Week 39/76 It's getting Chile!

I'm staying in Yungay with Hermana Condori! I don't know how we pulled that off, but we get 6 more weeks together! 
We started off good. We had some fries that weren't as good as they looked, we had ice cream that was as good as it looked, did a lot of service, and walked in a lot of rain. 

Service this week included doing laundry, helping roll out sopaipillas with beer bottles (good makeshift rolling pins), setting up for a 7 year olds birthday party, and returning a lost cat to its owner. What can I say, we love to serve! 

We got front row seats to watch a small house burn down, that was a little scary, but Chilean firefighters are really good at their job and I don't think anyone got hurt. 

We had a lesson with our amigo, Jorge, this week, and out of nowhere he's decided to be baptized! Well not really out of nowhere, he's been coming to church for over a year to support a friend, but recently realized that he's felt the spirit and wants to take the next step to get to the temple! That was a huge miracle! Yay Jorge! 

Our other amigos couldn't make it to church, and we have to move their baptism dates, but we are working on it! 

I can't believe June is here, coming and going really. We still have another week before Winter starts in Chile, but if this is what Fall feels like, I might be pulling out my sleeping bag very soon! Rumor has it that Yungay gets snow, so maybe it will be a white 4th of July! 

Thanks for keeping me and the small town of Yungay in your prayers, I love you guys! 

Have a great week, tell me your favorite scripture story!

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...
