Feb 19th: Transfer 5 week 1

feb 19th: Transfer 5 week 1

HEY! Well Linares has been such a great place the last 6 months but it really is time for me to go to........ TALCAHUANO NORTE. I will finish the training of Elder Aroz from Santiago, Chile. I hope my spanish is good enough haha if I do not understand I will look at him and he will probbaly look at me like well you are my trainer.... I so do not feel ready to train but so excited to take this step! Do not have much time as I have to pack and say goodbye to everyone, but my week in a few bullet points. 
  1. Our prez made "COCO" the new mission movie and we are going to use in a lot in FHE and activites to get people to do family history to prepare for the temple dedication around September.
  2. Wrote notes on 60 photos of me in like all my free time this week because I knew I was going to leave. We leave pics of us with the members and investigators with our info to keep in touch.
  3. One day we we were teaching and the dude said, wait a sec, let me get my keys to open the gate. NEVER came back out haha. We waited like 5 minutes. HAHA
  4. OFICIALLY LEGAL. Got my VISA. Only 6 months later haha.
  5. Our haitian investigators told us that their landlord told them we cannot come inside the house anymore to teach so we are planning on teach in the park nearby.
  6. It is so hot that I cuff my sleeves twice. It is super helpful haha (but my new area is by the beach and at the foot of a mountain/hill! So it won't be nearly as hot.
  7. Caught the cold and everyone was like why do you sound so weird. My nose was a faucte this week.
  8. Our mish prez made it a rule that every sunday in church there needs to be a musical number and if the members do not prepare it then the missionaries have to have a song prepared haha so looks like we will singing a lot.
  9. Elder Villablanca my old zone leader who finished his mish last transfer came to Linares this week and it is so true. missionaries are awkward after the mission haha. he just wnated to teach people haha
  10. FUNNY: We had 7 investigators in church yesterday and I was sitting next to 2 of them who are haitians. And for the closing hymn I walked up to the front to grab 2 hymn books and as I was walking back they saw their opportunity to escape as there was nobody next to them and they got up and LEFT hahaha. The whole branch saw and laughed haha. I thought it was funny. We ended up putting a baptismal date for March 10th with one after church. 

I will write yal next week but I will be in Concepcion now so I will get letters and packages every monday if they arrive! Going from the middle of nowhere to the tourist town of our mission. (BUT STILL NOT THAT TOURISTY).

I woke up one night at 3am and found these slugs all around the house and I threw them in the toilet

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...
