of them til the morning of. then to pile another thing on top, we got to the church building half an hour before and the baptismal font was empty. and it takes 6 hours to fill with hot water. so then we just had to fill it quickly with cold water and so it was literally ice cold for her when she got in. but at least there will be something for her to remember.
the other cool thing about this week is that we made shirts as a district. cuz we are named los encapuchados (which basically is another name for rioters if i havent explained that before) so we made a jersey type thing with that name on the front and then our names and numbers on the back. and they only cost about 8 dollars so it wasnt bad. but my name is el rey, sosa is el macho, leavitt is el rusio rico, tognetti is the italian stallion, enamorado isenamorado.com, and then carcamo put te pongo which i literally cant explain that one cuz its to dirty. probably not something that a missionary should put but its hilarious on him cuz he is tiny and so quiet.
the other thing that i bought this week is a soccer jersey of chile that i found pretty cheap. its real but it cost about 25 dollars less than normal. and i also bought another jersey of my favorite team from here in chile, la u de chile. that is one good thing about here in chile is that they have a ton of places called ferias where they sell just about everything and its all cheaper. i cant remember what its called in the states. but its better here cuz they are everywhere and you can find anything. so i took advantage of that
but i hope that everyone enjoys thanksgiving this week. i wont have anything like it but ill eat a ton during our lunch and call it good since they always feed us a lot. have a good week.
