We got the call from our zone leaders on saturday night about the transfers, and it's 
crazy. My companion is leaving, and I'm staying here in Nancagua for my 4th transfer. 
But wait; there's more. Tomorrow morning I have to jump on a bus early in the morning 
to Rancagua to pick up a fresh-off-the-plane Elder! I'm training this transfer! 
The companionships for the new missionaries that are going to arrive tomorrow still 
haven't been determined, so I have no idea who I'm going to train or what language(s) 
he's going to speak. But I'm so excited, and a little bit nervous, because the life of a brand 
new missionary is completely in my control. I think it's going to be fun.

Love,

Elder Hamilton

We went to a neighboring poblacion called Placilla, and we found a kiwi plantation! I 
didn't know that kiwi grew like this, or that kiwi grows in Chile

This week we made friends with some guy that owns a panaderia 
(bakery/bread place) and he taught us how to make bread, and we got to help 
him, and it was pretty fun. The big wood burning oven hes got in there was at 
240 degrees celsius, so it was sooooo hoooot in there when we opened up the 
door to put the dough in. But then he gave us some bread literally right out of 
the oven with some ham and cheese, and it was amazing.
