Hello Family

Hey guys, I don`t have a lot of time today but I am doing really well.  We had another baptism this week of a little kid named Rohit.  He is only 8 years old, but his parents aren`t members of the church.  Also his older brothers and sisters are members of the church, so his older sister named Lady, said she would take him to church every Sunday that she can.  I got to confirm him in Church yesterday and it was really cool.  He is a super cool little kid and I hope he can learn a lot growing up in the church.

This part is for dad, I totally got to touch a snake today haha.  It felt really scaly and a little slimy just like you would think.  Don`t worry there was a guy who had a snake that was harmless and he let us touch it haha.  I didn`t get to take a photo with it, because it costs 2000 Chilean pesos, that`s like 3$ for us.  It`s not that bad, but I didn`t have any money with me.

We have been working really hard this week and I hope that we can work even harder this next week.  We want to talk with the sister of John Pablo to see if the mom will let her get baptized this week as well.  I hope that you will pray for us that we may touch her heart and let her daughter be baptized.  

Anyways I love you guys tons take care and stay safe.

Love,

Elder Hirschi

Answers: 

1.Do you have any plans for Thanksgiving?  I know they don't celebrate it there but maybe you can make something from your package.

We don`t have any plans for Thanksgiving, I think I will use the stuff you gave me in the package.  Other than that we will probably just work like normal!

2. Have you been to play soccer lately?

We were going to go today, but we didn`t actually have time, because we needed to cut our hair and pull out money!  We did get to watch a movie called Spirit with the horse who gets caught by the Americans and try to tame him.

3. What is Elder Ramones like?  What does he like to do?

 He is really cool. He is teaching me Tagalog.  I got to know him before Iquique and he likes music and to play chess.  

4. Is Elder Taylor getting pretty good at speaking Spanish?  Does he like it there pretty well?

Yeah he speaks really well, but I don`t think he likes the language very much haha.  He is doing really well. Here in Iquique we are teaching lots of people.

5. Is Luis your ward mission leader?  Have any of you spoken in church in the ward there?

Oh yeah sorry if I didn`t explain.  Luis is our ward mission leader and he is really cool.  Elder Ramones had to speak in church this week but I never have.  Neither has Elder Mortensen or Elder Taylor.

We have a really cool administrator in our apartment that bought us Chinese Food that was really good
