Nov. 13th

Sorry not a lot of time this week and last week my letter did not send.

Fun Facts:
1.The flavor vanilla here. SO NOT VANILLA.
2. Anything Nestle here. You name it. Every candy, drink, and food is nestle. But not the american nestle products. Different ones we have never seen.
3. Dried fruit is my new obession
4. Got called Tweety bird and a canary
5. The problem here: NOBODY IS MARRIED. and NOBODY wants to get married.
6. I basically just buy pears, carrots, tomatoes, and avocados from the market.
7. Literally the country of Haiti is moving to Chile. They are everywhere and barely speak spanish.
8. We helped people with an english project and they made us ice cream crepes. SO GOOD.
9. I helped someone open a bakery in my branch this week.
10. SEEDS. Are in everything. They do not take the seeds out of stuff. 
11. EVERYONE WORKS IN BLUEBERRY FIELDS HERE
This week was good, buit difficult in terms of the work. We had 11 people committed to church and NOBODY came. We helped a couple get the motivation to get married, and another couple told us they do not want to get amrried. SO success and failure. But we did manage to get 2 less actives back to church!

This week I was reminded of how grateful I am to have a consistent church. Literally the church is the same everywhere you go. We have the same lessons, organizations, and foundations. We have the same church leaders and meetings and etc. I love knowing that no matter where I am transferred or where I go in the world from Egypt to Tonga to Mongolia..... There will always be people with my same standards and beliefs. Always people to help me and immediate friends. The message of the gospel is so unique and I feel so happy that I can bring the restored truth to the people of Chile and with everyone I meet for the rest of my life.
LOVE YOU ALL! Promise my letter next week will be better! Have a great week! Try to do an act oif service for someone (whether you know them or not).

THE MTC- Week #5

Image
Hey peeps! This week was so insane. So first off, next time I email I will be in Chile! I leave Monday afternoon and take a Red Eye there. Also, i am officially the oldest in the MTC, which means that people see my little green sticker on my nametag and think we are so cool. It is actually kind of funny because I never felt that way about people with stickers before. We also got a new district in our zone, so me and comp had to go meet them and do a question and answer as the zone leaders. I feel like it was JUST me yesterday, so it felt super weird. My district sang in sacrament on sunday a mashup of "come, come ye saints and lead kimdñy light" and let me tell you it was bomb. We also had to plan the sacrament meeting as the ZLs and we had to choose 6 speakers and every time their name was called in sacrament they would give us a death glare like UH WHY DID YOU PICK ME. We also had to teach priesthood for the branch, so to say the least this week was busy. Something kind...

In the words of my brother in law Jeff... What´s up party people, This week was so good. We followed president´s orders and organized and cleaned out the whole area book- threw out all the people who did not go to church or did not show interest. So we went through every progress record and lesson record to see who we would save. We ended up with a pile of like 50 people to call and show up at their door. Well out of the 30 that we had time to go to this past week... about 5 have interest... and two came to church.... but he is living with a Venezuelan. We are going to talk to them this week about marriage. We are going to visit the rest this week. Yuyu came to church. She is so close to baptism ah. I really do not know how else to help her. She knows everything and wants to believe it is true and thinks it is true but she wants a yes or no answer. We have taught her she has already received her answer but she won´t accept that. We even taught her with a member psychologist who tot...

ALOHA. I miss hawaii this week as it randomly got REALLY hot. It is always cold in the morning and night but the HEAT came during the day. Ok wow I always freak out when I am writing because I always have so many things happen and I have so little time. BUT sorry no pics this week, I forogt my chord. Anyways in no specific order there are some crazy things. So missionaies dont eat dinner here. We eat a freakishly large lunch, like very large, and i swear I am going to explode after after time i eat. Andyou have to eat it all. Not gonna lie, I have stuffed some things in my pocket. So we eat at  1:30  with members and then eat a snack when we get home at  9:30 . Also today is Chile's independance day (equiv of our  4th of july ). So I guess it a law here that everyone has to have a chile flag in their window or hanging up outside or you will get a ticket, so we had to go buy one under the direction of the mish prez. BUT i was trying to learn my vocab and i acciden...
