Hey Hey! Well this week has been way sweet, we have been
sooooo busy but enjoying every moment, My comp is way awesome and we have
really been enjoying the mission and working hard. This week we have had to
plan some awesome things.
First... CHIMBOMBAS!!!
So what is chimbombas? Im sure your dying to know...we did a
activity yesterday for our ward that we have been planning for some good time
now called chimbombas! It is an activity in a form of a gameshow that
everything to do with it has to do with balloons, the fun of it was NO ONE knew
what chimbomba meant and everyone was super curius to what it meant...a hna
from Niceragua told us balloons in nicerague are called chimbombas so we
thought it would be a good idea for an activity, what we did we put a ton of
balloons "chimbombas" on a white board and put different game titles
inside the balloons, each game with a sweet title like chimbujando...or me
duele la chimbomba (my chimbomba hurts) haha we were having some fun with the
game titles and games.... but it went super super well!
We did so much propaganda for the activity, we were scared
that no one would come because our ward is super small....BUT people came!!!!
and it went perfectly. ha every second were popping balloons and screaming
"chimbombas!!!" definately a success. ha it was super fun to see all
people participating.
Other thing fun is we are in charge of the young mens in our
ward and with the bishop we planned an activity this morning to go out with
them to a house of the first counselor's friend in the campo, we did service
around the house (his friend wasnt member) as well as went to a field and
played BASEBALL!!!! ha it was so awesome I couldnt believe it when the 1st
counselor took out a bat and tennis balls it was way sweet, it made my week ha
it was way fun, there way of playing is a bit different but still way fun,
first time seeing baseball and playing baseball in chile, nice little Gringo
Culture for the week:) At the end of the activity with the jovenes we sung a song
to his friend and shared something short with him, the spirit was super strong
as all the young men were singing with us all together, its a privelage to work
with the young men.
Also this week has been such an awesome week of teaching,
our sector has been known to be a lot slower, but we have been having a ton of
excitement in the work and have found and taught a good amount of people this
week, we are stoked to get this place going, like I said we have a program in
mind to remind the members of their mission duty, we actually have plans to
give a "mission call of duty" to the members with a map of our ward
boundaries and make it look like a mission call, we also want to take a picture
of them and make like a plaque that we can put on the anouncement board of all
the members with mission duties (which is everyone but its a fun way of
reminding us all) we are way stoked to get this thing going.
ha something funny that happened was some missionaries in
our zone lost their cell phone on the bus and called it and it was a man that
said if you want the cell phone come to the Lider (wallmart) tomorrow at 2 with
20 bucks, ha I guess its not to funny but you dont hear that to often, our
phones arent to fancy and his price for obtaining the cellphone wasnt to high
so we will see what happens with this later... the assistants are going to pass
by....We have also had to teach a older man in our ward that is in the sector
of the hermanas misioneras because he asked if one would get married to him, he
is a recent convert and is 85 more or less, I think he just is a little
confused so we will be the ones to pass by to help him focus more on the
doctrine and spirit rather then the other feelings... ha interesting but yep!
Oh yeah our mamita is super awesome! Did I not tell you yet
that she cooks amazing? one of the best mamitas Ive had I think its a tie with
her and the mamita from puerto natales. This mamita is a cook for her living so
its super bakan. But for thanksgiving she made us a nicer meal with meat and
potato salad and a sweet cake with strawberries ha we got to do our family
tradition of saying one thing we are thankful for....ill always remember the
thanksgiving we had when we had subaru and all his asian friends come over
hahah
But hey what more can I tell you that Im working hard, and
loving my life right now, the mission is amazing and all I want to do is
declare these things that make our lives have so much purpose and happiness. I
can see the mission excitement is happening back home with you guys and it
brings me so much happiness to see that. Sharing this message and living it is
the best combination to find our testimonies and mantain them. This is the best
and only way to find peace in this life and the life after. Love you guys a ton
