Happy Halloween!

We dressed up as missionaries for this last Halloween haha.  We actually knocked on one door and said trick or treat to see if they would give us candy, but it didn`t really work haha.  It was really cool to see all the kids trick or treating though. It was actually a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.  Pretty much everyone was dressed up, but there weren`t that many decorations.    

We just got transfers!  Luckily I am still going to stay with my stepson Elder Taylor haha.  Sadly we are not going to stay with Elder Mortensen as a trio although he will still be in our apartment with us.  However his new companion is a Filipino that I met in Copiapo and Antofagasta named Elder Ramones.  He is really cool, and it is going to be cool to have him in the apartment.  Sadly Elder Laso and Elder Thacker had to leave the apartment to have space for all of us, but they just live 2 floors down so we will still see them a lot.  Also we will not have a giant sector anymore which will be nice but it also means that I won`t be able to teach Silvia anymore.

Speaking of Silvia, we had a baptism this last Saturday that went really well.  It was a lady named Silvia and she is really cool.  At first she felt scared to get baptized, but really we all knew she was ready and we could feel the spirit testifying through our lessons that she should do it.  She said yes and got baptized this last week. It was a really good service.  Now we just need to find her someone that can fellowship her a little better, because she only really knows the sister that talks to her with us.  She is going to be a strong member and I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for helping us find her and teach her.  

Thanks mom, I did get the Thanksgiving package, I didn`t know what it was so I already opened it sorry haha.  Thanks tons though, I realllly like the ties you sent me, plus lots of mine are getting slowly worn out. 

Anyways I love you all so much and I am grateful for all the support and love that you give me.  I hope you all are doing well and I will see you all in 1 year!!!

Love,

Elder Hirschi

 So there is a little kid named Matis, and he is super cool haha.  His Uncle Luis (our mission leader), taught him to laugh whenever they say Ríete which is the command form of saying laugh.  He is super cute though, and I think it`s super funny because it sounds like he is coughing haha.  So we took a video of him.
