Week 47/76 Can You Lead Music?

We had interviews with President in the afternoon on Wednesday, so we had lunch in yungay and then spent the afternoon in Chillan, we got rained on heading home, but it was worth it. One of the APs found out I can lead music and said I'd be leading in the next zone conference, I'll let you know how that goes. 

We have been trying to find new people to teach all week, with little luck but lots of animo! 

We had a relief society activity, we made and ate picarones and calzones rotos, maybe don't look that up in Google translate. 
Our friend Carmen even showed up to the activity! She still doesn't want to commit to a baptism date, but poco a poco she's opening up to the spirit. 

Highlights of the week:

A few months ago I got a message from a couple who were investigating the church, they live in a different area, but I helped answer their questions and they got in contact with the elders in their area. This week those elders shared with the mission that the couple has set a date for their wedding and will be baptized together the following day! I didn't teach or even meet them but just from a few messages in Facebook I found myself attached and so excited for their wedding and baptism next month! 

*knocking doors one afternoon, a guy walks by with a cool bucket hat* 
Me: I like your hat!
The guy: Nooooo!!!! 

Jorge is a regular sacrament passer in the Rama Yungay! 

The sunsets this week just choose vsco filters and went crazy. The only downside is that after the beautiful sunset we keep working in the cold and dark. Lots of people tell us that we shouldn't be out and we aren't going to find anybody when it's late (6:45pm) but the work of the Lord doesn't stop even when the Chileans go to bed early! 

We keep working, we keep seeing miracles, and we have 3 weeks left of the transfer to find, teach, and baptize! 

Thanks for all the love and support, son los mejores!!!

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...
