Spring is beginning to appear in Santiago! Trees are budding with flowers, birds are singing in the streets, and the days are slowly becoming longer and warmer. It's beautiful, but I have been warned about the heat of summer. I'll let you know when it comes.
I am still in my area, but my limits are changing. The new elders in my ward are the secretaries of the mission, so they have even less time to proselyte and work with members. But they're pretty awesome and one of them is my companion and I's district leader. It's a little different because the elders who were in our zone before were our zone leaders.
There was another baptism in the ward this past Saturday, but it was not actually an investigator or a person in our ward. A family came from Utah to see their family for three weeks and their eight year-old daughter got baptized while they were here. They came to our church building because the mother has a connection with our ward. The parents are both converts and the rest of their families were non-members. They asked me to play piano (which was brave of them). It was a great opportunity to get out and meet people and have them see a baptism. A lot of them have no clue what we believe, so we got to speak to them a little about the church.
And because the limits have changed a bit, we have walked even more and tried to get to know the areas we don't know as well. It's fun because we get to see new places and get to know more people!
