Hey. Things are really different here. Like. Woah. Also. I don't understand anything. woohoo!
Because this area is huge and there is only one sort of investigator, we spend most of the day contacting on the street. Curanilahue is a MASSIVE little town. It's very densely populated and surrounded by little mountain forests. The people here don't have much, so I'm very humbled by how generous the members here are.
Here are some highlights from this week:
1. One time we were mistaken for beggars. A very sweet and confused old lady tried to give us some money. Of course we declined, and instead offered to give her the message of the gospel.
2. I dunno about the Evangelicals where you live, but here they are on the prowl for Mormons to fight with. They do love their Bible. Most of the population here is Evangelic. It's a real treat for us.
3. We had intercambios or splits for greenies like me, and I worked with H. Rocha the Brazilian. She's super fabulous and I really love to spend time with her and learned an awful lot in the brief 3 hours we had together.
4. Hey more contacting. We love knockin' doors.
5. Return and report with all the new missionaries in the mission office. I got to see Hermana Ellis and it was really nice to see a familiar face. I hope she's doing well because she deserves it!
Uhkay.. Sorry there are no pics again.... I make a promise to send photos next week.
Mom: Evangelicals? I pictured mostly Catholics. Not so much Cattolica? What do you do on P-days? Can you share just a little more about your apartment, your food, and stuff.
Noelle: We live right across from the Bombadores like the fire department and they have the most wonderful siren they love to use at random hours of the day and night. Imagine the blitz sirens for bomb raids. Right outside our window. We are grateful for their service at all hours.
I have only met one Catholic to date. Everyone else is evangelical. REALLY EVANGELICAL.
P'days we write and buy what we need for the week then.... H. Bazaes sleeps then we contact. I don't know what other people do, but I'm sure there will be a day when we can do something fun.
We really have to run. I miss y’all tons.
