Can't believe it's 2011

Hello All!

Well this morning my companion and I ran all around town making copies of paperwork, getting more paperwork, making more copies, and getting everything done for my carnet. In 10 more days I will actually be legal in Chile! After 5 months of being here illegally it should feel really good. haha. After all that run around we finally got here and I was excited to see lots of emails! Thank you all for the updates and love. It makes me so happy to know how everyone is doing.

I don't know how many of you heard about the earthquake here in Chile, but no one should worry. As far as I know it was in the North and I didn't feel a thing. Darn! I think it would be kind of fun to feel one...we have had some little trembles but they always happen in the night and I sleep so good normally that I have not felt a single one. I did hear that something burnt down in Provo UT. Was it the temple!? Someone sum it up for me. We, missionaries don't see the news...

So I hope you have all thought about some good goals for 2011! New Years eve guess what me and my companion did...SLEPT! haha. We went to bed at 11 o clock pm like every other night. Hermana Argueta woke up at midnight with all the noise that was happening outside, but I didn't hear a thing. oh well... Happy New Year!

So turns out the bigger the city the more busy the people...In other words, we walk A LOT! At least it is nice and sun shiny though. But we are teaching a mother and son that have baptismal dates this month. The mom is Inet and the son is Pedro. They live with the dad and two more sisters. I would love to teach the whole family... I only pray that one of these days we will find them all home and willing to listen. Since I have only been here two weeks I am still getting to know the area and the investigators. We have like three investigators that want to be baptised but can't because they aren't married and they can't get married because they are waiting on a divorce. Chile is really slow with the whole divorce thing... it's horrible.

Well I really don't have too much to say today. I hope you all celebrated new years well and are enjoying every moment of life. It is only so long you know, we have to enjoy it, every second! If you could all keep our investigators in your prayers I would really appreciate and so will they.

Love,
Hermana Canal
