Week 17/76 Cats Of Collao

Golden things that happened this week:

-We had another Blitz to find new people in our area

- We visited with some members on their 31 wedding anniversary, they told us their story and shared their really good cake with us!

-We had interviews with President and I presented our amigo in the district council all by myself while my companion was in her interview, it was a little scary to stand in front of everyone and explain it all in Spanish, but I did it!!

-I tried a candy called 'Tubitos' it tasted like the bottom of a peanut butter bar

-We walked a lot

-It's been hot, but apparently because we are right by the ocean, the days are usually overcast, so that's nice

-We had lunch with a family who has an 8 year old and a 10 year old, and that was wild. Kids always seem to be the best at insulting the little Spanish I know, but also wanting to talk to me.

-We met some new people and gave them a Book of Mormon, but we had to go back to get a second one for their friend, and when we returned to drop off the Book of Mormon they were sitting on the couch reading the book we left with them!!

-Our friend who lives outside of our area has a baptism date with the elders!

-I have a camera to take pictures now!


The first week of this year is already off to a great start!


I don't have many photos of this week, but enjoy the cats of collao, a street sign, graffiti, and me and hermana Garcia sitting at a bus stop!


With love,

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...
