Not-so-Weekly report of the Barefoot Dog Catcher

Yes, yes, I know, explain. SO yesterday we were stuck all day in the house for what is known as Joven cobatiente. It was fun, then it got kinda boring. I can't study for very long with out getting sleepy. But I did learn how to make tortillas. it was fun, I did that and everyone just kinda stared at me like I was crazy. But in the end I had delicious. At the end of the day we were all pretty tired of seeing each other, so we decided to watch some of the Church videos, and movie, when a newly baptized member called and told us that he has something for us outside. WE went and they had made cinnamon rolls. And not the bad chilean version but the real thing. We were super happy. Then all of a sudden the dogs escaped. So we had to catch them. But the problem was that I was dressed like a clown and didn't have shoes. But I ran anyways. I don't think I have ever run faster in my life. But it was fun anyways. I got home and my feet hurt, but I was smiling like crazy. So there we sat. Eating and watching Mountain of the Lord, Only a stone cutter, all the classics, until we had to go to bed. Today was pretty normal, we played soccer. Tomorrow I am going to hurt like crazy. This week, other then that, was pretty normal lots of contacting, and almost every night we take Jannot to the house of the Hna that's teaching to speak Spanish, I help and in doing so I learn a bit of french. Its cool. I learned that Girlfriend is petit amie in french, its really cute, its literally means, little love. But yeah other then that, all good. I love you all and hope your week is awesome.

Not-so-Weekly Report of A Part-time Frenchman

Well this week has been very interesting. Its weird being in a sector where you know that you will only stay for 2 weeks. But thats how it is. But the coolest thing that happened this week is that we found a guy from Haiti that speaks only French, Creole, and a very small portion of english. So I talk to him and hope he understands. We had a ward night last night and it was fun, and our friend, his name is Jannot, came. He was really confused because he didn't understand .I don't think he felt comfortable. But In the ward there is an Hna that speaks a little more french then me and could communicate to him. You should have seen the smile on his face. He was super happy. She agreed to teach him spanish if he taught her French. Shes awesome. And hey we can learn french too!

Oui, je parle français, et toi. Ma masion est petite. Or something like that. Anyways that was cool. Other then that we have been contacting like crazy trying to find people to teach, we have a couple but they don't progress. And this sector is not like my old one. Really rich. so the people are harder to talk to, or just insane. But is all good. Hope you all have a great  week. 

Love E' Whetten.

Not-so-weekly Report of a Almost Broken Bunk Bed

So this was a very interesting week, but it was fetching awesome. So we had a special training with Elder Nelson from the Quorum of the 12, and that is cool in and of its self. It was a broadcast from Salt Lake to Chile, but only to Chile, so that was sweet. The spirit was so strong. But the coolest thing about that conference was that one of our less actives that we had just barely started to teach went. She hadn’t gone for like 17 years, and she doesn’t have a firm grasp on the doctrine, so we have been teaching her and her grandma. But it was awesome, she went to church!!!!! I left that reunion so happy. Other than that the week was pretty simple. We contacted and contacted and tried to balance our time between the two sectors. But now I am in another sector, in another stake with someone else. I changed this morning. It was really weird, just going to another sector all of a sudden. I had to pack really fast and I hardly got to say goodbye to very many people. But I guess that is how the mission is. I am now with E' Palacio. He is awesome; we also live in a square that has 2 floors. It’s kinda tiring to go up and down the stairs all the time. I think that the hardest thing was finding a place to put all my ties. Hehe. Anyways I love you all and hope your week is amazing.

Not-so-weekly report of an Orphan

Ok so this week was about the craziest week I have ever had in my Mission, and ' saying something. Anyways, last Wednesday at like 8 at night my comp got called to have special changes, and that's always weird. But its a weird that can be handled. Anyways my comp left and also another guy that lived in our house. So on Thursday I was in a trio and waited for my new comp. Well turns out that I have no new comp. I am in a Trio for now, and we don't know when he is going get here. So the last couple of days I have been going out with Members like crazy, the people in my ward are awsome, but now the only problem is school. The people with who I was going out with now have school and so can only go out until 8. Bummer, but workable. Other then that its been great. Our house is being renovated so we have lights and the walls are being painted and our shower works and everything. So that's an upgrade.And today we went to the temple, which I always love to do. Its such a great pick-me-up and always leaves me with a huge smile on my face (and a red line on my forehead), then we went to Wendy's and ate. All in all a good week. Love you all and hope your week is amazing.

Not-So-Weekly report of a poor little rich boy

So ok, we went and played paintball for P-day today, and then we went and ate at a fancy restaurant. It was a big group of sweaty boys all hauling into this place, people were looking at us weird but we really din't care. I ate ribs, really good ribs and french fries. It was slightly burnt, but so was I so it was ok. 

This week was good, we did contacts, had leccions, found some more snakes, it was good. WE also painted a restaurant (nothing big or fancy but a restaurant) and then she made us Aroz chaufan for lunch. It was amazing. I have found that I love Peruvian food, even though its really hard to make. Other then that the week was pretty normal. I have to run. I Love you all and hope your week is awesome.

Not-So-Weekly Report of This guy and his pen

This week was good and interesting. Today in the morning we had an awesome conference with elder Bednar, he did this conference better then the other  conference I have been at. He made it to where we weren't just listening to talks but really listening to what the spirit could teach us. I learned alot. We also set a baptismal date, His name is Osvaldo, and he went to the Calpilla abierta, we had been teaching him before that but I think that experience really changed him. WE are also teaching a family from Peru, they are super receptive and ready to listen to this gospel. WE just have to straighten out some points of doctrine, but that's not to hard. I also left the house where we live, for the first time in a year, it made me super happy. I went with a missionary of my same group. and pretty much we did contacts all day. But what was really cool is that we went to  one house and yelled and a lady came out, she didn't look very receptive, but we started to talk to her, and she let us into her patio and there we taught the entire Plan of salvation. they have a cita with her for later, so that was awesome. BUt yeah thats My Life, I love you all and hope your life is awesome.
