1/16/2017



¡Hola mi familia fantástico!  This week has been good and bad.  We have 2-4 people that might get baptized this week, but we also had to say goodbye to Elder Court today for this combio (companion changes or transfer).  It was really hard to say goodbye, because he was such a good example and he helped me a lot.  I hope that I can see him again in my mission; he went to Antofagasta. We also had a lot of contacts with people this week, but very few of them wanted us to come back which was kind of a bummer.  I think this next week will be much better and we will have a lot more success.  

Like I said before today we have combios (companion changes or whatever it is in English).  Elder Saarelainin is getting a new companion who is going to die (die is the term they use for finish) this combio.  His name is Elder Santos and apparently he is super famous.  Because he was the assistant for a long time and he invented the word TA TA which is what all the missionaries use now to show excitement.  Anyways I`m excited to meet him and see how cool he is!  As for Elder Carter and I we are going to stay in Copiapo and finish my training.  Oh also Elder Rupe which is one of the Elder`s that just finished his training, and he is super cool just has so much animo (like excitement and energy).  He helps me a lot because he is just new and he tells me what helped him learn the most.  Anyways he is going to be training this combio which is just insane!    

Anyways I love you all and thanks again for all the support and prayers it really means a lot.  I can feel all of them so thank you so much.  I hope you all are doing well!

Love,
       Elder Hirschi

Answers:

How did transfers go?  Any new changes?

1. Transfers are going well it was a little bit of a bummer to watch Elder Court leave.  Other than that I`m just excited to meet the new member of the crew.  Elder Santos is a Latino so that will also help us to speak Spanish more.  

Have you met any new fun people lately?

2. Juan Carlos the investigator that let me borrow his rubix cubes!!  He is super cool, and really chill, like he said the other day that we can come into his house and take stuff whenever we want even if he isn`t there haha.  Obviously we can`t do that, but he is just so tranquilo (like calm and easy going).  

 Do you have headphones you can use when you email to see if the videos work?  If not I can send you some if you want me to.  Let me know.

3.  I still have the headphones that I brought, but I forgot to bring them again to email.

Should I send you an extra cord for your camera to keep in your bag so you will always have it to get the pictures off with when you email?  

4. You don`t have to lots of the other Elders bring theirs I just forget the camera sometimes.  Elder Court left and Elder Carter is going to buy a new camera today so I think they should be fine.

 Can you only read emails on your p-day?  Can you only take pictures on your p-day?

5. Sadly I can only read E-mails on P-day.

Do you teach English classes there?

6. They used to but they didn`t seem to get a lot of success from that, but the other day someone wanted to learn English and we said we can teach them sometime so we`ll have to see how that goes.

  Do we need to send you another water bottle?  Was that the cup that got stolen?  When do you think they will be back to the mission office to get your debit card? 

7. I still have my water bottle?  The cup was something else not really important.  I don`t know when they will send my debit card, but I`m sure they will keep it safe until it gets to me, and I will take good care of it.

Have you shared your photo album I made for you with anyone yet?

8. Yeah lots of people have seen the photo album you made, thanks for making it.  Also everyone thought that the tie you sent was pretty cool haha.

 How has your health been?  Is there anything that you need?

9. My health is up and down.  Some days it`s worse and some days it`s better, but I haven`t really ever been super sick.  I think I should be good I can buy pretty much everything I need thanks though
