Anyway, thanks for the update. I usually jsut forget to send photos, that's all. I've sent the photo from my 2nd baptism of an lady named Isabel, and my second companion, Elder Cuenca. 

I'm now on my third, Elder Untch, who I took a quick photo with too. I'm in my second sector, called Conchalí 10. 

Also, There are so many haitians here and they just let us in to talk. We get a lot of new investigators, but also they seldom progress here.

Much Love,

Elder MacGregor

As for my use of persoanl money, I converted all of the 200 dollars I took in cash into chilean pesos. I don't use it for much, and I actually still haven't gotten around to calling for permission to use my debit card. I really just buy the zone souvenirs that they make for us. I have 1 at the moment and am getting one next week. One was a bandanna for about 5 bucks and this upcoming one is a soccer jersey with my name, and a number for about 15 bucks. I chose 0 because of the same reason as Damian Lillard (Keegan can tell you about him) and also because I have 0 soccer ability.

This week we had to watch some clips about missionary safety. If you want to watch them (new missionaries have to watch them with their parents before they leave) they are on the full time missionary portal,. They're weird because it tries to be all jokey and then at the end they share a "Let's Get Real" where they mention a missionary who had consequences of not following the rules mentioned in the episode. The tune shifts so hard that it gives you whiplash.

Also this ward I'm in I will probably be in for the next 2 to 3 months, so that will be great. You'll maybe see me in the same house twice, since I'm still in my first ward

We have our own washing machine but we hang dry. Some of my shirts are stained yellow from sweat and I think I need to use clorox on them, any tips on how to do it and not absolutely destroy my clothes? 

Love you, going to talk to Ian now XOXOXXOXOXOXOX

are the 2 Elders coming to your stake conference general Authorities or are they Area Seventies. I was looking over an old liahona that we have in the house (We have every single one for about 30 years worth on the liahona). Did you know that Elder Suares and Elder Stevenson were in the same area presidency for AFRICA during 2011?

I had a baptism this week, and the sacrament after when we confiormed her has been the biggest experience with the hoily ghost so far.

Since high school, I do really think I've changed. Things do feel different and I do feel bad about some things I did in high school (like having such a short temper, and being really prideful. There's a new missionary who had a semester in college, but graduated the same year I did. And Oh my goodness he is super prideful about things.) I don't know how people dealt with me. I sucked, man. Kind of hated myself too at the time, if I remember correctly. Not suicidal levels, but close.

I do remember the crater lake trip. We did one as a family when I was between 6 and 9, there is an Ian Show video we took during the trip.  I brag about the Oregon wilderness sometimes to the Utah missionaries, since I have some camping done, and at least 5 through eastern Oregon to go to Idaho, and 1 to the south I did to get to california with my firends.

I do think rooming with Elliot would be fun. I'll have to try his tomato bisque. Is that still the only thing he makes to eat? Ask Janamaire.

I want to say I learned a native language during my mission in Chile, it's called (wait for it) Haitian Creole. I'm sure that'll get a laugh or two. Do mention I'm with a latino comp, my spanish is coming great but I'm nowhere near perfect, and we are basically in the center of the city. Lots of apartments and street contacts.

Wow! Sounds like the weather is colder than usual, lasting all the way to March.

Sounds like Keegan had fun. I never have been snowboarding or skiing, so he's got that on me.

For earthquakes, I've felt two, both in the apartment that's 23 stories up. It's fun watching the buildings sway. 

I don't really know what prepared me the most. I would say that I was prepped to share the gospel but not as much to live like a normal person. Or, in other words, I already knew the order of the first 3 lessons, and some of PMG, but as for cooking I still just by lots of candy at times and eat itin 3 days.

For testimony meeting we have a good 130 members, so I never have to speak, but we give testimony when we enter a ward and when we leave the ward too, so about 1 every 6 weeks I think, sometimes less.

As for people who are like at home, I have an investigator named J----(not the one I mentioned last week) who is JUST like my government teacher Ms. Mowry, right down to being a storng catholic. She's an investigator because her daughter C----- and her granddaughter I---- have dates of baptism.

Life's been great here, having a Latin comp is fun until he sleeps in and wants to stay up late. We have a si o si baptism this week, so it's great. A 55 year old woman, maybe older, who has a 31 year old son who just spends all day at the computer because he broke his knee and now is growing weed because it's legal here in Chile. For service we cleaned out his closet and about half the stuff had to do with drugs, half with electronics. Definitely the strongest warning I've had against spending too much time on electronics after I get back home. 

Love you, XOXXOXOXXO
