Week 11/76 Un Bautismo Del Día De Acción De Gracias!

This week I attended my first zone conference. It was all in spanish so I only understood like 65% of it, but it was still really good. 

We have hot water again and a working stove, which we used to roast s'mores.   

We tried some really tangy flan jello stuff, it was a lot by itself, but it'd probably be good as a layer in a cake. 

For Thanksgiving we were home most of the day, and in the afternoon we had a baptismal interview with our friend Melissa. But we still bought lemon pie to celebrate at the end of the day, and we wrote what we were grateful for. 

If I had a nickel for everytime this year that I attended a baptism and then ate pizza afterwards, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. 

The baptism was on Saturday and it was so cool! I still can't believe I had my first baptism 4 weeks into my mission, but the spirit was so strong and I loved teaching Melissa! 

This week we've been doing lots of contacting. In the streets, on Facebook, and via references. We talk to so many people! 

We took down our Thanksgiving decorations and put up our Christmas tree!! We are so excited for Christmas  even though it feels like the middle of July most days. 

I can understand spanish! Ok, like 75% of what people say to me, but it is so cool!! I am still practicing speaking, and forming sentences, but I have lots of opportunities to talk and practice. 

Chile is amazing, it is so beautiful, and the people are so nice! 

I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. Send me emails! Love you guys!

Week 75/76 White And Ready To Harvest

I had the opportunity to teach about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon in english for the first time this week!  I asked them if they assist another church, when I was trying to ask if they attend another church and a few other spanish words slipped in, but it went well and they agreed to read 3rd Nephi!   We had 2 intercambios this week. With hermana Toro and hermana Guevara. I always learn so much and enjoy getting to know the hermanas!  We also laugh a bunch and become good friends!  We picked golden berries and had fresh golden berry juice for lunch. We also ate some pastries like the ones from Brave and Hermana Ortiz told me that in spanish they don't have a scottish accent. We had probably the worst lunch of my mission this week. Cold tuna with cheese and onions on top. I didn't mind seafood before, but that was asqueroso!  On Thursday we were waiting for people to show up to english class (no one did) I decided to check my email, and was surprised to...

Week 12/76 Milagros Y Un Nuevo Mes

This week was so crazy, but first off thank you everyone who sends me emails. I love reading about your lives and hearing from you!  Other than that it's been adventurous.  We know this member and we visit him all the time. He's 95 years old and he's so cute. His daughter is at his house to help him and we just go talk to them and she always gives us so much food. She's so nice and we just love visiting with them. We visit these other members, Dora and Marisol, all the time. Marisol is blind but they're always super sweet and they always help me with my Spanish. I'm so grateful for all the members here.  On Wednesday we had a crazy thing happen. There was a drunk guy in his car and he was trying to talk to us and then we were like 'okay here's our pamphlet' and he was like 'get in my car come with me'. So we are trying to get away and we get in  another car with this couple and we thought they were going to drive us away but then they got out...
