Week 70/76 Chicken Nuggets, Conferencia, Y Cambios

This week was super divertido.
Mcdonalds chicken nuggets are not as good in Chile. I still think they need Chick-fil-a here. 
I also presented in a zone conference for the first time. I was really nervous, but it actually went better than I thought it would. Who knew Family Feud would be a good dynamic practice in zone conference!
We had two intercambios. One in Chiguayante with Hermana Anderton, and the other was with Hermana Alcon here in Chillancito. I learned so much, they are such great missionaries. I love the opportunity to see and work with other hermanas. 

As far as amigos go, Adrian accepted a baptismal date!
Everyone else has been MIA. So I'll let you know how things go this week, but keep Adrian in your prayers! 

This week I've been reading in Alma and it talks about preparedness and true intentions. I think a lot of the mission, and life in general, is about our preparedness and our true intention. 
In Alma 43:19,26,45-46 it says ¨Moroni had prepared his people with breastplates and with arm-shields, yea, and also shields to defend their heads, and also they were dressed with thick clothing.¨ Then it talks about how the lamanites weren't prepared. They had the intention to just take up their swords and destroy the nephites. ¨Nevertheless, the Nephites were inspired by a better cause, for they were not fighting for monarchy nor power but they were fighting for their homes and their liberties, their wives and their children, and their all, yea, for their rites of worship and their church. And they were doing that which they felt was the duty which they owed to their God.¨

When our true intention is something good, when we come prepared, and are dressed with the armor of God (see Preach My Gospel, chapter 2), we can be strengthened and have the confidence that God will deliver us through the fight. 
Keep fighting! 

Love you guys!
-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...
