So this week was really interesting haha. I will go in order of what happened. Just so all of you know, this al happened in the same day. haha Yeah it wasnt the best day in the world, but it is really funny looking back on it now. haha So we where out in this little poblacion called progreso and we were just doing contacts and all of that jazz and we just had no success so we started making our way back into town and to get there we had to go through this little campo passage thing and as we are going we come up on this lady walking out to progreso with her bread for dinner and as we come up on her we say hi just like we do to all of the people and as we say it and pass her she says I know who you are, I was like really!? COOL! How do you know us? Did you share with missio..... You are assaulter´s! she says... I look at her and say huh?! She starts saying you are assaulter´s and she pulls out a knife and is like what you want to assault me?! Try it I will kill you. She then starts coming at us and I was like whoa lady we are just missionaries. I pull out a tarjeta and show it to her and say we are just here to talk to people about jesus christ and god. We dont want problems. She looks at the card and makes a scared face and screams a little and says you are assaulter´s I am going to call the cops on you. She takes one more step towards us with her knife and then as we stand our ground about 5 feet from her she looks around and says I am going to call the cops and starts basically yelling assaltors and starts walking away. Well we immediately turn and start walking away not wanting any problems with her and she as we are leaving starts yelling at us calling us assaltors and that she is calling the cops and that we need to practice the word of god. hahahahahaha It was not so funny in the process, but it is pretty funny now thinking about it. haha She was CRAZY!!!!! Well that is not the end of the story we get away from that lady and we are now walking to the church it is dusk and we walk past this house that is fairly big, the have money... Well as we do this dog that is 3 times the size of tango jumps out at us and just starts barking his head off and trys to attack haws. I turn to give it a good kick in the mouth because haws wasnt in any position to protect himself and as I turn the dog takes a jump back before I send a kick and somehow elder haws is now 10 feet in front of me haha He moved really fast from that dog. We keep walking wondering the whole time what the heck did we do wrong. haha This has been one of the weirdest days of our mission. We get to the church because they were doing a goodbye party for me and as we are there we are having fun and just eating and enjoying life now night time when in the church the lights just go off. Pitch black. Well we are like what the heck is going on. We went out and saw that outside all of the other houses had lights except for us and for the people next door. We walk in again to the church elder haws and I and when we walk into where everyone was all of a sudden we hear a big rumbling sound. It starts to get a little louder and then the walls start to shake and the ground starts to move a little and for about 15 seconds we felt the ground move and the walls shake. Well to say the least the members, kids are now freaking out. haha When it ends they start crying and I was like no its ok dont worry it is over now and we are ok it is a strong building and I immediately grab the open computer of a member and put on church music to calm down people while trying to get some jokes out and all of that. Well as we leave, elder haws and I because of the time, we start to talk and say how weird the day was. haha It had been so crazy and the weirdest things had happened. How cool is the mission. I dont think that you could have a day like that in any other place. ;) Welcome to the mission Chile Concepción!
As for transfers you asked at a perfect time. I am in the office of the mission and I will be going to Talca where I started. The same zone not the same sector. :) I will be going to do some good work up there and will be around one of my old comps from tomé elder Demann. I am so stoked to live in the same house as him. I am excited to go and just end my mission hard and have just tons of success. I am ready and energized to get working again as a zone leader. I am stilled just so humbled at this opportunity that I have. :) I hope I do well.
Love Elder Brown
