Another week down! Things went really well with Elder Jennings this week! He has definitely liven me up and we`ve been working hard here in Calama. Still haven`t seen a lot of fruits yet but soon we should be seeing some! Definitely have found soon really cool people this week! We found a lady that literally just got married last Friday and her husband is a less active member of the church, just by talking with her in the street! Also found another lady whos husband is also a member of the church less active that has been wanting to go back to church, he got baptized like 8 years ago in Bolivia and when he moved here like 2 years ago hasn`t gone to church but wants to go to church with all his family(wife isn`t a member). Also found another dude who is really cool that wanted to go to church and everything and even had a baptism date for this Saturday but Saturday night he cut his hand open and had to go to the hospital so he couldnt go to church. Stupid Satan. Also Hamlet didn`t get baptized this week. Tuesday we went to their house to invite him to have a baptism interview because he knows everything already. He told us that he was Catholic and didn`t want to change religion even though hes been coming to our church and isnt even going to the Catholic church. He says that he confirmed his faith and everything. Kinda weird... But we`re going to keep working hard with him so that he can get baptized thats for sure! Yesterday we also had a new family come to church as well. They are all from Bolivia. They are just a ton of young adults and the mom of a couple of them. None of them are married but we can change that jaja. We`re working though so that the mom can get baptized! She could even get baptized this week! But we`re just going to keep working hard to find the chosen people that the Lord is preparing!
As a zone right now we aren`t doing so hot either this month. In these 3 weeks as a zone we only have 3 baptisms which is pretty bad. Its been a while since Ive had problems baptizing but there is always things to learn and we`re just going to keep working hard and with animo! We`re going to work hard with the zone so that we can have more success and work a lot better. I know that the Lord expects a lot more from us! `
Sunday night was also pretty cool. We went around with the Bishop and visited a lot of converts and everyone. It was fun. Nice to be able to go around in a car and not have to walk everywhere. I really like the Bishop a lot here. Sometimes hes really hard with us but I really like him. Nice guy!
Also funny story for the week(well I dont know how funny it will be for you guys especially mom). But we were just walking along going down one street and just hear yelling coming from a house then all the sudden these 2 dude just come out fighting. There were just some giant ply wood on the ground and they picked it up and started to have a fight with just these 2 huge wooden sticks(I thought I was watching Star Wars live). But one of them missed real bad and hit the floor and his stick just went flying out of his hand and the other dude just started wackin him with the other stick. But then a huge group of people form the house just came out all shouting as well and everything. But it all ended up with the popo coming and stopping everything. (dont worry we were at a distance watching everything go down). That was a fun experience this week! Welcome to Chile! Drunks and Drug addicts!
Also our water heater broke this week and we have to wait until its fixed so weve been showering with ice cold water which has been fun! Literally the water here in Calama is soooo cold because its really cold here so it`s been fun hearing the screaming coming from the showers in the morning lol!
Elder Kirk also got his new comp. His name is Elder Christensen from North Carolina. Pretty cool kid, hes nice.
Sounds like a nice relaxing week that you guys had! Good luck with all the job stuff must suck to be in limbo!
Love ya guys a ton! Have a great week!!!
Love
Elder Newkirk
