Week 38/76 Miracles In The Rain

This week was one of the best, just miracle after miracle! 

We ate cake! And I now have a growing collection of those Chinese cat things. 

We had a crazy district council, our STLs couldn't make it, so the zone leaders didn't come, and one district leader was sick, so we ended up as a mix matched set of 6 missionaries, we called it district Quiyunpihues (key-yun-pea-ways). 
We held hamsters, ate ice cream, saw the cutest mushrooms, and winter has more or less started in yungay. 

It was the last week of the transfer, and we saw so many miracles, some of them thanks to the heavy rain!

We put 2 friends on date this week! After not having a single baptism in the 7 weeks we've been together, we are now planning two! 

Carmen felt the spirit so strongly, especially after the relief society councilor sang "let the holy spirit guide" as an unplanned musical number in our lesson. It rained the whole lesson!

Then the next day a lesson had canceled literally as we walked up to the door, so we walked towards the church, and decided to visit points in our map, the person we were looking for didn't have an address, but we started knocking doors anyway. It started pouring rain, the last door we decided to knock, she opened the door and was like "what are you doing out in the rain, come in!" It was Viviana! Just who we were looking for! 

She start reading the book of Mormon the same day, and in our second lesson, she accepted a date for the end of the month! Mi-la-gros!! 

The last miracle, was something that is probably only important to me, but it reminded me that God knows me and He loves me. We had stake conference in Chillan, which meant getting into a bus and driving with our branch to chillan, enjoying the conference, and heading back in the van. It wasn´t until we pulled up to the church in Yungay that I realized I didn't have one of my tags. The one that had all my stickers and that I've been using my whole mission, and I was sad to have lost it. But I thought it's just a tag, I have others, and maybe for some odd reason someone else needed my tag more than I did. Even though I was sure I had put it on this morning and it had fallen off at the church, I found it sitting on my bed when I climbed onto my bunk. 

It was a really good week, with good food, and good friends, and so many tender mercies! 

We have transfers this week, on Friday, and I'll find out tomorrow if I'm staying or leaving, but I am just super feliz, and I hope you all had a good week as well! 

I love you all, and I want to hear from you!

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...
