1/2 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!



HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY NEW YEAR. I do not have mch time so this will be short (the pics took forever to send)
There was a legit war in the sky on New Year's Eve from fireworks. The music did not stop until like 5 AM. We got to eat dinner again! This whole weekend our president wanted us to go carol again hymns to bring in the new year so lots of singing. My shoeslaces just snapped one day so that shows how much we are on our feet haha.Yesterday for P day we got permission to watch freetown about the missionaries in africa.... and then we went back to the house and watch christmas angels on our little portable dvd player. Our mamita had left a bottle of juice, sandwiches, and a creme dessert for us on our table! I love her!
So we had a investigator who passed his baptismal interview and then on Saturday he did not come to his baptism and he was not in his house or answering our phone calls......called him after the baptism of the other peopleand he was in his house again eating food..... so maybe this week?
This week we met an RM in the town center who came back to visit with his wife. And then in a church, a family from Colorado whose mom lives in our branch came to visit and they are here the whole summer... so I have had a lot of english opportunties lately. Transfers are next week, so idk if I will be moving or not (my guess is yes but if not thats great too)!
This week my fav scripture was actually an entire book. The book of enos. It is only like 23 verses. But the reason why is because he changed. The year 2017 for me in one word was CHANGE. Change is good. It is progression. It is new learning experiences. I lived in Hawaii, Danville, Mexico, and Chile in 2017. I learned how to speak spanish. I have lived with 3 very different companions. I have totally grown in my knowledge of the gospel and have truly seen the joy of helping and serving others. I hope 2018 is even more uplifting. I know that there are high moments and low moments in everyone's lives, but we can always recieve the help we need from the BEST support system in the world. Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. One thing that really stuck in my mind this week is what could be more important than teaching about jesus christ and helping others recieve the happiness that comes from making commandments with the lord and to prepare to enter the temple... nothing!
I hope you all had a wonderful week and happy new year. Till next week! Love you guys!

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...

Week #7

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...
