New Assignment

Elder Crockett, we have a new assignment for you We are sending two more missionaries to Aysen in a couple of days. We need you to divide the sector, and take care of all of the preparations to receive the new missionaries.´´
``Ya dont worry, about it. Its not the first time i´ve had to do this. I´ll call you back when i have everything ready.´´

So i am dividing a sector again. I had to do it once before about a year ago, and so i already had an idea of all the work that i´ve had to do, its a little different than what i had to do in Paillaco, because i had to include parts of other small towns, and take away part of the sisters sector, in order to have 3 equal sized (by inhabitants) sectors. More than likely i will be the one with my new companion that will be opening the new sector. Which is good because i was needing a little bit of change in my life seeing on how i´ve been here sense November, and i have literally knocked every single door in my current area, and so a new sector will be better. But its funny the division i had to make there is one sector that we are going to give to probably my current companion with his new comp, and they will have the most people to teach, but its all the ghetto parts of Aysen haha. I really want to work in that sector, for mainly two reasons, one because most of my current investigators are there, and its the most dangerous parts of the city, and so the missionaries there are going to have to coolest stories haha.
 
But more than likely i will have to open up the new part of the sector, which is really just two big communities, one is all the rich people, and stores in the city, and the other part is on the other side of the river, where there hasnt been Elders in a really long time. There is no good maps that has the streets of this part of the city written down, so it is going to be an adventure finding out where people live there.
The third part i we are giving to the sister missionaries, it is on the south side of the river, the west half of the city. And they also get a couple of little town that are outside of aysen so they are going to have to travel occasionally. Its the same area they were in before but its smaller. Initially they got mad at me for cutting out of their sector, but then i showed them the maps and showed them how they have the best piece of the pie and so they are less mad at me haha. Just kidding they are happy now.

This week was actually super slow for me. I did a ton of service. I entered 5 cubic meters of fire wood, then we had to get it cut with a chainsaw, and then after it was cut i had to enter it into a small cabin thing for firewood, and organize it all. That took forever.
I also Painted a House. Half way through the new member who needed our help had to leave, and left me and my companion there alone to paint the other half of the house. Also took forever haha
I also had to help a member whos lives on the side of the river, whos house was starting to collapse, and i had to dig away a little hill. And move the earth from said hill to underneath the house to re enforce it. The member did help with that though.
 
And there was alot more too, with loading up trucks, and other things like that, but long story short, i now understand the importance of going to Collage, because i spent one entire week doing manual labor, and there is no way that i am going to be able to do that for my entire life hahahahahahaha. I did sleep really good this week though haha of coarse i would wake up and my entire body was sore haha. As a missionary its not too uncommon that we will spend a whole day doing service, or doing a little bit of service every day. But almost all day everyday for an entire week freaking killed us haha.

This week i did have a really cool experience. Back in November i was teaching a newly married family, but lost contact with them, because they went on vacations for all of the month of December, and as soon as they got back they moved houses, and changed their cell phones. And so it was 100% impossible to get into contact with them. But they returned home from their vacations in January, and my companion and i tried to track them down, but we couldnt find them. But the other day we were leaving from one teaching appointment we had (one of the few that we had that had nothing to do with service haha), and were running a little late for our next appointment, and so we were very quickly walking (almost running) to our next appointment when i feel the need to stop walking, and use a different road. 
 
So i tell my companion to stop, and then decide to take a different street that was leading in almost the opposite direction of of our appointment. And i think my companion thought that i was taking some gang precaution or something because he followed me without saying anything (it was in one of the sometimes dangerous areas) And as we were walking down this street i say a car that i knew for a fact that i had seen before. So we knock the door, and the wife that i used to teach answered the door, and was super excited but super surprised to see us. And she lets us come in and we talk with her and her husband (the husband we super receptive before they left, he is even more receptive now) And we set up a appointment with them and then left to our appointment we were already late for. We came back the other day and taught them again, and they are awesome. But i imagine that i will tell yall more about them another day.

Welps Love Yall!!!!
