Nothing sounds better, than the sounds of running waters in the Church.

It was such a good week, filled with lessons, great contacts, baptisms, American food, sweet 70 degree weather, it is the life here in La Pradera, Chiguayante.

So many wonderful experiences, First of all I want to share an expereince that we had early in the week. On Tuesday, there we were late at night talking with people until it was time for us to return home. It was still light out, the sun goes down at about 9, and it is still light out till about 10, so it isnt too late out right. Well we walked past a few of these punk looking kids with their snap backs, smoking, with a bottle of beer on the ground as they sat on a bench, and they called us over. We went over, and they asked us, what do you guys even do all day. Ha, well after 5 or 7 minuted we had taught them a little about Jesus, the straght and narrow path, and our destinies. Well it was one of the more interesting moments this wek as well. Two of the guys just laughed. One of them just sat there staring at the floor not saying anything, Well we just started to walk away since we figured they just wanted to mess with us because they were bored. As we started walking away, the one boy who was looking at the ground got up, threw his cig away and left his beer and started to follow us. Well in short we visited him then and there, he lived close and he told us about how his father was alcoholic and he did not want to end up like him. We shared a little about the atonement, and we are going to visit him again tomorrow.

Another great experience that we had was with one of the less actives that we have. I will share that one later because now it is time to go!

BAPTISMS THIS WEEK TOO!

Great quote that I got from another missionary! 

"You can count the number of seeds in an apple but not the number of apples in a seed."



Love you all,
Elder Siaosi!
