Best Mamita

What a great week coming from the great north of Chile!! Its been another good week that's for sure! A quick review of our week.. So we have these mamitas that cook lunch for us Mondays through Fridays, anyways, the mamita that we had was... lets just say ... NOTHING CLOSE to the great cooks in my family :)... so we all decided to "dump" the mamita and find a new one. HOLY CRAP it was sooo awkward..we went to talk to her face to face, and I just didn't know what to say.. it was far more awkward than dumping any girlfriend or anything like that. But there is always a happy ending to the story.. she is happy and needed a break, and we found the BEST MAMITA IN THE WORLD! her name is hermana Norma, literally an angel here on the earth! and the food is comparable to the sweet cooking of grandma Howard!! were eating well!!

Oh yeah, remember the family that we built the house for, yeah the whole family got baptized this last week! It was so cool! The opportunities of sharing the gospel sometimes are only available through the acts of service that we do.

haha We were walking in the streets with our zone after finishing our zone conference and there was this group of drunks sitting on the curb of the street. One of the guys stood up and walked towards us.. I went to shake the guys hand (I love talking to the drunks too, maybe because they are the only native people that I speak better Spanish than) and he straight up just punched me.. hahah It wasn't too hard so I just walked away laughing.. the whole zone was laughing so hard too.

Elder Garrido and I were walking down the street and we saw some punk running with a car stereo in his hands, oh yeah that was obvious what he was up too.. we didn't think much of it, until 2 minutes later came some 25 year old kid with fury in his eyes running with a FULL SIZED AXE in is hands chasing the kid! Yeah, I don't know what happened in the end, but I'm pretty confident the kid got away, I would imagine it to be pretty hard to run very fast with an axe. hehe.

I was taking a nice shower this morning and I slipped and fell on my face.. I got a hair cut.. (I wish I wouldn't have gotten a haircut from this place) where is my sister when I need her??

Chile won their soccer friendly so everyone was in a good mood. That's always a plus. Contacts are a lot easier when the team wins.. and right now Chile is in 1st place in all of south America for the world cup standings. I've come to catch to soccer bug down here. I love it!

Well this is the last week of the transfer.. so I will have a new companion by the next e mail.. I'm praying for a good one!! This is the last week in the mission for my companion Elder Garrido! 

Well Know that I love you all and I'm always thinking and praying for each and everyone of you! love you

Elder Howard
