Elder Scott McMillan

Pretty much everything went downhill this week right after p-day ended. Literally 30min after pday ended we got a phone call from the 2 people we had on baptismal dates and they said they didn't want to see us again and that they're never going to open the door for us. Came out of nowhere. Just stuff like that. We haven't tried to contact them since. That was a low point of the week for sure.  Also I was able to teach a guy from Canada in English. He said that he had come down to Chile to marry a Chilean woman and then she divorced him. Looks like he's now in a pretty rough spot in his life. He feels like he has a really strong connection with birds. Like he said that birds generally just come and land on his shoulders and hands and stuff. So that was pretty interesting trying to teach him a gospel message. My companion said he got about 50% of what he said since it was in English which is pretty good. I'm on a bus going to Osorno right now. It's an hour awa...

First off you should all join my google photos. Thats where I upload all of the fire flicks. https://photos.app.goo.gl/MeSu7s9Vg6jNCaap9 So this week was basically cooked. We had pday on Tuesday instead of Monday because of interviews with President. Thursday night we went to Osorno and spent the night there since we needed to get to Zone conference on Friday in Valdivia. The Elders forgot to pay their electricity bill so we didn't have any power for a few hours. Got up the next morning and Conference was pretty fire just really tiring with a lot of traveling. We didn't get back to our house until 9PM. Good news of the week is that we finally got an Electric Heater so our house isn't super super cold all the time!!! Saw some of the old CCM dawgs. We completed 7 months to the day at the conference. Mission has been like the Truman Show lately. So it can get really easy to lose track of time. Like bruh what do you mean we're already in October? Before I know it Chri...

Yeah so pretty much another cambio ends this week which means another 6 weeks has passed in the mission. I don't really know where the time has gone. It feels like we always need more time to get everythign done. Kinda crazy how fast time goes in the mission. We are losing a lot of missionaries this transfer so we'll see our fate. Not a lot happened this week. We were in our area for the whole week with no Chilean Holidays so it was just a normal work week. Luckily that means the grocery stores were stocked again. Unlike the States, the essential items are nowhere to be found after a holiday. We did meet some interesting people tho. We met this one lady and she was down to pray with us so we where like "lit, she can feel the spirit and want to learn more," but that's not quite how it went. She prayed for 6 minutes. And she started shouting about halfway through. That was an interesting experience. Then we met a guy who thought that God was like in a t...
