Courtney's Week #50

Well, aqui estamos. This week has been pretty good. Funny story, so here in Chile, usually your first Sunday in a new barrio they have you bare your testimony. Well, this would have been Hermana Escobar´s
first Sunday, but we had intercambios and so she was in Santiago for two days and I was here with another Hermana. The bishopric didn´t know that this other Hermana was just visiting so they introduced her
and had her bare her testimony as the new misionera. It was pretty funny, next Sunday Hermana Escobar will be saying Hello and Goodbye because she goes home Monday.

So there are 20 Hermanas in the mission right now, but I have only been compañeras with 5 of them, the others have gone home and two more go home next week.

So my sector contains two parts the first part is here in the old part of the city where all the old people live and the other part is out in the country, we pretty much use bikes everyday, but sometimes we walk
or take the microbus, just depends. If you look on lds.org on the maps, my ward is Primer Crucero, the limits start at the calle Chacabuco y Chacay, but then my sector follows Calle Larga and the
Calletera almost until you reach the next city of Esmaralda. It´s huge. Before there were two sets of Elders here, but now its just us. We have lots of work to do, but the ward is really weak and so its a
really hard to get investigators to progress because the members aren´t very nice and make really bad 1st, 2nd, and 3rd impressions. So it´s really hard to get people to feel the spirit in church--I can´t
even feel the spirit sometimes!

So that is my sector, I really love this sector there are people here that are so awesome, but I guess we just need to try a little bit harder to get the ward members to be nicer to each other and to the new comers.

Well, love you all! Cuidense!
