CHILE!!! primer semana (First week in chile) in (Copia po)

Wow its the first p-day in the campo misional its been such a great

experience everything is great but we will start at the beginning i had two 

flights this last thursday one was from mexico to chile it was 8 hours but it 

was probably the best 8 hours on a flight i will ever have because they gave 

me a first class ticket because there were no other seats on the plane it 

was awesome i had lobster, scallops, steak, i could lay my seat out flat, i 

could watch movies, play games, or listen to music( i could it doesnt mean 

i did). it was great i just didnt watch, play, or listen to anything i just ate 

then slept it was great but i got a full 8 hours of sleep and the rest of my 

group got little or nothing haha. Then when we arrived in chile santiago we 

were quickly rushed across the airport and on to the plane i wish i could 

have called but it was better i just get on my flight haha. Then i made it to 

antofogasta met up with presidente dalton y el esposa hermana dalton they 

are such great people and also shout out to kirsten the assistent to the 

president is elder newman the elder in the mountavile 4th ward i believe, he 

totally remembered you though. Anyways then we took those pics at the 

coast i know i look really funny but remember i did not change those 

clothes until we got to the hotel that night (like 2 days straight). Afterwards 

we went to the mission home got some food info and a hotel to stay the 

night and sleep that was so great. The next morning they gave us a packet 

and some info of where we were going and who our comp was but we had to open like a mission call it was really fun anyway i am now in Copia po its 

so great it is the same city that a few years back had the 33 miners trapped in the mine for a month it is amazing to listen to peoples stories about it 

because almost everyone remembers it and brings it up all the time. And its really great my sectors have alot of preety well off people that are inactive 

so there has been alot of reactivating (we have 2 of them now it is massive 2 companionships used to cover it and now we have it all) and my companion 

is elder jimenez he is a native he is so tuned in with the spirit is just great i 

was really worried about having a native comp but honestly it is awesome i 

have alot of advantages and disadvantages and thats life. He is awesome 

though he set it up real nice for me we are teaching 4 familys right now they love to make fun of me because i cant understand what they say i have 

never been so frustrated and happy at the same time in my whole life they 

speak so fast and drop almost every S and in the spanish language that is 

preety important! Anyway its all good though they are still great people and 

i know the language will come and it is really nice there are alot of people 

that know some english and love to walk down the street and say "hello" its 

really funny the town is preety weird our sectors are kind of like the suburbs 

and when you get into town you find all the weirdos so thank goodness im 

not there. What else???? OH YEAH there are SO MANY DOGS!!! the thing 

is people love to buy them as pups raise them until there not cute anymore 

and just throw them in the street. It is so disgusting and sad how bad there 

treated. I can not walk down a street without finding like 3 or 4 dogs on it its 

super sad. Anyway off that sad note the food is preety great they have 

these things called empenadas there basically a calzone that is fried not 

baked they are preety great and then they have these things called 

completos (completes) they are just a hot dog with a ton of crap on them, it is a fat kids dream they are awesome oh and chile is really known for there 

bread so they have some for you all the time also there is no clean water 

out of the tap so you buy all of it so every meal i have had soda it really 

gets old quick but its all good this place is so great i love everything about it (but the language haha jk) im so excited to be serving in a place i know the 

lord has specificaly picked for me at this time. I hope that answers 

everyones questions if i missed any just email me back and ask again i love you all so much your all ways in my prayers. Stay frosty utah

con mucho amor
