Two changes with elder figueroa, and now it is time for a new companion. It was a good three months, and I am happy that he gets the chance to train, or be a father. And I am also happy to stay in Quimey. I found out yesterday that my new companion is Elder Nichols, who I know from La Bandera when I was starting the mission. Now he only has 3 months left, 2 changes. That makes me feel even older. My first gringo companion. Now there are three gringos in the house and only one latino. Go USA! I don´t know how much more time I will be here, and I have a lot of plans to to reactivate and baptise and progress the people we have and also plant new seeds here in Quimey. Lets see if I can do it, and work some miracles here. My first day with my new companion was a little crazy, but amazing. We taught two lessons from contacting. It baptism there. It was definately a miracle, a tender mercy of the Lord. We had a ward activity friday, with folklore dancing and Karaoke, but we could only stay for a little bit because we had to return home. We only saw a little dancing. The bad part is that not verwas so amazing. For the second contact we were knocking doors in between apointments, and before we could say anything to her she said, can you come in? That never happens. NEVER. Especially in the area we were contacting, which has been contacted a lot by the missionaries before. It turns out she is a member that moved there a few years ago, and hasn´t been to church in a long time. Her only son died from cancer not to long ago, and has been going through stages of depression. She realized that it is time to return, and asked where the chappel is. She was happy to know that it was so close, and said she would go sunday. We took another apointment. Her boyfriend isn´t a member, so maybe there is a future y much people went, I think because it is the 19, and people were visiting family. But a family went that we have never been able to find to teach, even though we have passed by often. My comp found them when we were on divisions and invited them to the activity, and they went!!! We started teaching them yesterday, me and elder Nichols. Today we played soccer with 2 another zones. It was fun, but we had to sub in instead of continue playing, which made it a little borring, but still fun. Elder Nichols is from San Diego, and also has a twin serving the mission, but in california. I love it here, and love all the support you give me. Take care, Elder Chandler.
