Week 9/76 Temblor!! Parte 2

This week was crazy. We got rained on! But we were still out 'knocking' doors and having lessons. 
We had Chilean tacos this week, they were pretty similar to american tacos, except hard shells don't exist here and they have rice instead of beans, and corn and guacamole, and it really wasn't that similar to tacos I've had before except that they called it tacos and it was in a tortilla with meat and cheese. But it was super bueno! 

We had a ward activity on Saturday in preparation for ward conference on sunday. It was so cute, they had a cute little airplane set up and everyone got a ticket to Easter Island where we played games and ate candy and learned about the gospel. But when everyone got back on the plane to go home, it crashed, and we got to dress up as angels and guide people to heaven, where they were judge for the things they did on Easter Island. It was super fun and helped everyone feel the spirit for ward conference. 

Then on Saturday night when we had gotten into bed, and were falling asleep, my bed shook a little, and at first I thought it might just be hermana Hiatt shifting around on her bed, until I remembered hermana Hiatt doesn't live in my casa, so I sat up and the bed continued to shake. It was an earthquake!! I woke up my companion, and the room shook again! The relief society president came to check on us, and my companion told me that it happens all the time here and it isnt really a big deal unless it starts splitting roads open. But everyone was ok and I survived my first Chilean earthquake, it was a 6.2! 

Later we were in a lessons  reading the book of mormon with with a member, and we heard her cat meow at the door, she asked me to let the cat in because she had 6 kittens waiting for her in the other room, so we got to see and hold tiny little kittens!

Today is the first super sunny day, so maybe summer really is coming! 

We did yoga with the presidents wife and got to see their house and have pizza and paint nails! 

Chile is so much fun, everyday I feel so blessed to live in this beautiful country doing a marvelous work! 

I hope you all have an amazing week this week! Send me emails, I love to hear from you! 
Chao, Hermana Pratt

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...

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...
