This week was pretty rough we didn´t get too many lessons in and our baptism fell through for the 2nd time.  We also changed Mamita (the person that cooks for us), because Mamita Gloria got work and couldn´t keep feeding us.  We changed to a different Mamita, and her name is Teressa, she is from Peru, so the food is really good.  She is really nice, and she is actually an investigator for the other Elders.

This Sunday President came to our Branch without telling us, which wasn´t the best day, because we were looking for investigators to go to church in the morning so we showed up 40 minutes late.  To make matters worse neither Elder Burnthorn or I had cut our hair in quite awhile, so we had to make sure we did it today haha.  No but really President was very nice about everything and said that we just need to make sure we do it soon and to go to church on time.  Also they came to announce the new temple that will be built in the North of Chile.

That´s right they are going to build a temple in the North of Chile!  It´s gonna make it a lot easier to get members to visit the temple and to feel the spirit.  I hope I will get to visit it before I leave, depending on how long it will take to build.  

Anyways thanks for the support and the prayers, it always makes a difference for me out here.  I can feel the blessings everyday, and I wanted to let you guys know how grateful I am to have a wonderful family.  I hope everyone is doing well and that you all can stay faithful in the gospel.

Love,

       Elder Hirschi

Answers:

1: Have you learned any interesting facts about the city of Mejillones?

 They have a curse that if anyone drinks too much milk, they will die the next day...  haha just kiddin´ I really don´t know that much about Mejillones.  They say that along time ago there was a tidal wave that hit Mejillones, but it was realllllly small when it got there so it didn´t really do any damage.

2: What is something you have learned from your mission President?

 I have learned a lot about the importance of Reading The Book Of Mormon Every Day

3: Do you have a favorite food you have ate there?

 Empanadas are really good, and they have a lot better bread than we do.

 Recently I have been a little sick, but nothing too bad!

5: Have you cooked anything at your apartment lately?

 We cooked some really good noodles with sauce, meat, and onion.  We had to cook this last week, because we didn´t have Mamita.
