Opening a Sector for Hermanas

So I am up here in Curico. We are opening a sector for Hermanas up here called Rauquen. We moved into the Elders' old house..... haha. You can definitely tell Elders have lived there for a long time. We walked in and there was a squirt gun nailed up to the wall. Pictures drawn on the wall with Elders' names and stuff. So funny. The bathroom is interesting, too. There's a very leaky sink so the bathroom is always wet and for 2 mornings we woke up and there was a big cockroach in the shower. SICK. There's also slugs crawling on the walls in the shower but those aren't as bad. I actually shower with the slugs in there cause I dont want to touch them haha. Pretty sick, huh? But supposedly we should be getting a new house in the next few days and the Elders will move back into their house. The Elders that were in there before us really tried to clean it up before we got there.

We are sharing a sector with 2 other Elders: Elder Doxey, who is also my District Leader, and Elder Lulla, who is brand new straight from the states. This past week has been exhausting; we got here and had to start from zero. Completely disoriented not knowing any of the streets or where anything is. Zero investigators, nada. So we have been digging through the area book trying to find some old investigators we could go try and look for again. We have done so many contacts and knocked on so many doors it's seriously insane. By the end of the day we just want to crash in our bed. The ward here is pretty legit; the building is beautiful. Church was fun. Everyone so far has been very very nice to us and super helpful. That's Chile, though. I think every sector is like that. People are just so nice here.

But anyways, the Elders in our zone came to do an invasion for us to help us find some investigators which was nice. All the Elders in our zone came to our sector to knock doors and find people; even the elders that are in our sector were helping us. So from that we should have a lot of people to find, too. It's really funny being in a zone with just Elders. There are like 22 elders and 2 sisters. Very different, but way fun too. The Elders have all been sooo nice and so helpful, always asking if we need anything. I think that's one of the reasons I feel a little less stressed is because they are helping and being there for us a lot.

The sector we are in is nice. The people so far seem pretty nice, too, and pretty receptive. We had 1 investigator that the Elders found for us to come to church. He is SO funny he says he knows what animals think like Dr Dolittle. haha He is also a singer and that was his main thing for coming to church was that he wanted to sing. He's a nice guy though; I think he will be coming back. We have met a few other people too that have been fun. I am going to go now cause we are going to go eat lunch and then go home to clean and unpack. Still haven't had time to unpack haha. Love you all, miss you, ciao
