Elder Wesley Brady in Santiago Chile: September 15, Cerro Navia, Chile

Hola a todos!

This week was crazy!!! Monday we had our Activity of Zone and we played footbal for all 7 hours and had asado y todo! It was a blast! Tuesday was pretty normal we just had a noche de hogar (FHE) with the youth at the church and i taught the lesson and we played some weird game afterwards. Wednesday we had our Zone Conference which seemed to never end. Thursday ( 9/11) is also a bad day here in Chile. But here everyone just used this day as a day to do bad stuff. This night everyone was knocking out street lights, throwing rocks at houses and cars and shops. They started bonfires in the streets. We had someone build a fire right in front of our house and they were throwing pipe bombs down the street and stuff and in the fires. There were alot of public buses that blew up and stuff. So many people had guns and were just shooting them in the air our at the street lights and at the cops as they were passing by. We have a gated house so we went outside but stayed in the gate and right when we went out the police came by driving down the streets really fast and shooting cans of tear gas at all the people in the street. We got a big wif of it. My eyes and throat have never hurt so bad holy cow that stuff was nasty! But yeah that was so crazy!!! But it was so cool i mean these guys know how to party! Friday I got to eat lunch with my parents and that was really cool. We got permission from the mission president and we went and ate peruvian food cuz that stuff is the beast yeah. Saturday we went to one of our investigators houses and the son told us pretty much that he hates us and doenst want us to come back to teach his mom. We teach his mom and then she tells her son what we "taught". She tells her son an apostitized version of what we have been teaching her. And we have been teaching very plain and simple. I dont know but we dropped her. We are back at ground Zero.

But that was my week! We have cambios this next monday!
