Week 41/79 Servir, Vivir, Y Sobrevivir

(Serve, live, and survive)

Does anyone know if a dead cat outside your window is bad luck? Asking for a friend.

Winter started last week, and in case you haven't been keeping up with Chilean news, Chile is flooding. We'll parts of Chile. Luckily not the part I'm in, but keep us in your prayers. 

I didn't mentioned this to my mom, but one of my rainboots has a hole in the bottom, but hey what else are plastic bags for! 

We did some service this week and painted some walls bright blue, the only casualty being my black jacket, but it mostly washed out as we walked home in the rain. 

I hope everyone was as excited as we were to hear that there is a second edition of Preach My Gospel! I want a physical copy and I'd like to read the whole thing, but for now the digital version will do! 

They also changed our planner app to be under the same name, so me and my comp have had a fun time pulling out our Preach My Gospel book when anyone mentions something about the app. 

Along with the rain, the power went out in our church house (a short circuit or something) so church got cancelled yesterday. 
We had zone council vía Zoom, which is fine normally, but a little bit funny when it's free zoom and it kicks you out every 40 minutes!

Our only friend who is really progressing is Javier. He is very excited to change his life and has been reading the Book of Mormon. The only problem is that for the past 2 weeks he has been working in construction away from Yungay. But he gets back to Yungay on Tuesday! And he said he's definitely coming to church and wants to meet with us in person! 

And that's about it, we are on the lookout for other people who are prepared to accept the Gospel, and who aren't afraid to go to church when it's raining outside! 

Bueno, I hope you guys have a great week and enjoy the sun!

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...
