Big Changes

So this past week i got a new comp, whos name is elder P, and the kid is such a boss. But random fact this week he taught me how to solve a rubix cube. and i am getting pretty good at it, its super fun. But anyways the kids a boss, its his first time as a zone leader, and it was really funny, he just finished training a new elder, and then one of the first things he told me was, ´´Im so happy that i am out of training now, because now i finally get to leave to work in the mornings again!!!´´ And then i had to burst his bubble and say ´´Well dont really count on being outside much more´´ And then i showed him our calender and how we literally dont have any time any morning because we have some kind of meeting, or have to go do visa  stuff and its like that literally everyday. And then he just said´´Well....AT LEAST I DONT HAVE TO BE STUCK IN THE SAME HOUSE ALL DAY LONG!!¨¨ hahaha we think alike. I almost went crazy in my training just because i had to sit down so much. 

But this week was really good. We had a meeting with our mission presidente, and it was awesome (and only 5 hours long....ALOT SHORTER THAN NORMAL!!!!!¨¨ But its nuts we are having some super big changes in the mission (all sadly right after i go home...Waa) But one of them is nuts. We have been selected to be a mission that starts a pilot program, where we are no longer going to have any of the Key indicators, (lessons with member, others, baptismal invitations, references, all of those things) And we are only going to keep track of 2 numbers, Baptisms, and Church attendance (in general). Which is nuts, but we are trying to test to see if those two numbers get bumped up (because missionaries are going to put alot more focus on those things) But sadly they said that they are going to start the program the first week of January, and so i will literally only have 1 week to work with this program. Lame. But im sure that it will be awesome.

We also talked alot about Christmas, and how they want us to pass la navidad, and i am super stoked about it, they want us to do a bunch of public activities, and stuff, so i started to make arrangements for that too, so far we have one event planned where we are going to go and sing Christmas songs at the cemetery that we sung in on Halloween (its weird to think that people would go to a cemetery on Christmas, but apparently they do. And we also planned to sing songs en la Zona Franca, which is pretty much a giant mall, that sells stuff from all around the world (mainly america haha) because boats pass by there on their way up through the channel, and sell a bunch of their cargo, and its all tax free, so everyone goes there to buy stuff, and we are going like the saturday before Christmas, so it is just going to be super packed. And so we talked to someone else to get us a sweet hookup on microphones and sound systems so that we can put on a pretty sick event hahaha just kidding, it will just be us singing more christmas songs. And i am still in the process of planning a couple of other events but its nothing concrete yet (speaking of which it just reminded me that i need to go talk to the stake presidente so that i can arrange another activity with the whole stake, ill have to do that right when i leave to work

But this week was really good, we found a family of a man who is an excommunicated member who wants to start his papers to get re baptized, and his wife wants to get baptized. WE didnt put her with a date though to get baptized, because her husband works on a boat, and he is out at sea for 21 days and then he gets 5 days off for rest, and so we are going to try to get her ready for baptism by the time he gets back, we´ll see how that turns out. Regardless i wont be here to see her baptized because ill be heading up to osorno about the same time he will get back from work.

(p.s. i found out a little more about my plans for coming home. On the 5th i will be flying out of Punta Arenas, on the 6th ill spend the day in the mission house with the Presidente, then i head out that night. On the 7th ill spend the day in Santiago and go to the temple and stuff (YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA 2 years without the temple= too long) and then that night i fly up the Florida, and from there you already know my plans.

But ima bounce now. Love you all!!!!!!!
