Week 14 - Remember Your CPR = Church, Pray, Read



Week of April 16, 2018
I’m on.
Hey, so I almost never have time to write what I want, so I’m writing my thoughts on paper beforehand throughout the week and uploading pictures of them here this week!  There will also be a video in the groups folder!

Hi Fam,
This Week was back to normal (thank goodness).  There weren’t any crazy moments or scaryness! The best thing that happened this week was that we went to the temple with Y___, her cousin L___a, & her palolo (boyfriend) S_____.  Y_____ is going to be baptized next Saturday & her cousin L____ the proxima.

A little about Y____.  She is 16 years old. Catolico.  Didn’t liek the church, so started going to different churches.  Didn’t like any of them, so stopped going all together. The missionaries knocked on her door for about 2 years before she opened the door to Hna. Helms & me.  She’s been in our group de enfoque for a month now. She has any & every question! We’ve taught leccion 1 four times now, & she understand everything.

But she doesn’t just learn.  She applies everything to her life.  And then she teaches it. Her cousin L___ is interested & is probably going to be baptized because of her.  Her boyfriend S_____, who doesn’t want anything to do with religion, is not open to us . Her Sister E____ is coming to church for the first time this week.  She shares all of her knowledge with those she loves. Also, she has tons of questions about missionaries. She wants to contact people with us. She wants to be a missionary!

The best food that I ate this week was pan con chicharon.  Basically bread with chunks of bacon inside. Diabetes in your hand, but Heaven on Earth!  Also, I had a salad of tomatoes, tuna, mayo, avacados, & chicken with lettuce. With lemon and salt.  Super Rico! The best salad I’ve had in my mission!

The most different food I ate this week was soup with garbanzo beans and flan.  The textures are just super weird.

The thing most hard this week were our numbers.  The ward went to Santiago this week for the temple and we only had like 5-ish leccions with a member present.  The least we’ve been asked to have is 23. Well, our numbers can only go up from here!

My companeras are super awesome! I learned a lot from my last trio. I love both of my hermanas!

A think that helped me this week is remembering the basics.  CPR = Church, Pray, Read. It this is all you can do, that’s okay.

I know that God listens to our prayers and He wants to bless us.  So keep up your good work and it will happen.

Thanks for sending a past picture of me.  That seems like so long ago!

Do you have any pictures of videos of my dances or cabarets?  I would love if you could send them to me! My companeras have asked me about them and a few of my investigators and ward members.  Thanks!

Love you all lots!  Hope your week was as good as mine!  I’m off.

Week 13 - My 3 Month Mark!

Image
Week of April 9, 2018 Hola hola!  Today marks 3 months in the misión!!!  I’m on! Here are some of my highlights so far.  Getting to know the people in both Mexico and Chile, watching conference in Spanish, and visiting the temple! Being able to experience the country of Chile.  Becoming fluent in Spanish. Strengthening my testimony. Impacted other people for the good! I’ve also been able to Mexico Temple and the Concepción Temple (the outside).  Missionaries in the misión Concepción don’t get to visit the Santiago temple... are you on the Facebook page for my misión? I sang a duet (kind of a duet) for a practice and there might be a video.. if so, don’t laugh, I was super nervous!!! I feel like I understood most all of General Conference (90 percent!) when we watched it in Spanish.  But I want to read it in English so that I can actually study the words.. Haha, it’s much much easier understanding Spanish then it is speaking Spanish......

Week 8 March 5, 2018 Wow, the time here has flown! I only have 4 weeks left in this transfer! Crazy!!! The days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days.. This week I got called on during a zone conference (with Elder Bragg of the 70) and I actually understood the question and answered (i think) decently! The conference with him was super amazing though, I really love hearing and learning more about what I should be studying right now! I think I'm trying to balance 6 or 7 different topics of study, along with language! Its crazy but so good! My brain has never hurt this much but never felt so good at the same time! I have a sick watch line (sorry, no pictures) and my freckles are coming out! Makes me so happy!!! I love the sun, and am trying to enjoy it before it gets super cold! There are SOO many dogs here! Usually they are behind gates and or are sleeping, but at times there are a lot or really big ones around us, and one starts barking, and then the othe...

Hey all! So this week has been super crazy! My friend Hermana Rueda finished her mission and leaves tomorrow for her house.. Tomorrow the new missionaries come to the mission office and... GUESS WHAT!!! IM TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!! How crazy is that? I feel like the blind leading the blind.. But I know that God can do all things, and that with his help, I can teach someone how to be a missionary... But other than that, I’m staying here in Parral YAY! This Saturday we are going to have the baptism of Chelo (haitian) and he is super excited for his day to finally get here! Have you all seen pictures of the temple in Concepcion yet?  If not, look them up! It’s so pretty! I can’t wait for the open house and then the dedication! Can I just say how hard it is speaking 3 languages?  I’m getting better with my Spanish. My English is worse than before, but sometimes I teach in English also, and sometimes we have people who don’t understand English or Spanish so we speak Cr...
