Well chiles good. lets see, what all happened this week.... well to start off, the earthquake that everyone was predicting for yesterday never happened haha there were a few dissapointed people lol even if there were n earthquake or a tremor i wouldnt notice it cuz i sleep on the top bunk here and E`Paz who sleeps below me mmoves a lot in his sleep, so it baisically feels like theres an earthquake every night here lol its getting really cold here now too. winter is officially here and im going to buy a thiker coat this week i think.
things have been good with my comp lately. but i cant say im sad that cambios are next week haha :D and it seems pretty likely that he will be leaving haha
the only fun thing that happened this week was we went to the house of the family of the girl we baptised last sunday. they live like 30 mins away from the city, so they drove us there for a family home evening. we cooked some empanadas and pizza, and we brought some brownie mix and made brownies with them. but they got a little burnt on the edges cuz the pan was too big, and we cooked them in a brick oven, or dirt oven or whatever its called. but the ones in the center were good haha then we sharred a message about the gift of the holy ghost (that she recieved the next day) and then we played some card games. and we invited the friend they had over to church and she said she was interested in hearing more. then it started raining a bunch an they drove us back to san carlos. it was a good time.
The only funny thing this week was when me n my comp were walking down the street and he told me that he had a bad dream that he got bit by 3 dogs lol and while we were walking, one of the many stray dogs that walk around the city started following him, and it was a big dog too. so he started freaking out and yelling at it and swinging his bag at it, but it just kept following him wagging its tail until it found another dog to play with haha it was pretty hilarious, but he didnt think it was that funny lol
Oh and yesterday at church i had a surprise visit from some people from Penco :) it was really nice. one of them was this girl me n elder martinez were teaching for awhile and now i just learned she got baptized only a little after i left and has been strong in the church since and that a couple other of the people we were teaching got baptised too. it was a cool feeling :) and they were really nice and brought me n my comp some gifts haha it was mostly food. cuz they know that we dont usually have much food in our house lol
other than that, things have been prety normal around here. just a lot colder. haha
Love,
Elder Jared Philpott
