well quite frankly this week was pretty incredible!! we taught 34 lessons this week in total! we are doing what we need to be doing not just walking around trying to find people we are TEACHING people! its awesome! there are so many people here we can contact a ton of people and yesterday was the best day of the them all. so to start off Saturday after lunch i felt like i needed to fast so i started my fast and things started going pretty well. had 5 of 6 lessons and its was cool. woke up sunday and we went to church and during sacrament meeting a few of the youth bore their testimonies about the EFY that they went to. as the last one got up to bear his testimony I started noticing that around him he was glowing. haha crazy i know but just hold on. i thought that i was just seeing stuff and needed to eat but as he was bearing his testimony his ¨light¨ or auora got brighter as he started really talking and feeling the spirit. so at this point the gifts of the spirit are starting to pop into my head. haha after a lady in the ward was giving her talk and i could see the same thing with her and it was the same. when she started to REALLY bear her testimony her glow got brighter. and during church and after during the meeting i kept seeing it. we had a meeting with the bishop and i could see a faint glow around him and yeah. then we went to a members house for lunch. i ended my fast thinking that was a pretty sweet experience. and went down stairs to eat. as we were eating the mom commented how her family had reactivaded themselves the last month. and that her daughter, Millaray, that is 10 isnt baptized. The girl then told us that she wants to be baptized. haha it just fell into our lap! it was crazy sweet! after lunch we taught her the first lesson and set a date for baptism. haha march 2. my birthday. haha it was crazy! and it is going to be a sweet birthday!
Besides Millaray, we have 1 baptism for sure this week and it could be two if we see more effort from one guy. and we are working on a third that is just nervous about what her kids will think if she gets baptized. and tomorrow we are going to do the activity for the refrences. haha so yeah it was pretty sweet week to say the least!
there are a ton of hills here. ha ha we walked up a hill the other day the was probably 1/3 of a mile long. haha and that was to start off the day! tons of hills here but i just gotta enjoy it! and also this week we had lunch with the mamita and both her sons are Boy Scouts! haha we talked for a good 45 min about scouts and the older son is going to try to buy me 4 patches that say Boy Scouts Chile for me. should i buy more?
also we gave a blessing to a lady and her husband had a companion in his mission in Chile, Conception, 1989-1990
oh and if you send anything my way soon the bishop here love stephen kat perry and if you can send him the cd The Best Of, with the song ¨until the next time¨ and the new light CD he would be a very very happy man. haha just take the money out of my account if you do send anything.
well the fruit here is way cheap so we I have bought a ton of fruit yougurt and oatmeal and in the moring I cut up fruit in a bowl and eat the fruit with oats and yogurt. and an omelet also usually. haha and then we have lunch at a members house which is usually pasta or rice and meat or something like that. and then we eat dinner sometimes but most of the time i just buy a pear or a slice of a watermelon for dinner. and yeah sometimes we cook eggs in the night too. but dont worry im not starving myself im just only eating when im hungry. haha

all is well here!
Elder Ethington
