!Hola Familia¡  This week was a pretty good one!  We had General Conference, which was really cool to hear from the prophet and learn what we should be doing.  I heard a lot about the atonement in Saturday and I heard a lot about following Christ in the Sunday conference.  Oh also we got to be in the "Gringo Room" which is a room that had conference in English, and we got to bring lots of food and snacks!  It was really cool to hear it in English, and to learn about the new temples and things that are going on in the Church.  Anyways I hope that all of you learned from and listened to what the prophets had to say.  It´s very important to pay attention in Conference because it´s like if the Lord was talking to you. Wouldn´t you stop everything to listen to the Lord?

Anyways something crazy happened this week!  Elder Retuta and I were walking behind a high school student who was on her phone.  When she started crossing the street without looking, and she got hit by a car.  I was in shock about what had just happened, I shouted to my comp who had the phone, "CALL 911!"  Which pretty soon after I realized would be completely pointless because we are in Chile...  Luckily someone got down by her and told her to stay calm until the police arrived.  Then the man that hit the girl called the police and they showed up.  Elder Retuta and I actually had to leave, because we had to be somewhere, but I felt so bad to just leave the girl without doing anything.  I felt like I just stood there and watched and then left without even trying to help.  I know she is going to be ok and luckily it was right by the hospital, but it was just crazy to see because the car was actually going really fast, and the girl was just looking at her phone when she got hit.

Anyways on a more happy note, we have been finding lots of people that listening to our message.  I hope that we can teach with the spirit so that they will realize how important it is to accept the gospel.  Anyways thanks for all the love and support and be careful to listen to the spirit.  Especially in the street with cars I don´t want any of you to get hurt (especially because I heard Slade is about to be taking drivers ed class) haha.  No but really I love you all. Thanks for being awesome examples for me.  

Love,

       Elder Hirschi
