Week 19: Chile and their water

2-3-14
Hola Familia y Amigos,
So we did not go into Concé today, so we are a crappy cyber internet place here in Hualpen and so it is not letting me upload photos, but don´t worry I will send all the ones from today next week.
 
So the two main photos I was going to send...
The first was from this morning when we went to the park to do our morning studies and it was the best!!!
So nice to just lay out in the sun.
The second picture was of his guy in a really construction looking outfit.  You will have to just wait and see, but it is a really weird outfit. And the first time I ever saw a guy in this outfit, I though they must have a really cool job.  Well I have realized that the job that this guy has and all the others you have to wear this dorky but kinda cool outfit is water the plants...seriously...just water the plants is all they do all day and they have to wear these really crazy full body protector yellow neon jumpsuits.  It bewilders me. I just don’t get it. I thought maybe they trim the trees and pull weeds and stuff like that too, but no they just water the plants.  Also Chile wastes so much water they seriously water everything till it is drowning in water. They even water just the dirt. I think it is because the whole country lives right along the Andes Mountains, so they have continual water runoff all year, so their water is really cheap.  All I know is that if the world ends up in a water shortage I am coming to Chile!! haha
Well not much to write this week.
Only that with the other Hermanas gone in our house, it is a lot quieter and we have been able to focus so much better.  So we have worked our bums off so hard this week and we have been lucky to get to be 30 mins early a few nights because we are just so exhausted. But we have seen the fruits of our labors and have found a family to teach this week and another man, Leonardo, who started to cry when we invited him to be baptized because he really does just want to be completely clean and change his life around and follow Christ. It was such an awesome experience.
Everyone go read Alma 26 because it is so good and probably my favorite Chapter right now.  Also we are expected to contact 140 people a week and everyone has been slacking the past few weeks, but this week Hermana Taylor and I got 202; which was probably the highest in the mission for this week!! So yeah, take that Satan.  haha
And by contacting was how we found Leonardo. He was waiting for a bus at a bus stop. Almost didn’t talk to him, but then I knew when it is the hardest and scariest to talk to someone, that is when I most need to do it.
Anyways love you all and got to go!! 
Choa,

Hermana Corbett
