Week 26/76 Where's The Beef?

Somehow i messed up the number of weeks last week, so we are gonna name this one 26 and it's all good. 

A third of the way done!!! How did this even happen? I blinked and 6 months flew by! Yesterday I officially hit 6 months as a missionary, and I can hardly believe it. 

Not much happened this week, we had a conference and took a trip up north to Penco for a baptism of a family that my comp taught. 

Picture this: Your mom tells you that you guys are gonna get your favorite pizza after you go to the grocery store. The trip to the grocery store is super long and you are so tired and you have to wait for a long time, but you are super excited for the pizza. You love pizza from Papa Johns and cant wait to just eat and enjoy and the whole trip will have been worth it. Then you pull up to the Little Ceasers. Your heart drops. You came all this way, and you just get Little Ceasers. Of course the pizza is still good ans you still got to eat and you actually enjoyed the trip with your mom, it was just not how you planned it. 

That is what happened with our conference. In January we were told Elder Stevenson of the 12, would be coming to speak to Chile Concepción and the south mission! We've all been preparing, and we got up super early (4am) to be ready and waiting in the chapel at 7:30, we took a super long bus ride and sat and waited for a long time, and Elder Stevenson couldn't make it. We heard from Elder Godoy and Elder Walker of the seventy. It was a crazy day from start to finish, but we got the pizza, we got to hear from men called of God and I felt the spirit. So it all worked out, just not how I planned it! 

And although it's slow the work never stops! And there are always miracles! 

Oh and 2 brothers I taught in Collao got baptized this week!! 

6 months down, 1 year to go!!

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...
