Week 51/76 When In Chile...

Don't try the hot chocolate. 

The weather has been very bipolar, with heavy rain and wind, but a random sunny day every 2 days. Today is very sunny which would be very nice but we can't leave because of possible protests.

We started the week with 1.75 working umbrellas, and now we only have .8 of a working umbrella.

We tried to start English classes here in Yungay, and no one showed up. Rude.

We had a missionary activity in the stake center and shared about the Book of Mormon. Then afterwards we waited for an hour for some Papa Johns pizza before heading back to Yungay. What better way to celebrate Russel M Nelson's birthday, then with the future generation of missionaries! 

Almost all of our friends right now: I know I should be baptized
Us: Oh perfect, how about...
Them: Don't pressure me! My moment will arrive. 
@Carmen, Yessica, Javier, Cecilia, and Hernan

But in spite of the rain and the rejection, we keep trying every day, we keep praying and we keep inviting all to come unto Christ, because "Dios no ha cesado de ser un Dios de milagros". Mormón 9:15 

I love you all, have a maravillosa semana! 

-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...
