  Hello hi how's it goin its so laaaaate, so imma make this maybe a little more short and sweet!!  We had zone conference early in the weekend which was pretty good... except that it went long so we didn't get to do interviews and we had to RUN to the bus... good times   (side note I'm currently writing this from a bus on the way to copiapo AGAIN because we have exchanges tomorrow with the hermanas here.) Also, got told to do a musical number again... on the bus ride on the way to copiapo... so had to figure that one out in like less than 12 hours haheha. A little organization would be cool but like it's fine. We sang I need thee every hour (me and my compi) and it turned out pretty good (there was a weird thing with the piano but no importa!!)  A little later in the week we had our ups and downs, like one day we found this little family who are so golden!! (And apparently they had someone over visiting until 4am, but the husband couldn't sleep because he was so exc

  ITS TOMMYS BIRTHDAY TODAY, but it doesnt reeeallly matter because she is currently living 16 hours from where im at. Welcome to this weeks letter! Chaotic and mildly entertaining as always!  A lot of my week was pretty normal and boring... but heres some highlights:  Like a week or two ago our branch president told us we should visit active members who are in leadership and in callings because theyre the ones who often get neglected or something... and that we should do so without letting anyone know. So we did that. To him   we went all the way out to his house (he lives kind of in the middle of nowhere) and didnt let him know we were coming (it was his idea!!) aaaaaand.... he wasnt home.  But, luckily he has 4 neighbors relatively close who are members, so we went and tried to visit them all (President said he would be home in like 30-45 minutes) only one of them was home... next time maybe we should let them know were coming hahaha.  But, eventually Presidente came back and we wer

  And yet I couldn't stop eating them. Idk what's up with that BUT HELLO EVERYONE and welcome to another chaotic good letter from your one and only hermana griffin...  "How's chile?" you might be thinking...  well, it's on FIRE  but like, my part isn't. Not yet anyways.  We received cambios this week... and they didn't   so I get 6 more weeks to torture hermana Sorenson. We're both excited    HEY does anyone wanna do a challenge with me??? I'm gonna read the Book of Mormon in one transfer!!! Six weeks, which FUN FACT, in Spanish it's like 100 pages longer somehow   so I'm gonna be reading 15 or 16 pages a day!!! And those of you joining me in this challenge, but in english... its only 12 pages. Easy peasy!!!  This week we climbed several mountains and that was cool. Not like for fun or anything, it's just that Vallenar is literally a valley, so like our sector is the part in the middle, but there's parts of our sector that are b

 We had a really beautiful week and I'm hoping I'll have enough ganas to write it all    Monday work hours we had a pretty normal evening, except we had two little miracles. This friend we have named Claudio is really really hard to contact. Which usually means they're not interested. And on the surface, he's not very interested. But God keeps putting us in his path, and every time we see him he tells us he's read the pamphlets we've given him. So Monday night we ran into him and he asked us for a Book of Mormon!! We haven't been able to contact him since   Then we got home, and there's like a security guy at the gate of our apartment, and he goes, "hey, I have a question..." he was super awkward about it haha "if I were to maybe ask you for a book of mormon, could you give me one?" And of course we were like, YES and we gave him a restoration pamphlet and everything. It was really tender, and we found out that the Pierces had been ta
