Week 22 - Rain, Rain, Go Away!


Week 22 June 11, 2018
Rain rain go away, come again another day!  Wow, this week it has rained almost every day!  Which was super crazy! I’ve caught a cold from it :( but thats okay cause I’m still up and working!  Doing what matters! We had 3 baptisms this week! Lisette (Chilena) Dina, y Bienne (Haitianos). Also, we had a wedding this week! Dina and Bienne got married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was literally so happy when they got married!!! And after they got married we were visiting with them in their house and Bienne (the husband) was talking with 2 other haitianos who are living in the same house but who arent married and he told them that if they don’t get married they are living in sin!  It was good!!!

It was a week full of craziness and miracles! I'll upload pics in just a sec... love you!  I’m doing good! It was a week super crazy and I’m still not sleeping good, but it was a week very good!  I’m trying to forget myself and focus on others and hopefully that will help!

How was the week for you guys? Do you have pictures to send?

I bought a coat here that is warm and waterproof, and one of the girls
goes home this cambio in 2 weeks so I’m gonna get some of her stuff too.  I bought rain boots in Tome, my other sector, but yesterday one of them got a hole and lets in water, so I’m gonna buy some new ones.  I bought a thumb drive and speaker today, I’m hoping that listening to General Conference talks and songs from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will help me fall to sleep sooner!

When you can, please send my new glasses, my contacts, the dresses or  skirts that I forgot, or if it’s easier I can buy stuff here, but there isn’t a lot of modest options for dresses or skirts.  5 pairs of garments! Oils... ones good for sleeping, vitamins, Slim and Sassy (the pills if possible, if not, the oils are okay) lavender, Serenity, and idk, other oils but I can’t remember exactly what.. ones you think are good for sicknesses... Deep Blue Rub! I’m not sure exactly what else...

I think that Marshall is going to be called somewhere Spanish speaking!  I think In Central or South America... not sure exactly where yet.. I’ll send my final guess next week!  How is Marshall feeling about his mission?

I get the letters in the mail about every month now because I live far away from the mission office... the problem with sending the letters directly to where I live, is I don’t know how long I’m going to live in this part of the country and by the time the letters get here I’m gonna be in a different part probably.. I think it’s good to keep sending them to the mission address!

We are doing good. I’m trying to focus on serving instead of just my wants and needs and that has helped.

I’ve got to go now, I’ll write more next week! Love you all!!!

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 - Elder Bragg, Speaking Spanish and Hard Work

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...

Week 24 - Teaching in 3 Languages!

Image
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...
