July 30, 2018- " Well what should we do now"


lol this caption was us literally everyday this week. It was a week of going to house after house and nobody being home. It was kind of a joke bc EVERYONE was gone.

But this week we ended with a lightbulb moment (one of those times where you feel so dumb because you did not know about the thing before). My former companion told me that everyone in the house behind us were members. ANYWAYS, we found out last night that our mamita actually has a son who has been 9 for a long time and is not baptized SO... MIRACLE. They literally live behind us and we can no joke go to his window every sunday to wake him up and we can teach literally in our backyard haha. Well, we had 4 people in church. I went and found a girl named Belen who I taught all the lessons to like 3 months ago. she stopped to come to church but then came sunday so hopefully she keeps progressing! Sonia should be able to go to church this week (she feels way better... she is the afro lady from my pics). Hector was sick this week s could not go, but we had a great lesson with him about the plan of salvation and his depression). We have transfers next week... I have 6 months in my sector so it is likely I will go, but who knows! Stay tuned.... this week we had an intercambio and I had a baptismal interview for my hermana's investigator. HE WAS SO SMART. This week we also found a couple haitians who went to church 4 times and then disappeared and then when our phone got wet we lost their numbers. Anyways last night when the plans fell through I remembered them and we went and FOUND THEM (listen to the spirit). We got their numbers and found 2 more haitians who are interested!

This week we found out that the prophet has it on his schedule to come to dedicate the temple! I am SO excited. I hope I can be close to the temple during the open house and the dedication. Miss and love you all. Officially have ONE year in Chile.... throwback to a year ago when I was a little bit of a trainwreck in the airport when saying bye to my family HAHA #NOshame.

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...
