Hola familia!!!
Sometimes it feels like so much happens here that I
forget to write about it and it's as if fate is seriously trying to test
my devotion to my Life is an Adventure phrase!! First off the other
week when I went on divisions I forgot to mention something, remember
how I said there aren't any poisonous snakes in Chile, well apparently
that doesn't mean that there aren't snakes in general. We were walking
out of our apartment and saw what we thought was a stick, it wasn't,
turns out it was a snake that was about three feet long! We were
freaking out then all of a sudden this old chilean woman comes walking
out of her apartment with a shovel and a murderous look in her eye and
all of a sudden we weren't so concerned with the snake anymore. She hit
it and it was slithering away and was even ran over by a car but still
lived!! It was so cool. So I have a new companion and her names Hermana
Hughes from Arizona and she's crazy! She has this really big really loud
personality and has kind of a take charge attitude which is great
sometimes and other times not so much. For example I'm directing our
sector right now which is a little tough but for the most part I know
what I'm doing and where I'm going but even though my comp doesn't know
the sector sometimes she'll just start walking in one direction or
crossing the street or something and I have to be like no hermana it's
this way it's so funny. Also if she's not happy she'll let you know, it
wont affect her work and hasn't affected our companionship but I felt
bad because this week a pipe burst or something like that happened in
our building and we're on the third floor so we were fine from that but
for three days we didn't have any running water and they were the first
three days she was here. It was a definite adventure though because we
ended up filling up buckets of water from the emergency fire fighter
hose outside and showering with that but we had to ask members or other
people for drinkable water. It was a blessing in disguise though because
we got like three new contacts through asking for water. I'm not going
to lie this week has been a bit rough, directing my sector, facing
opposition etc. but the good thing is that I'm surrounded by people
willing to help me, my companion, wonderful members, and unseen angels.
This has been a long week but a growing week just the same and I'm
starting to see the real effects of that growth, in my testimony, in my
spanish, christlike attributes and such. It really is amazing. Oh I
forgot today for Pday we had an activity. We as missionaries spend
pretty much all of our time walking. Every day we walk for long periods
of time so care to guess what we did today on our one free day? We
walked!! We actually went on a hike up this huge hill just behind our
house but it was pretty funny because we had to take a collectivo into
the centro of town to meet up with our zone and then walk back out of
town and then past campos to finally get to the hill, then we climbed
up the hill. It was totally worth it though because I felt like I was
right back in Utah hiking and the view at the top was gorgeous!! We
didn't mess around either we went all the way to the top. It was super
bacan!!! Well that's about it for this week! We're teaching a couple of
gringos which is weird because we have to teach them in English but it's
given me an even larger perspective on just how true this church is!
Love you all so much! Church is true the book is blue and Moroni is
always on the ball!!

Hola!
So always there are ups and downs in everything and me and
comp decided nothing is for sure in the mission for example in this area
most the hnas stay for about 6 mouths and I was hoping for the same but
Ill be going to a new area tomorrow and getting a new companion! Im sad
to leave my frist area because its my frist but also because me and my
companion have been working hard this last month and we are just seeing
the sucses this next month we have 3 fechas lined up and a couple other
investgators who are very promising. Im also sad to leave my comp this
time has gone by so fast we wanted one more month together but our Papi
Celestial has other plans! Its also exciting to be going to see and know
other areas and to learn from my new companion its part of the mission!
Its
been a good week Im always amazed at some of the super piles members in
this ward there are a few that will do anything to help us missionaries
which we need and the investagators need its soo important to have
friends to help out we have this one little girl she 12 the first time
she went to church everyone wellcomed the whole yw loves her and she is
so excited for the girls camp coming up its really cool to see her being
so excited to go to church and i know this will help her in her life.
The other day we gave her, her own BOM she was so excited and the yw
wrote thier testiomonies in it.
Another milagro this week we
recieved a reveirce from this member who teacher seminary she has been
teaching the boys of a family in the ward and two of the friends have
been listening in. These boys where ready to recieve us the second time
we taught them they had both recived answers about the church and about
our message it was really cool when we asked them about it they talked
about feeling peace i know that people are prepared for us out there
just gotta find them!
I love you all stay true
its the little things that make the differences every day reading and
praying being prepared when others question what you believe I know this
church is true!
Hna Boully!
