hey you cool cats!! i have to bounce here in a sec, but ill give you a little update as to what is going to go down this week in the office, and what has happened. so there was an elder that has been waiting for his visa to go to mexico. he has been serving in our mission for about a change now (6 weeks). we finally got his visa, i ordered the next flight out of santiago to go to mexico city, and we took him to the airport. when we got there, there was a huge line to get his bags in and do checking. we sit in line for like 45 minutes, and we get to the counter and we give the woman this elders passport. she looks at his name in the system and nonchalantly says,"ah ya so your flight got changed so you'll leave at the same time, but you will have a two day lay over in mexico when you get there." .........my wig was found on the surface of the surface of neptune. i about had a meltdown. lady, you MUST be joking right? i had to talk to her and tell her that there should be no way in heck that he could have a two day layover in mexico, because there would be no way for him to get a hotel, nor have the mission come and grab him at another time (cause there mission is like 2 hours in the other direction.) it was a long and fretful battle against the receptionist desk lady and me, but we got his flight plans all figured out and he got to mexico safe! we got to see a lot of santiago this week, because we were running all around to different notaries that we thought had our presidents signature registered. it was cool to go to las condes and la reina, to go to providencia, and to macul. i took some cool pictures of stuff like a building with foliage and stuff on the side, and some mountains that ive never seen. on the way home from the airport drama, i went to neptune to grab my wig back.....but, it got snatched again because a few days later when i ordered lunch for a conference that we were having as a mission. the people that were making the food mixed up the amount of plates that i asked for two days prior. i ordered 71 plates for the day one zone conference and 64 for the second day, but they switched the numbers and I SWEAR WE WERENT GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH FOOD FOR THE TWO CONFERENCES. but tender mercy, they ended up having enough by cutting portion sizes from all the plates, and then the whole conference was saved from hunger!! also i was able to make a baptism video with all our recent baptisms in the the mission and it was actually super fun! we showed it at the conferences, and i got so many positive responses. but what we have to do this week is we have to go to centro to get some passports from the people that are going to be coming to our mission! we also have to plan for changes, (transfers) and move 5 whole houses out and do a huge switch that president wants for this change :,)). you guys, thats like moving 5 houses full of stuff out AND in to 5 new houses...im dead just thinking about it. we also have to do the changes meeting, and i have to go to the airport about 5 times in two days, with like 3 hours of sleep in between its going to be a wild ride. pray for me, im going to need it!! love all of you! we are going to get through this week! ekw buildings and buildings... from notary to notary it rained a little yesterday and we got a super cool sky after flower tower we found some streets with states on them. i couldnt find california :,( i made some lemonade by hand and i can safely say that my forearms were HUGE afterwards
