May 28, 2018- 10 MONTHS!!!!

Well this week was great. the family that we went to the temple with has a baptismal date for June 23. we finally found milagro who had a baptismal date but did not come to church for awhile because something always happened. so saturday we got back from the temple a little earlier than expected and we both thought we should go try and visit her even though we had tried like 10 times before and she was never there. She was there and I knew something was going to happen that could impede her from going to church so I asked if we could set an alarm clock on her phone for church and we set SIX to be sure that she woke up and did not have an excuse and guess waht SHE CAME. NOW SHE IS ON DATE TO BE BAPTIZED SATURDAY. We had a good week in terms of people progressing. We have another investigator named belen who should be baptized saturday but we still do not have the signature of the parents. we have passed by SO MANY times to try to get it and they are never home and then we set an appointment for them and they still are not home. so since her baptism is this week we are literally going to just like sit outside their house until they get home (just kidding haha) We had a typical missionary experience this week. We had the 6 hours of finding needs in our plans and we had plans to knock one whole street. It took over 2 hours and NOBODY ANSWERED or gave us the finger in the window or said "nobody is home" from the inside so we finally got to the LAST house on the street and THEY ANSWERED. We taught a lesson and although she really was not that interested we still found someone haha. We were teaching a lesson night outside in the rain and the policeman tackled someone legit right in front of the door we were teaching at while we sharing the first vision. Something always happens during lesson 1. I am good! Officially, reknocking some doors (for the 3rd time haha) and streets since my sector is so small but we are still always on the hunt to find new people. 

Scripture of the week: JOHN 5:39. I LOVE THE SCRIPS. study them!

funny: we were singing in church yesterday and they key changed like 4 times during the song. nobody knows how to sing haha so I was trying to sing in the same key for everyone else to listen but it overall just sounded so bad. im excited to be in the states to hear a piano and sing with good singers haha

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...
