Chile ~week 9

okay some things i forgot to say last week is that our mission president isnt president bluth, he got sick and had to go home early, so right now we have a new mission president from here in chile for a few months. last week we found out our trainer by sitting on balloons that had their name inside. all the missionaries in my mission, the majority of them are gringos, which is pretty cool, i thought thered be mostly latins. we have a really big house for missionaries, so its always super cold at night, we can see our breath. i was a little sick last week and am still recovering, its just a cold so i think its because of how cold it is  here. we go on splits with our branch here, we have some cool members, but our branch is huge, we have a few thousand members, but only like 100 show up.. members feed us lunch every week and theyre big lunches.. so im always full, but were not allowed to eat with the members. the houses here are weird, everyone has nice phones and tv´s but their houses look poor. we have to have fireplaces or gas stoves to keep out house warm. 

okay now this week,

it was super cool, on th 17th whatever day that is, we had a little earth quake, it only lasted like 5or 10 seconds! but it was super cool, it was rated a 5.4, it shook our whole house! im finding theres a lot of missionaries from AZ in my mission, ive already met at least 3 or 4, a few days ago we prayed to see which street we go down. we didnt reeally know, my companion felt inspired to go down this small street, at the end there was this huge white dog that looked like a polar bear, it was huge and scary. it ran out of the garage and was coming after us, i booked it.. my companion stayed there and was trying to block the bites and jabs with his bag... after what felt like forever but was probably just a few seconds the owner came out and saved us! phew! i was so scared, we are both antsy with dogs now, they just dont like us, sometimes they gorlw and bark at us and chase us, idk why its really annoying, i dont like dogs as much as i did before.we have 2 investigators who agreed to be baptized but we still need to teach them, my companion does most the teaching, because its still hard for me to understand chilen spanish, i feel like i can speak okay, its just dificult to undeerstand them. but everybody says my spanish is good so far for only 2 weeks.. well nothing else really exciting happened this week! except that a random dog appreaed in our back yard and then disappreared, i got a picture of it. but yeah, we went contacting and knocking doors a lot, i did inter cambios again and went to lebu.. today for lunch i ate a sweet hamburger thing, its chilean and i forgot wht theyre called though.but yeah thats it! sorry for the spelling mistakes, the key boards here are terrible! well everyone have a good week!
