Elder Nate Austin

Hey mom.  After the bike ride last week I was sore but not as sore as I was expecting.  Well sounds like you have done some fun activities in my honor in St George.   This week was very good and I was very happy but then almost none of our investigators went to church  on sunday  so that was a little disappointing- but we´ll get them this sunday.  Today was a very fun pday, we played paintball and we went with several people from my group and with our companions and we were on one team and our companions were on another- so we got to beat up on our comps.  On sunday  we are going to have an open chapel in our ward so hopefully it turns out well.  sorry i can´t write to much today, i am already running out of time but thanks for all the birthday wishes i love you. and i will be seeing you soon.  Love Elder Austin

Hey mom, They bikes have been great but it rained several days this past week and we can´t use the bikes during the rain. But today we really took advantage of the bikes, for pday we rode our bikes around the entire mission-we went like 22 1/2 miles and it took 3 hours but it was a lot of fun. We were trying recording some of it but the videos didn´t come out to well. I´m going to attach a picture of google maps so you can see our route. My legs are going to hurt tomorrow though.  This past week we had stake conference and it was pouring so no investigators came to church but we do have a couple investigators we are excited for. The first are Ricardo y Flor who are a couple that we got through a member reference and this past week accepted a baptismal date for  july 14th  which is my last week so I hope everything works out.  This past week it snowed in a lot of parts in Santiago but the snow did not make it to our mission. On Thursdays I teach the English classes and my Braz

Hey. So the highlight of this week is that we got bikes! We got them last friday and they have helped a lot. We have been able to get places a lot faster and go to farther places where we wouldn't normally get to spend much time. We also save a bunch of money on transportation to go to meetings and stuff like that.  We have also started teaching english and portugues classes. this past weekend were the changes and i am staying in my ward with elder Rei for my last change. All the other companionships in the zone had changes so there are 5 new missionaries to the zone. I am super happy because a lot of people I know came to the zone for this change. We are now living with elder Velez from ecuador and elder benitez from argentina. On Tuesday  we had the change meeting and Elder Moore my old companion finished his mission but stayed around because his parents came to pick him up so he was there at the change meeting, but it was weird to see him because he was still there but he wasn
