To start off this week has been a little strange, because everyone in our house has been sick except me. Especially Elder Burhoe who hasn´t left the house in 4 days, and has felt awful. We have been in the house a lot, which is difficult when you can´t leave. We are now teaching piano and english in Quimey, which has turned out so far to help a lot to find new people to teach. Monday I did an interview in English to help a kid with his school project, and his father said that we are welcome to come back, and he is interested in learning more about the church, and will go to the piano\english classes friday. The cool thing is that he came to ´´our´´ house to ask help, he found us!! I also love my bike, it makes it so much faster and cheaper to travel. Yesterday we went to the Estancillas de Nos, which is REALY country, with people with farm animals and crops. It is so cool, and so different from the city. And the people were so receptive, we have three new families to teach. I will have to send you some pictures, it is really awesome. There are chickens walking down the street, horses and sheep. Elder Zeballos from the 70 is comming to talk to the mission. And the Fiestas Patrias are comming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Saturday we have a stake activity, with cueca dances and empenadas and asados, which means a lot of meat. I hear the families have a lot of parties, and for a week there will be asados every day in every house. MMMMMM. The bad part is that we will have less lessons, because everyone is celebrating, but we get to celebrate a little with the families we are teaching. My mouth is watering just thinking about all the food. Also, the 10th we will go home at 6 at night and not leave until the 12th. That´s because there is a lot of violence and drunks on the streets on the 11th. I think we are going to cook a little in the house that day. The 18th is chile´s independence day. Saturday we did crossfit in the chappel with the ward mission leader, which we also did the saturday before. We were so soar afterwards that it was difficult to walk, and siser Olson fell about 4 times. We have been soar the whole week, and just now are feeling a little better. We have also been recieving a lot of rain. Thats a good thing, but I am a little sick of the rain too. I don´t think I am forgetting anything. It is good to hear that you are all doing good. It is also good to hear that Jeremy is having success in Argentina. I hope some of those Columbians get baptized. I love you all, Elder Chandler
