Week 19/76 A Week In The Fire Nation

This week was crazy, like every week. It felt like the most productive of the transfer. 

Last Monday we made empanadas with the bishop's wife. 

On Tuesday we didn't have water for a couple hours, which is always a party. 

We ate at home 3 times this week, which was unusual but it was alright. 

We found a bunch of new people, had some super powerful lessons, put an amiga on date to be baptized next month, and walked so much. I completed 4 months as a missionary! and I finished reading the Book of Mormon in english for the first time as a missionary! 

I learned that Hermana Hiatt and Redding were renaming the different sections of our area, things like Mt.Everest, Jurassic Park, Wakanda, and the Fire Nation. The fire nation just happens to be the one of the furthest, hottest areas of our area, where we go pretty much every day. 

We were melting this week, except for one day that was randomly really cold. 

They also informed us that they were assigning characters of Avatar and Lord of the Rings to us and various members of the ward. I am Tylee in Avatar, my companion is Mae. If it was Lord of the Rings, I am a hobbit named Mary, and she is Legolas. Just in case anyone else was curious. 

To end the week we found out transfer news!! My comp is going to be a capa (STL) in the neighboring sector (literally across the street), and I am staying here with a new companion! Hermana Hiatt is leaving our area. It was easier to say goodbye this time, and she will still be close by! 

It was a super awesome week, and the work is just getting started here in Collao, so I'm gonna keep working hard!

Love you all!

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...
