People asked me for more info about chile and such so here’s a little bit about that. In Chile we use pesos and about 700 pesos is the same as a dollar. Every month they put 107,000 pesos in my account so I can buy food and personal things and stuff for the house and whatnot. (It varies for different missions cuz they try to give us what we need so that we can live comfortably but not like ridiculously rich or anything) Our House rent is about 200,000 pesos at the moment, but we’re currently looking for a new place to live cuz our house here in victoria is pretty darn ghetto and it’s covered in mold and such so we’re having a house hunt this week. Taxi’s cost about a dollar and 30 cents to go anywhere in Victoria. The people here are pretty darn nice, but they also disappear pretty much every weekend to the country. I’m not sure what they all do, but anytime somebody isn’t going to be home (Usually on the weekends including Sunday) it’s because they’re going to the country. It sounds like it’s the codeword for a party house or something cuz so many people go there. HAHA! Chileans are sweet and the majority of the members when they feed us give us way too much food, so I’ve actually been trying to gain a little bit of weight so that I can eat all of it. At the moment it’s really hard to eat all of the food. 🙂
We did service on Sunday painting the house of Nelly and Jonny. We brought the hermanas from Victoria with us and it was great. It’s always kind of weird when we do Service projects because we wear pants and it’s honestly very uncomfortable cuz we’re all so used to wearing skirts when we’re in public. :S
My new companion Hna. Gourley is from Washington state and her mom is from Honduras so she speaks Spanish really well. We’re working super hard to find new investigators because we have been unable to contact the majority of our current investigators. Not much new has happened. I’ve continued to learn the importance of setting goals that are stretching, but still reasonable. Without them it’s really hard to progress.
