One Year This Week


This week, on July 11, I will have been a missionary for one year. It's crazy how fast it seems like it's flying. My companion, Elder Flores goes home in three weeks, so I'm sure he can tell you about time flying. 

Well this week we received yet another surprise... on Friday at midnight, President called to inform us that the other two missionaries in Batuco would be changed to Santiago. So Elder Guzman left on Saturday, and we worked in a trio with Elder Beeson so he could show us the sector until today. We dropped him off in Santiago today. This means that we are now responsable for the whole branch, instead of half of it, at least for three weeks. 

On Saturday we ate hot wings with the Christensen family. The dad is from Arizona, and he teaches English here. So they invited us to lunch for the 4th of july... even though it was the 6th. But it was probably the coldest 4th of July of my life. Instead of fireworks, we had a fire in the chimney.... because it is very cold here right now. 

Until next week
Elder Garrett
