Hey whats up. So first highlight of the week.  Thursday  did divisions with Elder Franco and that night he buzzed my head. I hope you like the pictures;) It was pretty fun doing it though it just looks a little weird.  Another cool thing, today I cooked a turkey (pictures included as well). We bought a frozen turkey and today for p-day we went to some other missionaries house in our district and cooked the turkey and ate french toast and made root beer floats with coke instead of rootbeer.   the package still hasn't´t gotten here but I will let you know when it does.  with my new hair the chileans think I look ugly but all the haitians think I look so much better.  Some of the thinks that I am grateful for right now Clean streets grass  clean air  air conditioning  snow  America  book of mormon the bible dictionary dish washer water hambergers(American food) my mom ;) Thanks for everything,I love you Love Elder Austin

Hi hows it going. Losing Marco means that we haven´t talked or seen him in like 3 weeks he doesn't´t answer his phone or his house. Junior is doing good still his family will be getting here in a little more than a week. No he doesn't´t really have a good job but no haitian really has a good job. But at least he saved up enough money to pay for the plane tickets. Elder Rodruiguez has like 19 months in the mission and we live in a house. We had to rearrange everything so we could fit in bed in. We don´t know how long the trio will last. This week we got a kind of mini missionary. His name is Elian and he is from the ward. He can´t sleep in the house with us but in the morning he comes and studies with us and eats lunch with us and then goes out with one of us during the day so we can split up and have two companionships. I went out with him yesterday. he is 20 and last year he started his mission papers and then kind of went inactive, but now he is a little more active and he wa

My comp is good he just has the 5th and last of his rabies shots. I have had my pant leg bit several times but they haven't  really got me yet. I don`t know how I feel about the winter. Usually I prefer the summer but I love the snow of winter but Chile's summer here is brutal, it gets really hot and the sun just kills you and you can`t do anything about it. Junior is still doing very good, we sent a reference to the dominican repuplic so the missionaries could start teaching his wife but they never arrived, but she will be in chile in a short time and we will teach her here. Juniors biggest fear right now is that she won`t accept the gospel when she gets here.  We have no seen Marco lately he has disappeared so hopefully we find him again. We do teach a lot of Haitians. Yesterday we completed two weeks with out teaching a lesson to a chilean. The good thing too is that the haitians we have been finding recently speak better than average haitian spanish.  This past

Week #65 November 1, 2017

This week I have been really been happy because of Junior. I told you last week that we watched the full hour long restoration video with him and during the lessons this week he has told us he loved it!  With the video he really put everything together and understands it all.  The Authority use to be one of his biggest problems but now it is one of his favorite principles. He has been thinking about the video a lot and pretty much quotes parts of it back to us. Yesterday we were teaching him and Daniel his nephew about the sacrement and Daniel had a question about the restoration and Junior pretty much taught him the Restoration and then showed a video he had downloaded of the first vision and showed it to us and told us he has been sending it to everyone. Right after we finished watching the video we could still hear the music of the video coming from another one of the Haitians room in the house.  Juniors wife and son get to chile the  23rd of november  and Junior wants to wait f
