Mom don't worry about a birthday package. It's probably in Pto. Montt right
now. We just have to ask the Zone Leaders to send it in bus so that we can get
it. But it's all good if there isn't anything to open. That's not what a
birthday is all about ha. So don't worry mom. We are doing really well. We have
had a good week. We were able to teach 2 lessons to an investigator. We had
about 11 people in church and we had 0 investigators in church haha. But it's
all good. We are going to work this week to get some investigators in church. We
have a couple or 1 that is really good. I haven't taught him yet but we just
need to find him. We couldn't pass by because we both had alittle bit of a cold.
He didn't want his son to catch it. So we haven't been able to go. But we are
going to pass by now. We are going to go today. Hopefully it's the day.. But we
are doing well. We will get him. We were able to do some service. We painted a
room upstairs to some ladies' house and helped them out a little bit with that.
The thing is that the house is really old haha. So I knelt down and almost fell
to the 1st floor. A wood plank thing broke and I fell a little bit nothing big.
It was really more funny than anything. She told me not to worry about it and
that the house is really old so things happen like that. She said that they are
still in the process of fixing everything. So that was good that she wasn't mad
ha. But just things like that is what we do here. We walk in the street offer
service. But what Pres. Rappleye wants is that we can make friends with the
people and then bring up the Gospel. That is what we are trying to do. But yea
that was our big service for the week. And actually they own a restraunt on the
first floor. There are only a couple places to eat out here but thats ok. I
think we might go eat later. We are pretty full now. The mamita gave us a bunch
of food. She is really good. She is a nice lady. She likes to pick fights with
us as jokes so it's always fun at lunch. But anyway we don't just only serve. We
look for oppurtinities to teach but sometimes they don't come like we want the
to is all. But it's ok. It will progress, the work. Church went well. It was 2
hours like always haha. But a less active member that we are working with came.
Actually he owns this internet place where we are at. But he is a good guy. So
we got that he came for a little bit. It was good to see him. No, Luckly I
didn't have to speak again. But I have an assaignment. I have to teach 2 of the
4 weeks of Sunday School. Since we don't have Priesthood or Relief Society, My
companion will teach 2 weeks of Gospel Doctrine and I will teach 2 weeks of The
Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow. So that is what is
going on here in the Branch. We are also having an activity here this Friday. We
are excited for that. We are also still planning what we are going to do haha.
But it will come. I am also excited for General Conference that comes very very
soon. We are hoping to see it in the church. We are trying to borrow a projector
to use one of my sheets as a background and then we are going to us the Wi-Fi of
the plaza that is close. I think that we can use it from where we live. So
hopefully everything goes well with that. But the other lady who lives in the
building is not a member. She is just a friend of the lady who we rent from. But
she is moving out in April and the whole house will be ours to use. That is the
good thing. I'm excited for that. It will be a whole lot bigger. It is a bigg
house but right now we use a room for the Sacrament room. That is it for church.
One little room. The rest of it is our house and her house. So that will be
good.
Sounds awesome the activity in YW that you guys had mom. That would be
really awesome. It would have been fun to be able to do it and see it. I'm glad
that you were able to do it. Sounds like the girls learned a lot and so did
everybody else. Not only the girls but the participents in everything.
Dad, thanks for your letter that you sent me. It is awesome to hear about
your mission experiences. I don't know why I never asked to hear about them
before I left. I would love to hear about them. It is also good to see that we
have passed some of the same stuff in the mission even though the countries are
so far away from each other. Thanks for your love dad and support as your son.
I'm glad to have you and mom. Have a great week. Love ya tons.
Hopefully we will have a good week this week. And a good day of course. But
that is pretty much everything that is happening here in Chaitén. We are doing
well. We are better from our colds and everything. So that is the good thing. We
are going to keep going with what we are doing and helping the people here in
this sector. I hope that you guys have a great day and a great week. I can't
wait to talk to you next week. Hopefully everything goes well and that you all
have great blessings in store. Until next week. Love you all. Your friend.
Un abrazo,
Elder Tyler Jolley
