We had the stake activity saturday, which means we ate good, got to watch each ward dance a traditional cueca dance, and chill with the stake members. It was a great activity, and we finished it off with a giant empananda de pino which was to die for. Our phone was out of commision for about a week, and we just got it fixed yesterday, which was a relief. Not having a cell phone makes the missionary work a lot harder.The Soto family are progressing nicely, and are practically active; they jsut need a calling the the ward. The problem is with their son, Javier, who just plays video games all day and doesn´t want to go to church or listen to us. The Fica family feel like the word isn´t very welcoming, and they don´t have friends in the ward, but Martha goes to church every week with her daughter. Those problems make it a little dificult for them though. Marco and Gledys are doing really well, especially Gledys who assists every sunday and is definitaly the example for her family. She is dilligently working to help her family grow in faith, which can be a little difficult when her daughter and husband have their doubts at times. Her 18 year old daughter isn´t a member but she convinced her to go to church with her the whole month of September. Amanda ran over her cat, so yesterday and sunday we helped remove bandages from the leg wound, clean the wound, and re-dress it. It is service for Amanda which she can´t do herself, but it´s a little sickening and grotesque. Today we went bowling!!! I won both games we played. We also played pool, but I could use a little more practice there. It was Really Fun. Tomorrow we are in the house all day due to the 11 of september, which I´ve heard that there is a lot of violence on the streets. We have to enter the house early today, right after internet for the same reason. Thats a good wrapup of my week, I am having a great time and killing it on my sweet bike. I love you all, Elder Chandler.
