I actually just barely ate my first completo (hot dog). Loved it haha. It was the first time we have eaten anything that wasn't from a members house. But it wasn´t in a sketchy place so its all good. I love the food and haven´t gotten sick yet.
Ok so here goes. I loved the CCM. It was an amazing experience and I learned a ton!!! I loved my companion, although it was sometimes hard to get him to work a ton. But I can say that he is one of my best friends! It was hard since he knew absolutely no English, but he was very patient with me.
The Sunday before I left we had a pretty cool experience. There was a Christmas concert right next to the MTC and Elder David Archuleta was the guest singer! It was amazing!
As much as I loved the CCM I love the field more! Yes I am in Olmue Chile. Yes lots of people have pools because it is hot and never rains here. No we do not have a pool. We live in the poor part of town. My companion's name is Elder Hormaechea and he is from Argentina and speaks very little English, but we get along well and I really love working with him! He is an amazing trainer.
But as I was about to say, we kinda live in the hills. There are some people that have a decent amount of money, but there are a lot of very poor people. I don´t know if you can find pictures online or not of houses that are just on the sides of hills, but thats what our area is like. The streets are mostly dirt roads without names, and the houses don´t always have addresses. That kinda gives you an idea of what is like.
But I LOVE it here! There are some great members! There are about 80 members who attend, and quite a few inactive members. We have 2 baptismal dates!! Both for the 5th of January :) I got to challenge Lorena to be baptized! The other is Maricel.
We have pretty much only female investigators. It is hard to teach dads because they never seem to be around. We are working on finding families, but it is pretty difficult.
Overall our first week was very successful though.
