Feb. 12th: Transfer 4 week 6

I have no time this week! But I had Zone Conference and we have 4 people with baptismal dates! 3 girls who are sisters and one other haitain named Orando (which in spanish means praying haha). 

1. Went to our investigators houses this week and the jehovah's witnesses were inside teaching them haha. But they still came to our church. But so awk
2. My comp tells me I look like chicken little and that I talk so loud that I am always yelling haha
3. I got my package from my sisters!
4. There are so many people here who sell individual bandaides in the streets for 100 pesos.
5. The chileans have a syaing that the people who do not wear underwear are gringos. So this week someone asked me if I was wearing underwear or if I did before the mission because apparently they think that nobody in the states wears underwear.
6. My mish prez's wife Hermana Catala is SO STRONG. She recieved a call during our zone conference that her dad died (that or a little before.... it was little hectic so I could not understand) and she held it together and still had to give a lesson. 
7. In my zone conf they gave us a written Preach my gospel test! I felt like I was in school again. Let's just say that our president told everyone the focus for the next transfer is on preach my gospel based on the scores haha.  I really loved zone conference and learning a ton of new stuff. I am going to REALLY focus in on preach my gospel now haha. 2 transfers ago I was super focused on learning my part for the songs. Then this transfer I was really focused on the sword "the scriptures". I made a huge list with tons of different problems and specific scriptures to use for different responses. I have it taped in front of my scriptures so I can refer to it during the lesson.

 We were able to have 6 investigators in church! This week my fav scripture was Matthew 18:18. Through the priesthood we really can bind the powers of heaven here on earth. I am so grateful for my savior and the peace that I have through him that no matter what happens during my life. It will work out with him. 

Love you all! Talk to you soon!

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...
