Challenging Week

Hey Everybody :-D Howzit going?!
Things are going alright here in Chile concepcion south :-) It´s cold some times and always in the mornings but you get used to that and I´m finally getting used to the food :-D They use a TON of grease in like everything :-) but no, it´s a really cool place all in all. I haven´t felt very homesick since I´ve arrived which I´m grateful for. I do think of home but its not devestating to me :-D I was worried about grace though :-P We were having some sort of conference and during lunch Sister Swenson was talking to me and then she was like ´´Oh yeah, Did you hear about Grace´s accident?´´ I was like ´´uh . . . NO´´ I´m glad to hear that her toe is doing alright. Anyways, more about me :-D
So this last week has been pretty interesting for both good and bad unfortunately :-P Just to let you know I´m absolutely fine, it´s something else :-P During this last week we got two investigators to commit to dates for their baptisms. :-D I wrote more about them in a letter to Mom and Dad so you can look forward to that :-D Unfortunately i only wrote one letter :-P Next week I promise to write more :-D Anyways so there was that, and we also went to a baptism for Elders Wilde and Mondragon. :-D It was really cool :-D Elder mondragon was like ´´step up to the celestial kingdom mi amigo. Watch your step´´ :-D Too funny. I´m learning chilano more and more every day :-) I already know spanish pretty good but they didnt teach me chilano in the MTC :-D Also, I didn´t say anything before but the food here messed me up pretty bad when came the first week :-P I{m totally fine now though .-D SURPRISE. :-D Elder Bustos was telling me that everybody that isn´t a native to Chile has to get used to the food as well. He said that he had the same problem. But yeah i´m aight now :-D
Speaking of Elder Bustos, that´s where the bad comes in :-P We´re having transfers this week and we had actually thought that everyone would be staying in our district because Me and Elder Mondragon were brand new and Elders Wilde and Bustos were needed cuz they knew the area. Turns out that Elder Bustos is leaving and I´m getting a new comp :-P Unfortunately it´s not just that Pres Swenson wants to be funny. It was kind of important that Elder Bustos would leave. I´m still not sure about everything that was going on but I know that the other Elders found some letters and things that made it pretty evident that Elder Bustos was beginning to have a relationship with a member. Fortunately nothing happened, but the fact that this is even happening as missionaries is still pretty crappy. So since yesterday I´ve been in a trio with Elder Wilde and Mondragon :-) Already I think that my Spanish is dying :-D Just kidding. They are both really cool guys. Elder Mondragon likes to call Comp inventories a lot .-D I´m doing aight. It´s just weird to say that my trainer was with me for less than three weeks cuz he got kicked out of the sector. But you know, whatever .-D
Anyways :-D Everything else is aight. we are all chilling and stuff :-D At home we actually listen to a lot of music. I´m kind of mad that I don´t have my Ipod :-D Don´t send me my ipod though :-D I{m sure that if i had it then i would just hang out at home just listening to music :-D Things that I do need though, My gloves are with forrest so i´ve been needing a pair :-) It´s alright now cuz springs coming but it would be nice to have some nice guantes just in case. Speaking of awful weather, it´s actually not that bad here with the rain :-D It´s only rained twice since i´ve been here and i really like wearing my overcoat and making people think I´m the matrix coming to baptize them!
Unfortunately thats it for me :-P I´m trying to find things to type but i can´t :-P I´ll try harder next week .-D Until then Mom Dad Sam Meri Grace and Sophie, I love you all and Sed Feliz.
Sincerely
Elder
