El Partido

In the chilly land of Chile, there were two missionaries. In this day, they called members and investigators and invited them to a very special night called Noche de Hogar, translated from the native language into English as "Family Home Evening". Yet something seemed amiss...nobody seemed able to come. It was when their faithful conserje told them that there was a very special game on that night between Chile and Bolivia. The game was part of the American Cup 100. And thus the missionaries discovered again how their special night was ruined again by soccer.

Just kidding. While this did happen, we just went and tried to find more people. So not all was lost. But I guess it's just going to show us how the FIFA World Cup is going to be like. #soccerisimporantinlatinamerica

I wonder how the Rio Olympics are going to be? But in all my experience in Latin America, Chileans seem the most dedicated to soccer. They scream more, there are more parties that last throughout the whole night (and thus my sleep!). Missionaries usually have a warning to be safe on game nights, because whether Chile wins or loses, people always seem to lose it and go a little loose on the streets. But since my sector is more cuico, translated from the native language as "richer", we don't seem to have this problem.

But in one of my pictures you will see the consequences of the partido (which means game, I think).
Not much else is happening. We have been trying to reach out to more menos actives and contacting more and more! And we will keep seeing more and more miracles, because miracles still happen. Next week is cambios, so some changes will be happening soon!

Apparently the Partido causes cats to run away...
