1. shoutout to my mom and dad. happy anniversary!
2. Found out my convert in Linares Cesar, leaves with the missionaries almost every other day! It pays off so much to hear news about the progression of people you help. 
3. The baptismal dates of Milagro, Belen, and Matias all fell through. Milagro said her husband would leave her is she got baptized, Belen does not have pemission from her parents and she is scared to be baptized (she hates water), and Matias got chicken pox so we cannot teach him for 10 days. BUT ANDRE, now has a baptismal date. His dad signed the paper last night and should be baptized here in the next couple of weeks. Also, Carlos the dad of Vania and husband of Alejandra came to church. We went to wake them up and go with them and they told us no and during the sacrament he walked in with vania! He told me "he had a spine in his heart" when he said no and he just had to come. but he still is quite aways from being baptized.
4. It is so important that we actually convert people with our testimony and not just with our personality. There are so many inactive people here. SO MANY. When we missionaries leave the area, if they do not have a foundation in the gospel....they will fall. SO I am really working on that and trying to always include members in activities and lessons so that when it is my turn to leave they will still be motivated to attend. 
5. package from my aunt linda got here today! YOU DA BEST! 
6. ZONE CONF WEDNESDAY. These weeks are the best. It is just like a spiritual feast and you have good food and are with friends all day!

I LOVE YOU ALL. Thanks for the emails and support! I really do try to respond to everyone. So sorry if it takes a couple weeks!

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...
