Week 27/76 Where's Hualqui??

In case you haven't talked to my mom, heard from me, or seen on facebook, I got transferred!! I'm now in Hualqui (wall key). Its a small town south of Concepción. 

My new companion is Hermana Faliveni! She is from Argentina, even though her last name is Italian. Its only been a week but we've had a party!! 

We don't have any people progressing, but we've been working hard and with faith we will have baptisms this month!! 
For national women's day on the 8th we gifted flowers to the elders while everyone wished us a happy day!! They were good sports! 

We tried a new drink called harina tostada, which menas roasted/toasted flour. And it tastes just like the milk from a bowl of frosted mini wheats, a 10/10 from me! But I heard people also put it on watermelon and lots of other things. 
The same family that gave us the harina tostada has like 5 swimming pools! They were all empty and it looked like the perfect place for a ghost story! 

We took photos in a huge field of flowers and accidently bent Hermana Faliveni's glasses! 

I've been getting to know the members and theres an abuelo named Hugo who can only say a few phrases because of an accident he was in, and although its a lot of 'ahí no mas' the conversation is never dull!! 

I think I'm really gonna like Hualqui and all the people! 

I miss you all and hope you have a great week!! 
- 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...

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...
