Hola Todos
We have
been working hard and finding a lot of people to talk to, and we are seeing
miracles everyday. We are still having trouble finding Pablo, but we heard that
he got home on Saturday night, so we hope to talk with him soon! And our other
investigator Ramona, had to take care of her mother, who fell and broke her
hip. So we did a lot of finding this week and had a lot of cool experiences and
found a lot of new people to teach. I love it when we get to teach new
investigators, because usually we get to share the restoration, and every time
we share the first vision, the spirit is there, and it’s always so peaceful.
That is awesome how I got a shout out at Stake Conference!
--even if it is by error. Poor President Walker, there must be a lot of stress
to remember all the missionaries, especially now.
I’m
finally getting to a place where I understand the majority of the things that
people are saying to me, and I can usually respond to their question. I do have
a problem with the words cansado, and casado, one means tired, and the other
means married. So the question "Are you tired?" It gets a lot more
personal when you don’t say it right. But I’m learning.
I’m actually learning how to cook. I can now make pizza,
pancakes, and homemade noodles without recipes, so there you go! I also tried a
little bit of matté this week. We can’t drink it with members, but we can drink
it in the pension if it’s in tea bags. It’s a comforting taste, but I have to
put a lot of sugar in it in order to enjoy it. Elder
Cobb and I also tried to make Empanadas this week for lunch. We just wanted to
make about 10, but with our inexperience, we ended up making about 42. They
were actually really good though, and we were able to snack on them for a long
time.

I’m doing pretty well. Elder Cobb is awesome and is a
lot like Danny, which is nice, and we get along well. I’m super tired all of
the time, but I’m kinda getting used to it. And we’re even starting to run in
the morning, which is awesome, I love it.

Today is supposed to be Carnival. You know that big holiday
with all the colors and everything? Well that’s only in Brazil . Here, it’s more of the same
as every other holiday. Lots of beer and music, and I’m sure tomorrow,
everyone’s going to sleep in all day with a hang over. But that’s how it is.
Overall,
things are good. We are enjoying life here en el campo. We sometimes have to
bike through cow herds and usually pass a dead dog or two every day, but as
smelly as that is, we are all good. Hope all of you are at home are enjoying
life!
Have a
good week!
With
love,
Elder
Chipman
