August 24, 2009

We have asked Jeff how he likes Chile now that he has been there for several weeks:

" I do like it here :) It´s tough, I still don´t understand the greatest (although I am improving) what people say, it gets really frustrating at times. But it´s fun and I´m enjoying my time here so far."

Jeff's first companion & trainer is Elder McKay. In response to our question if whether he is doing any of the talking & teaching in their appointments Jeff said this:

"..Elder Mckay does do most of the talking, but I do teach too. Sometimes more than others. It is really nice that he is a good trainer."



More specifics about the actual town that he is in:
"Peñaflor is about a 30 min bus ride from Santiago. But thats just the zone I´m in. I´m actually in the town Padre Hurtado. It´s about 45 min bus ride away."
Reactivation is good, we spend 60% of our time on it here. Our ward is slowly getting bigger.
It´s tough though because most people have to walk to church and it can be a long ways for some.
Our zone played soccer today with some Chilenos.








They are good, ha. But we actually won, it was fun. The work is going good though. We have a baptism on my b-day, and a few more investigators. And like I said we are always working with the inactives. So, Chile is fun. I like it. It´s a lot different than the states. Life is harder here..yet everyone is way happier. I like it."
Love you!Elder DeLong
