I made it! :) I am in the ward Diego Portales with Elder
Jensen from Hagerman Idaho, he has 6 weeks here in Chile.
Last Sunday I had a good laugh as we read in Alma 8
during Sunday School about Alma returning to the land of Ammoniah in a
different sector to preach again, as I applied the scripture to my life I
pointed it out to Elder Marín and we laughed.
Elder Rojas (my second companion in Pozo Almonte) started
his mission in Diego Portales and also has come back up here to Arica and we
are in the same district.
Elder Sorenson my Zone leader in Alto Hospicio also is
here in Alborada as his last transfer.
Our zone is again very young in the mission. Everyone
expect two missionaries, (Elder Soreson and Elder Relei) has less than 10
months in the mission. So that is a basic lay out of the zone.
The Ward Diego Portales is very into the missionary work.
We have several ward missionaries and a ward mission leader who is very
enthusiastic for the work.
Elder Jensen still has cultural shock and so he doesn´t
know his sector extremely well so we are starting up a new with a ward list
getting to know everyone in the ward. I am grateful that I have this chance to
see really how far I have come with my Spanish and my teaching and abilities in
missionary work, and realize if all of that is only in 7 months...wow it´s
going to be an awesome two years.
Have a Wonderful day - because you can choose to
