hey guys! so here in the office, we got a new Elder! he is going to take over atkinsons job from here on out. his name is elder madsen and he is from Pleasent Grove Utah. getting a new elder in the office is like getting an new companion, because we basically all are companions. when he came into the office, president said that we should go and take him out while we were running around in centro doing errands. we looked on our little gps and we found PF CHANGS IN SANTIAGO. you do not understand how fast we drove there. being able to eat orange chicken and some brown rice oh my gosh. TENDER MERCIES. it was a good little welcome to the office dinner. the next day, pres was so impressed on how well we did with these past changes that he took us out to one of his favorite peruvian restaurants. i got some meat that was served on a hot rock with some awesome sauces and we drank inca cola and rocotto sauce. so good to get away from the chilean food once and a while! last year when thanksgiving time came around, i ate turkey neck with my greenie. (this is what the butcher gave us when we asked him for turkey). this year, the senior married couple that works in the office offered us to eat with them for thanksgiving dinner!! it was so sweet of them. they made us turkey and salad and sweet roles and PUMPKIN PIE. oh my gosh it was the biggest blessing. this week was probably one of my more harder weeks emotionally (its not all peaches and roses out here on the mish...stress gets to you in the worst of times), and i was trying to figure out what is something that i can do to try and boost my spirits. i had the thought come into my head to try and ask for a priesthood blessing from the office guys. i asked elder madsen to give me the blessing and it helped me literally SO much. the blessing he gave me was so intricate and very tender! after he gave me the blessing, my day got progressively better, and i was able to feel the spirit more, and back to my old self! the power of the priesthood is true people! in this coming week, i think things are going to chill out a lot more, so i think we are going to have more time to go out and teach people! so so so excited!!! i have to scram though...love all of you so much! ekw p-day art...this art is literally all over the side of the buildings here mashed quinoa and some sea food santiago sur art oh yes, some good ol american fast food the office crew...santiago south cheesin cause we got some calabaza (pumpkin) pie
