This week was yet another crazy week. Tuesday I went
to Quillota and had an intercambio with Elder Ashcraft. There were 2
lights in the sky and everyone was standing in the street looking at them
saying they were aliens and UFOS. That was funny.
Wednesday President Kahnlein left and President
Diaz showed up. And Friday we received an exciting call. The zone
leaders called us to let us know that President Diaz said we could watch the Copa America championship game Argentina vs Chile. Chile has never won a
huge tournament like this before and it was a huge deal especially because the
tournament is here in Chile.. So we watched the game with Alvaro.
Nothing happened in the entire game and it went to penalty kicks and Chile won.
Then the entire country exploded We went outside to watch the
commotion. First there was just people with flags and vuvuzuelas running
around. Then people with drugs came out and the situation continued to
escalate. More and more people came out of nowhere. Everyone was
driving around in their cars blaring their horns and cheering. Then beer
started to fly around. Then flares started to be light. Then out of
no where appeared on the little platform in the plaza a huge 10 foot bass
drum. I don't know where they found that thing. Then we look and
around the corner comes a dump truck with the back chuck full of people and a man
on the roof with a huge flag. Then a cop got ran over and ambulances were
running all over the place nd then out of nowhere appear like 25 cops on
motorcycles start flying around and it was crazy.
As an aftermath of all this no one woke up to
go to church only about 20 people came. Ivan and his mom who was all planning to be baptized didn't come so we have to wait a couple weeks more to
baptize them. Yesterday we ae lunch in la puerta and we were waiting in la
vega for a bus to head back to Cabildo. And it started to pour
rain. We were stranded and soaked to the bone. So we did what any
reasonable man would do and we stuck our thumbs out and hitchhicked back to
Cabildo.
It was a good week and a crazy week. We have a conference
with President the 14th.
I hope you have a good week and i love you
guys!!! Read your scriptures y no dejen que se les echen la yegua.
