¡Hola Familia! How are you guys doing?  I am doing great here in Chile!

This week was really cool, our convert Shessi bore her testimony of the Church and it was really powerful.  She said after her baptism she posted a picture of her baptism and said I finally did it I got baptised.  Then people began to comment and asked which church?  Then she explained how she had been listening to the missionaries and got baptized.  Everyone began to post negative comments about the Morman church and she began to cry.  She prayed and asked why, what did she do wrong... Then she felt a gentle hand touch her shoulder, and she looked back but no one was there.  She said she never had an experiance like that and she knows that God is watching over her.  

 I don`t have a lot of time, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love you guys!  I am doing really well here in Mejillones!  The weather is cold now, but I bought a really cheap jacket thing that works really well.  

P.S. I have a question, are the spinner toy things popular in the USA as well?  Because they are a really big new thing here in Chile!  Anyways talk to you next week CHAU!

Love,

     Elder Hirschi

Answers:

1. Have you made it over to see the ocean yet?  If you go sometime you should take a picture and send us.

 I have been, I might try to send you a picture of us skipping rocks from P-Day if I have time!

2. Did you get a package recently with shaving cream in it?  Is there anything else you might need?

HAHA actaully yes, it was pretty funny too.  Because I ran out of shaving cream right when I got to Mejillones, and I had kept taking some from one of the Elders.  It`s kind of a joke we had going for a while, then finally last week I decided I would just go buy my own after all this time taking from him.  So I bought a really big one that would last a while.  Then within a few days I got the package from home that had shaving cream in it haha.

3. What kinds of automobiles have you seen there most? Trucks, SUVs, cars?

Lots of cars, but lots of people just take buses around the city.

4. Do most people there have cell phones and or internet service?

Almost everyone has a cell phone, with internet service.  Lots of people play Clash Royale (Tell Slade haha)

5. We just took a trip to Salt Lake and saw several huge flags flying by the freeway.  Do they fly the Chile flag there much? 

Yeah they have lots of Chilean flags, and they have a reallllly big one in Antofagasta.

6. How many days of the week do you eat in members homes and do your investigators ever feed you?

We pretty much eat all the time in the members homes, the investigators never feed us, but they give us food while we are teaching sometimes.

7.How are your investigators doing?   How are the missionaries in your apartment with you doing? 

We had a struggle with the investigators this week, but don`t worry there is always next week!  Also the other Elders are doing really well
