Elder MacGregor had 2 short letters....


Thanks for the update! 
I'm onweek 11 of 12 with a trainer. We'll probably have changes in 2 weeks so that's fun. I'll probably stay in this sector though.
As for preparation I don't know. It's a big topic and I will most definitely be giving some advice on the return talk. In reality, you enter the field the exact same as you were at home. So, make good decisions and just be a nice person and you'll be fine. Just actually have a testimony and be worthy, and be humble enough to receive counsel, and all will fall into place. I don't know what I would have done differently. Probably gone out to lunch with you even when I wasn't hungry or whatnot.
I do feel prepared and did since the beginning. 
Love you, keep pressing on!

XOXOXX 

I reaslized how weird in number the Holidays are here in Chile. We really only have Easter, new year's, christmas and the Purge. I'm only half kidding. Because the dictorship of Pinochet was overthrown on September 11, while the US mourns Chile celebrates with riots and crazineess. As a result, the 11th and the 18th I will have to go our apartment home early!
That photo Mrs. Fenner took of Mt Hood is pretty neat. I'm downloading it to see if I can view it on the camera.
Teaching is doing great. We have one investigaor that can get baptized on the 2nd of February, and we are pushing for some others too. The only hard thing is trying to get them to church. That's our blocker right now.
We actually had inspections for our apartment this week, and it is pretty clean!
Love you, keep striving to meet with the Lord and he will help you!

This week Elder MacGregor mostly answered family questions, but here are tidbits of things he shared: 

In one of our investigators houses the news was playing a segment about Chilean fencing and I was so hard to look away. I am doing footwork exercises for my exercise every morning, so you know I'm going to have foot mastery when I get back.

Hopefully Keegan is feeling better about basketball. I am definitely watching his freshman games after I get back and have that 3 month break for work and family.

My favorite email this week is the dad asking me to resend an email and then saying its fine. Good chuckle out of that one.

The picture of ian’s sliced open finger looked yucky. Ouch, what happened? AND IS THAT A GIRL I DON'T KNOW HOLDING IT?

I told my comp about the near 15$ wage here in OR and he freaked out. There a 10$ wage is considered good. Haha, we got money! And no sales tax!
