You are just leaving a HOT summer, and we are just heading into summer. I think I am ready, because I didn´t like the cold nights of winter very much. But it is time to take out the sunscreen and prepare to sweat a lot more. At least we have bikes, and can cool off a little bit with the cool breeze. Today for Pday we played a lot of games in the chappel, like soccer, thompson ball, and zombies. Then we ate a delecious peruvian lunch that Elder Nano and Elder Fernandez Davila prepared for us. We have been working a lot with some new investigators we have, trying to teach them the first lessons and pray to know the truth. We are also starting them out on the Book of Mormon. We have like 3 families we have been teaching reacently, but we have to travel like 40 minutes on bike to get to them, but they are really cool and the best part is they have never seen missionaries before. They are a lot more receptive and not as cold as the people closer to where we live. This is because they live in a little isolated farmers community outside of san bernardo, or just a little out of santiago. We had a great zone conference monday, about trying new things and not giving up to achive success. We have to keep working 150% if we want success, and become the perfect missionary. There is never really a break in missionary work, and I am greatful for that. Last night we went to a lesson with members, and found out that the daughter tried commiting suicide a few days ago, that was really sad for her dad, who reacently lost his wife a couple of months ago. We tried to give the comfort we could, even though it was a hard lesson. Thank you for everything you all do, and pray for the people here in Quimey. I love you all, and love all the updates you sent me. Elder Chandler
