Hey family! How are you guys?!
Yep Elder
H is heading home in about two weeks. He is a good guy and I like being around
him, not to mention we are both from Idaho. ;) Ha-ha we have a little bit of
pride in the office about that. I was thinking about sending stuff home with
him to give to you guys but I think it would be just a hassle so I will get a
package together sometime. I am sad that Elder M is heading out of the
office. He is such a good friend but I am glad that we were in the office for
one change together. He is a great guy and example. I don’t know if I can tell
you who the new elders are but being in the office I already know the changes
and stuff. Everyone asks us to tell them and it gets kind of annoying. I just
tell them I can’t tell them.
So it sounds like you guys had a
great week. I am serious I cannot believe how fast the weeks are going. They
pass like it was just an hour or so... but I have been enjoying every minute of
it. It has been a lot of fun this first change here in the office and I can’t
believe that the first change is already over. We will be going up to Santiago
this next week to drop off Elder L at the airport, my second comp in the field.
It has been fun to see him since and I consider him a good friend. So time just
keeps cruising along. We have to make the most of it.
Q&A

1. So this week has just been busy
as usual. We had to clean up a few houses to give back to their owners this
week. Elder M and Elder J went with me and Elder O to Talca to help
paint a house. It took the whole day to paint the house but it turned out well
and that house is good to go! We had to take a few smaller things out of other
houses to get them ready too. Also we took President Warne’s car to get maintenance
this week which was fun. He has a 2014 Ford Explorer. It is a nice car and
rides really smooth. I drove it a little bit but I was just a little paranoid
of crashing. That was about it for this week, just working, trying to organize
all of the comissary stuff here in the office so that the job is easier for the
future comissaries. This week was also the first week that I have been to McDonald’s
here in Chile! It was pretty tasty but just not the same as the states. I have
realized that we have life so good in the states with so many options and
varieties. Also this morning we had breakfast at the Warne's house for Elder M
and H. We had this really good ham, egg, cheese crepe things. I like
them! =) The president and sister Warne are great people. Later we went to a
hill and hiked. I saw some dirt bikes and I really just wanted to go dirt
biking. I miss riding in the mountains. But it is alright. I will be able to do
that in about a year =) ha-ha

2. Transfers didn’t affect me. I
will be here until December in the office. It is usually a six month
assignment. Elder H is going home in two weeks and Elder M is going
to Pichilemu, a beach sector. He is happy about that. We will have a new
secretary and assistant.

3. The best thing about being in the
office... I just like the perks that we have, like we have a car, we do special
assignments for the president and for the mission. Instead of working by hours
we work by tasks. I don’t know I just really like it and I really like the
interaction that we have with the other four office elders. That has been one
of the funnest parts. I don’t remember the last time I have frowned =) Oh and
another thing is that we got our apartment back last night. The sister
missionaries moved back to their place because everything is fixed up =) so
that is nice to have our own beds and stuff again! =)
Well that is it for this week and
also I will include a few pics. Time just keeps on rolling along but I am
loving the mission and so glad that I made the decision to serve the Lord. It
really has been the most rewarding decision I have made in terms of my
salvation and gospel knowledge and testimony in the Savior Jesus Christ. I just
know that it is possible to have a deep abiding testimony in Him, we just have
to take the proper steps, which comes by following His gospel, reading
scriptures, listening to talks, doing uplifting activities and so on. I hope
that you guys have a great week and that you can all do things to deepen your
testimony and improve day by day. I love you so much and I pray for you every
day! Talk to you next week =)
Love always,
Elder Tegan Hall
