Snow Trip!!!‏

So this morning my zone and I got a huge van and drove up to ski resort on one of the volcanoes and it was so much fun. I wish i could send you some of the videos that i have because they are Legit. But ill just have to show you them in a little less then a year and a half (I officially passed the 6th months mark a week ago but i forgot to say something about it. But it was so funny when we were driving up the driver we hired was listening to the radio, and the song Hey Soul Sister Comes on the Radio.

And my Zone leader said that he loved this song but he could never understand what it was saying. So he turn to me and says Elder Crockett, you speak English right? And i responded Ya a little bit, not enough that i would feel comfortable living in the US. My zone leader than asked me to translate the song for him. So as we were listening to the song I was translating every single word into spanish ( i had to change the phrasings a little bit so it would make more sense) (try translating untrimmed in spanish haha) But after words he said Finally i understand what this song is about, I have been wanting to know for years!



Oh random side story. Sunday night i had a general preisthood meeting, and after we had a meeting for ll the presidents of the Districts that i had to go too. But it was in La Union and it ended late enought that there was not any busses heading for LAgo Ranco. So i ad to spend the night there. So i stayed with the Elders In Caupulican nd it was so funny. The Elders call their lndlord to tell her that i was coming, well kind of, but i wont get into that story. But after all my meetings i walk into her home and she yells. FINALLY The Mission sends me a Gringo. I have been waiting to have a gringo in my home for years and years. (There has never been very many gringos in my zone. I have a theory why but i wont share)

But She Says Boy You aint ganna be so skinny when i am done with you (If she spoke english i totally picture her talking like an old black woman) So i tell her, sorry i am only here for tonight i am  leaving in the morning. She then Says ´´Well Shoot, I guess i have to fatten you up right now then.´´ And oh my goodness i dont think i have ever eaten more food in my entire life... And when i would tell her i was full she would say ´´Well too bad, you aint leaving if you dont keep eatin´´ So i kept eating... IT was incredible delicious. Probably the best food i have had here in Chile, but oh my goodness it was so much....

So much.
So on a different note i am going to talk about something a little more Elder Crockett ish While i was in the Priesthood Meeting for my Distrito of La Union I was feeling the spirit really strong. And we were talking about this program of Asignaciones that i think i´ve mentioned before. But as i was in the meeting i had a mini ´´vision´´ And i saw myself buying the property to build a really chapel. Not a casa capilla. And then i was thinking to myself about what i needed to do so that i can get a really chapel here in lago ranco.

And in my head i saw a peace of paper that i have in my desk that has the name and the address of every single member in Lago Ranco. And i remembered that there are 119 different people on this list. But we only have about 15 active members. So i had the thought that if i visited every dingle one of these members, invite every single one of them to church this week. And give them an assignment ( I really hop Ive talked about these assignments in more detail in an earlier email because they re miracle workers) That in this next cambio i will be able make the arrangement to build a new chapel.

And when all these thoughts clicked together in my head i had one of those (AH YEAH) Smiles. nd it was great the District President saw me smiling, and gave me a look that said You look like you are about to see miracles and you know it. (you know how you can have entire conversations without saying a single word. It was totally one of those moments) And all i did was i just started to nod my head. And started to smile too. I have alot of work to do this week. And i am so ready to do it.
Love you all keep me posted!!!!!
