Hello Family



¿Hola mi amorosa familia como esta?  I am doing well here in Iquique. We have found lots of new people and we are working hard to bring others unto Christ.  We found a guy named Rodrigo. He is going through a hard time with his family, but he really likes listening to our messages and he is learning a lot about God.  I hope we can get him to experience the blessings of the gospel and I invite you all to pray for him. 

We played soccer today, and I actually had a pretty good time.  The sisters have to make the goals because it`s one of the rules, but they actually did really well.  We had 3 teams that seemed pretty even to me, and we had lots of fun.  Then we started to play Frisbee because we got tired of playing soccer.

I got the year mark package, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the love and support you guys are the best!  I opened it a little early, but I just couldn`t wait, I get super excited when I get packages from home.  I actaully have some pictures, of my companion and I wearing the glasses haha.

Anyways we are doing well here in Iquique and we will keep working hard and finding souls to bring unto Christ.  I love all of you guys and I pray for all of you.  

Love,

        Elder Hirschi

Answer:

1. How is your new companion and area?

 It`s really good we are working hard and Elder Taylor is a fantastic new missionary!

2. How was the travel to get to your new area?

 We got to drive in a limo and then they took us on a cruise boat haha just kidding.  No we just went in a big bus called Turbus.

3. Are there 4 of you in your apartment?  How do you like the apartment?

 There are 4 of us in an apartment, but we are not all from the same district.

4. What does your companion like to do? What is his first name

 COOOOK!  We also like to make up funny songs and random stories in the street haha.  His first name is Lucas, and he only has 7 weeks in Chile, but he is already better at speaking and teaching than I am haha.

5. Have you seen any Halloween stuff in stores yet there?

 Yes there is a lot, in fact yesterday Rodrigo bought a Halloween mask of Anonymous.

6. Have you met any new fun people in your area?

 There are lots of cool converts that Elder Taylor and his past companion already had like Lourdes and Ivana.  The sector that we are in has lots of poor and ghetto areas, but all the people are generally nice and lots of people try to speak in English with us haha.

Anyways I love you guys and stay safe!
