Week Highlights
- Intercambios with Hermana Hansen; very productive.
- Visa trip to Argentina with Hermana Garcia - had to leave Chile so her visa could process ("GET HACKED MISIÓN BUENOS AIRES NORTE").
- Buenos Aires Argentina Temple - performed ordinances.
- Ate alfajores - "little cookies that taste like heaven smooshed in a bag."
- "Bomb doorstep lesson" with an investigator she believes will eventually be baptized.
- Obispo texted during sacrament asking them to bear their testimonies to fill an awkward silence gap. The moment they stood, everyone else in the congregation stood too.

Spiritual Thought
2 Nephi 25:26 - "We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ." PMG excerpt: all missionary teaching centers on Jesus Christ. D&C 6:33-34 - "Fear not to do good...if ye are built upon my rock, they cannot prevail." Closes in Spanish: "Chao pescao [bye, fish - Chilean colloquial]. Que tenga un linda semana [Have a beautiful week]. Recuerda a Jesucristo."
Notes
- "Si che, hemos shegado" = Chilean slang for "Yeah man, we've arrived/made it." "Shegar" is a Chilean modification of "llegar" [to arrive].
- "La rubita" [the little blonde] = what Chileans call her on the street.
