Hey guys!
I hope y’all are doing good, by this time next year I will be home! Some days it seems to be going by fast and sometimes it feels like I have been doing this forever!
It’s been another great week here! So on Thursday we got permission to go on an exchange with the Elders serving in Taltal Chile, Taltal is about a 4 hours bus ride from Antofagasta! It was super cool, it’s a little old fishing town and it is full of abandoned mine shafts! Our exchange was super great and I was with a Missionary named Elder Laforce. He’s from Colorado and has been a member for 1.5yr and just hit his 6 months in the mission so he is really just a huge example and has really strengthened my testimony!
He’s a hard worker and you can tell he’s out here for the right reasons! On our exchange we got to visit a few families in their branch and had a family home evening with la Familia Sanchez! They are super funny and were cracking jokes the whole time so it was really great!
Something really cool… the dad is a professional scuba driver and catches all kinds of fish! So he was showing us all his spears and equipment! After that we went back to the Elder’s house and they have a Mamita which is literally a lady who lives above them and makes all their food! She had a huge dinner waiting for us! I wish we had a Mamita in Antofagasta haha!
After that we taught 2 English classes at the church! The next morning we were planning on going back home but they told use that because we don’t have paper work that says we got vaccinated they were making us stay another day which I was totally down for!
Nice not having to worry about Cockroachs for another day! We had a great lesson with one of our investigators named Alex, he actually came to church and we walked the 2 miles there with him and 2 back so that was a great opportunity to talk! We’re hopefully going to start teaching him a bunch! We have really been hammering contacts and have set up like 15 lessons a week! It’s super great practice for me! My Spanish is improving, poco a poco.
I hope y’all have a great rest of you week and I’ll see you soon!-Elder Ehrhart
