Caelan is married!!! How crazy is that! I'm so happy for you, hermanita!!!!! Jaja you're not exactly my 'little' sister, but 'hermana mayor' just sounds weird. But really, I am so happy for you!!! Brad is one lucky guy haha! And I'm sure the wedding and reception and everything was just a blur of craziness! Kinda loco that so many months and months of planning got blown through in a couple of hours, huh? But I am sure it was fantastic! It's weird that there were people at our house... I wonder if Darian follows everyone's footsteps and goes to other people's houses instead of inviting them over to ours, even though our house is the perfect house for everything. Jejejeje, But how's everyone holding up? It makes me laugh imagining Bronson at his 'Trash Duty' post, barking at everyone for not cleaning up! What do you mean 'we spotted you at the wedding?'
Well, I must say that my week wasn't quite as busy and crazy as yours! It was a slightly difficult week, but not too much. I honestly don't know what to talk about. It was a pretty normal week. One thing different about this week is that I had some doctor's test all this week. The dermatologist figured that the crap on my hand might be an allergic reaction, so he gave me a 'patch' test. Basically, they put a very high concentration of random chemicals on some patches and taped it to my body, and I leave it there for a week, and at the end, if my body is reacting, it means I'm allergic... so basically, I couldn't shower all week, because I couldn't get them wet. Can you imagine a missionary walking everywhere every day not being able to shower? It wasn't exactly the loveliest of experiences. However, I don't really sweat too much, so it could've been a lot worse. I got the results today, and turns out I'm allergic to some weird named chemicals I don't even know how to pronounce, and cobalt. So that's that...
It was the first week of the new cambios. I'm still with my hijito, Elder Aparicio. We are just trucking along. We live in a ward that's super far away from ours, so we have to travel by bus every day to get there, it takes around half an hour. But that's chill. Now, the other missionaries from Caliche are moving from the old house to our current house. There are going to be eight missionaries in our pension. That will be interesting! I like it though, there are some cool people there. There is a Columbian who lives there and he cuts my hair and he's super cool.
This Sunday was pretty awesome. We only had two people come to church, and one is an eternal investigator, but the other will get baptized this week! Dayana, a young woman that we are teaching, is progressing very rapidly! She is the sister of a less active kid, Antony, and he's coming back. They're from Ecaudor! There are more foreigners in Antofagasta than there are Chilenos. We call it 'Antofolombia' jejeje. But anyways, the church was awesome too because it was fast and testimony meeting (we had stake conference the first sunday). And there were a lot of awesome testimonies. A missionary came home and he gave an awesome testimony of the work! But in the night we had a family home evening in the chapel with our investigators and less actives and new converts and everything. It was legit, but I didn't know I was going to teach until a few minutes before. It just ended up being a short thing about the Book of Mormon, but very powerful! And then we had very fun games.
So, I will admit, Saturday was a little difficult. It didn't really hit me until halfway through the day that my sister was getting married that day! Not the fact of her marriage made me sad, but the fact that I wasn't there. A lot of people just randomly started asking me about my family that day! Jaja I don't get to talk about you guys too much, but just randomly everyone asked me that very day what my family was doing! What the deuce?! So it was just a constant reminder that I wasn't there for such a big family event. But that's ok. The same stuff will happen to Aiden jejeje. But it was just an interesting day.
Well, that's pretty much it... kinda boring, per asà es la vida! I'll talk to y'all next week! Keep it classy!
Les amo a todos!
Elder Schmid
