ALBARDON

This has been an awesome week. The best one in a VERY long time. I´m back up in Chimbas, the promised land. I´m way excited here and Elder Balmaceda and I have been putting in work.

Well our area is the most humble part of the mission. We found 15 new investigators last week which is my record by a lot. There´s this part of our area called Campo Afuera that you can pretty much get in to any house and teach a lesson. It´s awesome. We taught a TON last week and we´ve been putting a lot of baptismal dates. We´ll be seeing baptisms soon. There is a huge difference between Chimbas and San Rafael... it´s crazy. Albardon is the area most north in the entire mission... also during the summer the hottest. But right now the weather is in like the 60´s I would imagine.

Here´s the rundown on Elder Balmaceda. He´s from Buenos Aires. He showed up to the mission with me. He´s been a zone leader for a long time now, and he´s doing a great job at showing me how it is. He´s 26.. pretty old for the mission but he´s all business. He´s been in Albardon for one transfer and now we´ve been tearing it up here. Also, the pench here in Albardon is one of the best in the mission..... I´ll send photos. It´s way awesome.

Albardon is so big that we use bikes.... So I feel like a real missionary now hahaha. It took a couple of days to adjust to it but now it´s all good. If you remember a long time ago I did an intercambio in Albardon... when my butt hurt... yeah that´s here.

So tomorrow we have Consejo of the mission, where all the zone leaders get together and listen to president goates. So our colectivo leaves san juan at 6 so we got a bunch to do. And it´s way awesome cause a bunch of dear friends on the mish will be in the consejo.... yeah.

I got my haircut today. 

Time is really picking up..... oh my gosh it´s going by so fast. 

That´s pretty much it for now. I´m kinda in a hurry cause we got some more stuff to do before consejo. So have a good week and keep the commandments!!!!

love,

Elder Anderson
