December 24, 2011


So there really isn't anything to write today since I am going to call you in 3 and a half hours. Well okay I am going to call the family not everybody but you get the point. But. I'll fill everybody in with some info I guess...

This week went well I'm getting used to the sector and everything I know where all of the important things are at least haha. Nothing really exciting happened...

We found some really good people who are going to be cool investigators. Me and my companion are doing well teaching them so they understand and in the end it will be obvious that they need to get baptized so if they understand it they're gonna do it. Pretty sure. So I was thinking about what I should add in this email earlier and really can't think of anything important to ask or tell... I've almost finished the Book of Mormon in English and Spanish so that's pretty cool. I've also read most of D&C and Genesis and Exodus... I kinda skipped alot of stuff though because really how important is it to know how many holes Moses put in the 3rd Curtain on the right hand side of the inner court of the tabernacle. (Yes, I did that on purpose).

SO yeah. That's that. Turns out I left a few things in my last sector, which I'm gonna get back but for now i'm kinda missing my tooth brush and razor... I'm still shaving and brushing my teeth promise. but i would have liked to have my ipod with me this whole time. Like I said I'm gonna get it back but it still is lame I forgot it.

This is the best place in the world though for me to be. Talking with my companion we've figured out that the gospel really makes people smarter. It's pretty awesome. Just noticing in ourselves and in the investigators that we get smarter the more we study the gospel. So if anybody feels dumb who reads this just read the Book of Mormon and you'll get smarter :) it's true. Oh yeah. to add to what books I've read here I read Jesus the Christ, Our Search for Happiness, and Our Heritage. and there is this book called the day of defense, written by a missionary and basically answers any question another church might have about our beliefs and how they are all in line with what the Bible teaches. Because people think we don't go along with the Bible. Pfft. Silly people. Anyways. It's a pretty sweet book. I want to read more, because the more I read the more I feel like I need to know more. Haha. I know we're supposed to focus on what our investigators need but I read Jesus the Christ and the more I read the more questions came up that I could answer because of Jesus the Christ. So yeah.

Por Venir is pretty chill. Well... Really, there's like nobody here. But it's cool I like it here. Their Christmas traditions are different, they have small parade like things which are lead by a vehicle (truck, crane, whatever) with Santa Clause in it throwing candy to the kids and he is followed by like 12 cars all with balloons in the windows and honking their horns. It's funny. We haven't gotten any candy from him though. Unfortunately.

I hope everything is going well on the other side of the PLANET! That's still fun to know that I'm farther south than like everybody else on the planet. Baha.

Well. That's really all. I don't have much to tell.... I hope the Hydrogen fuel injection things are going well. Don't die blowing them up. I hope it's hot in Arizona (HA) because it's not here. Actually on the 21st (the first day of summer here) it hailed in Punta Arenas. ridiculous right? Whatevers though. I'll talk to y'all next P-day. and the family in 3 hours.

Love you all.
Elder Bassett
