Bienvenido a la mission, Presidente Meservy.
It was a crazy week filled with just about everything minus work
in Vespucio. Let’s start on Tuesday. The 4th of July happened to be
a p-day so my companion and I went to a barbeque hosted by the San Pablo zone
where Elder Langston is right now. It wasn’t exactly like 4th of
July in the states and we did get a heavy pour of rain, but the Aloha shirt
saved the day. (All Seth wanted for his birthday was an Aloha shirt. His dad
travels to Hawaii often for work and happened to be there a few weeks before
Seth’s birthday, so he hooked him up!!)
Wednesday: Our cumpleanos. (Seth and his companion have the
same birthday!) Not a bad birthday, but it happened to be the day we planned
out the mission tour for President Meservy so we were in the office all day in
order to get that all put together. On Thursday the tour began in Los Andes
where the missionaries got together for a meeting, interviews, and to eat
empanadas. After that, we had the goal to go to each house and chapel of the
missionaries, but we got a little lost and ended up having to pay 5 unnecessary
tolls and we ended up spending the night in a hotel in Los Andes. Kind of fun
spending the night in a hotel, it reminded us quite a bit of swim meet trips,
in fact it made me go a little crazy because I started smelling chlorine even
though there was no pool anywhere close.

On Friday we woke up and did the tour of Colina and I went
back to Lampa for the first time which was cool. This week we’re doing the same
thing but for the 7 zones in Santiago so we are/will be pretty busy with all of
that, but we are enjoying and learning a lot. The family of President Meservy
has come with us everywhere so we’ve also been able to get to know them. The
kids are J (13) and M (10) and while they both have energy; M is without a
doubt the craziest/funniest one. Never in my mission have I spoken so much
English as I have in these past days and my companion has never spoken so much
English in his life. For us, the Meservys already feel like family and we’re so
excited to continue working with them to bring Chile Santiago Norte to new
heights.
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Elder Birrell
