Hey family I am doing good!  We had a pretty solid week, and we got the transfers today.  It looks like they are going to be shutting down Mejillones for good... .  Just Kidding HAHA, no we are all going to stay again in Mejillones.  I thought I was going to be leaving for sure, but luckily I´m staying here!  Also Elder McKinlay is going to be training TA TA!  That´s going to be cool to have a greenie in the apartment, because I´ve never been in one with a greenie (besides when I was a greenie).  

This week some dude asked us to come into his house during the night.  He said that his house has a very strange vibe and he keeps seeing a huge black figure in his house.  We went in and said a prayer and all of a sudden the wind started to blow even harder.  Yeah I will admit I got a little scared at that point, especially because he had his tv on in the background with the white background sound thing.  Then we left and nothing really happened, but I really don´t want to go back to that house again.  Anyways the dude inside said he wants to move to a different house because he doesn´t like what it is.  

Anyways other than that the other elders had a baptism that went really well.  We also went and saw lots of the Catholic dances, which were actaully suprisingly cool.  Although they did have a huge statue of the Virgin that they were carrying.  We had a cool activity for the primary with mammita Gloria.  We also took some funny photos at the muesem.  Anyways that´s pretty much all that happened this week.  Take care everyone and keep praying and reading the scriptures.  

Love,

       Elder Hirschi
