Week 86...I'm in Another World

I’m in Another World

What up friends and family!

So my first week in the coast was pretty amazing! This sector is the best sector in the whole mission. I've never dealt with a sector that's so big and has SO MANY people! I honestly hit the jackpot as far as finishing my mission out here. The ward is pretty small. The asistencia is usually around 100 but this Sunday it was like 80. It reminded me of being in Villa Sur again, but that ward was WAY small. It's a pretty amazing atmosphere... the ocean breeze is amazing, the views we have are amazing, and the people here are way more relaxed (the majority). It's ALL HILLS and when I say hills I'm talking about San Francisco bay hills that are absolutely massive and it's literally like climbing a mountain everyday. I love it! 

I also share our pension with none other than ELDER CARROLL the new missionary that's he's training Elder Bahr! Elder Carroll was in my zone in Cerrillos and he's the only other missionary from Colorado…and he's a runner! We wake up at 6 and we work out for about 40 minutes just running the hills of San Antonio. He'll probably be here until I go home... which means I'll come home in decent shape. It's a miracle from the heavens that he just happens to be in the same pension as me! 

Elder Montero is an awesome missionary. He works super hard and he's got the work ethic and cleanliness down pat! We're going to work well together. The only problem is that we're both really serious and so one of us has to loosen up a bit or it's just going to be stress overload. He's a great guy though and we get along great! 

We have some fechas here already! Thomas, Nicole, Josefa, and Rolando! Thomas and Nicole actually passed their baptismal interview but we decided not to baptize them because ... they need a little more time.

All is well! The zone is huge! I love the missionaries! September is around the corner and that means 18th is close! Día de Independencia here in Chile! It's going to be awesome to celebrate out here on the coast! 

Love all of you a ton! Keep rocking it in school and keep me updated on BYU and Vista XC!!! Football is around the corner too... GO COUGARS! 

Just out here grinding away! Vamos a bautizar!
