Well this week I got sick. I still followed the missionary schedule hahaha but my nose is a literal faucet. My sinuses are so inflamed and hurt so bad when I sneeze that my nose started bleeding. But good news: I was introduced to smelly tissues (Coconut Lime--it is pretty dope). I am all good though although there was one point yesterday where I was TIRED of being sick. We were walking to an appointment in the park and there was a bench and I just sat haha I had legit no energy (and Idk if you know me but I am like Mr. Energy) anyways... we ended up passing a haitian and taught him and it was all perfect timing!

This week was a lot of finding and knocking. We have 2 people named Fabian (17 years old and emo haha) and Jerallín (16 years old and AMAZING) who are progressing great, reading the BOM and the pamphlets we leave, and come to our activites! Sadly, they could not come to church. But Fabian already accepted baptism. His mom said no. We took out the scrips and taught her why it is necessary that he gets baptized. It was good and I hope that he progresses. 

This week I finally found a semi good bakery. I genuinely feel bad chileans do not know good food. We helped a family find a house here in this sector. And I thought I had experienced a bible bash until monday night. Storytime: we were finding returning members monday night and we get to this one house and her daughter answers the door and says her mom (the member) is busy. But she says she can talk to us. She then walks out with her bible. LOL I knew it was gonna be a mess. She pretended to not know anything. We started teaching her the restoration and like 5 minutes into it she just was like ok yeah everything you are saying makes sense but you guys have this guy who you worship right. Then tried to say smith. Yeah then she rants for like 45 minutes and we noticed that she had tons of scriptures marked. Every scripture she read had a blue scripture marked so forst off she totally lied saying that she did not know anything bc she basically just wanted to attack us. I tried to leave like 6 times, not bc I could not defend myself but bc I knew the conversation was going to go nowhere. Anyways in the end she would not accept a BOM, so I just thought well "BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM". 

Anyways I am good. We handed out over 1,000 temple invitations this week!

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...
