2 Cambios down in Chile!

Hello Everyone!

   Well to start off, it sure was great getting to talk to all of you on Christmas. Really was a great experience (and I'm not "trunky" about it either, so thats good haha). So now that Christmas is over now we get to celebrate new years! So to start off cambios (transfers in english) were today, and the good news is that none of us are moving! So that's pretty good.
   So this week was pretty alright, had its ups and downs. So on Tuesday we had the activity we set up. It turned out not too shabby. A decent amount of people came and they enjoyed it I think.
   So then on Wednesday we went to the local hospital and sang Christmas Carols to the people there for a couple hours. That was a neat experience, but unfortunately Elder Jorgensen felt pretty sick, so after that we went back to the house. We went to our neighbors house (recent converts) to get some ideas as to how he could feel better. So they gave him this drink, which had lemon juice, water, and bicarbonate in it. Not 20 seconds after he drank it he was throwing up in the bathroom. It was actually pretty funny. Then they put cut up potatoes with salt on them to make his temperature go down. Crazy chileans, haha.
   So then on the 24th we went and sang to all of our investigators for 4 hours straight, then we had our Christmas dinner at a members house, a big asado (barbeque) which was delicious and a lot of fun. Then on the 25th we talked on the telephone!
   Then Saturday and Sunday were pretty normal. Sunday we had the confirmations for the 2 people who were baptized, I got to give the comfirmation to 1. (I messed up a few times on the prayer, ugh). Anyways, so thats what happened. As far as our investigators are going...
   So a lot of our investigators had gone out of town for christmas. We did get to teach Felipe once, and Carolina too. The lesson we taught with Carolina was really good, she talked to us about how before we came she couldn't forgive someone for what they had done, but she has forgiven him since. She said she never thought she would change, but she has. It really has been a blessing to see how the gospel can change peoples lives for the better. And we're still working on finding new people.
   So thats about all I can think of at the moment. Have a fun New Years everyone! Love you all!
