Well after tomorrow I can begin to sing, "I'll be home
for Christmas" I'm starting to have zeros events left in my mission, Zero
Thanksgivings, zero 23rd of Decembers, zero...well that's really it, but I'm
beginning to feel older and older in the mission, I'm starting to realize that
it will end some day. That's not a bad thought right?
Well Christmas in on the horizon and I don't feel like it at
all. It's quite a different atmosphere being here in the Sun on the beach being
sun burned, talking Spanish just kind of all just like another week of work,
but I'm quite excited to make a phone call home, as it will be amazing.
Anyways, what's happened Gillespie? Why was your email so
short last week? You didn't say anything. Well, first I need to thank Elder
Tuttle for writing an email home last week for me because there was no time for
us.
Saturday night we receive a phone call to tell Elder
Marthell and I that both of us are leaving Calama, with a special transfer. I'm
going to Mejillones, which is another little city outside of Antofagasta, a
little smaller than Pozo Almonte, and Elder Marthell is going to Iquique. So
Sunday we left with Elder Tuttle and Elder Rivas to show them were people live
that we've been visiting etc, and Monday was spent packing everything up and
going to the bus station and traveling.
Mejillones is super clean, Calama is dirty and very dusty,
lots of dirt however Mejillones is clean I just enjoy breathing there, and it
is much more green. Which still is nothing but it exists just a little.
My companion is Elder Smith from Mexico who is an amazing
teacher, I'm very thankful for this change to be with him, and in my district
Elder Jensen is here. =) We meet again.
Mejillones is a tiny branch a huge change from Oasis with
120 people attending church and going to 15 people attending, but it's good
Merry Christmas for Chile
Have a Wonderful day- because you can choose to
