Oh my heck, I can`t believe she is getting married! (okay, lie, I can
believe it), haha but honestly I`m so happy for everyone! MY SISTER IS
GETTING MARRIED! Things just seem to be looking up don`t they? That`s
always a good feeling. These past few weeks I`ve had several moments
where I have felt sad that I won`t be there for everything, especially
the wedding but I don`t know, I just feel good. I feel like you are all
doing so well and blessed that I should be happy, it doesn`t matter if
i`m there or not right now because I will be someday. I bet the temple
was an awesome experience, I remember my first time and just feeling
really good. I had an experience when I went through for the first time
here in Chile and I remember just feeling a peace within me, and at that
moment I couldn`t really understand it because I felt so much turmoil
around me, but I think now more than ever, I understand. I feel like i`m
finally feeling so much more confident in who I am, in what i`m doing,
and more than anything, in God`s plan for me, and for us as a family.
Well
as for my companion, he is going in for an interview today. Oh..forgot
to mention, today we are in Viña! I`m going to an eye doctor to check
out my eye and he is going to talk with President today as well. I hope
that all goes well. We tried calling President like 4 times and he never
answered and my companion kind of lost the motivation to keep trying.
Last night I suggested he call one more time, especially because we are
in Viña today and he did, and finally he answered. So I will let you
know how that whole situation goes down.
When
we went to Illapel I was able to pick up some food from the grocery
store but there wasn`t anywhere to eat, but it`s all good! Maybe I will
be able to find somewhere in Viña today? Like a McDonalds! (that sounds
so good to me, you have no idea hahah). We are going to be here till
about 4 or 5 o`clock today. Our zone conference went really well (this
one was just with the zone leaders, not the president). Oh funny story
to go along with that, so there are about 22 missionaries in our zone
and about 18 of us were sitting there before listening to the hymns
playing from the zone leader`s Ipod and all of a sudden Micheal Jackson
comes on, Thriller!! Hahahah everyone kinda looked up and started
laughing, then the zone leader came in and was went bright red then told
us that ¨we all have music we shouldn`t...¨...his companion about died.
But the conference was good, we went over how to teach better, a little
bit more simple and clear. We also went over how to extend good
invitations. Things I already knew..haha just kidding, I can always
learn!
As
far as teaching this week, this might have been the slowest week in my
mission, we had 3 lessons this entire week! Part of that was due to the
zone conference and then on Thursday I had to
go to Illapel again to do my visa papers. 8 Months into the mission and
they finally are ready to start the process to I can receive my Chilean
I.D. card. So we were there almost all day. But we need to be teaching
more. Either we have to contact a lot more or think of some new way to
find new investigators. But the work is going well! I can`t really
complain, in fact even though it`s been a slow week, I feel good. I just
want to have more success! Hopefully that will come with a little more
time.
Oh!
Both of the packages arrived! The one that you sent way back in March
arrived on the 8th of May and the one you sent April 21 arrived the 2nd
of May. But I got them both! First of all, all of the treats and
everything look so good (I have only eaten a little of the cookies and
cream and a few starbursts because I want to conserve it haha), but I
loved reading the letters from everyone and the new journal! OH! Other
really awesome story, they found my old journal!!!! I have no idea how
because I lost it in the street but the zone leaders gave it to me at
the conference. I can`t believe it, I thought i`d never see it again.
Seriously, crazy. But anyway, that water bottle is going to be a life
saver, especially in Los Vilos. I still haven`t opened the letters in my
birthday package because I want to save them for my birthday, or should
I open them now?? I don`t know, you tell me. But thank you so much for
sending the packages they are awesome! Even though love isn`t showed
through gifts and treats...it doesn`t hurt ;) haha.
Well
sounds like you will be having a busy week with Nichole, painting, and
cleaning up the house a bit. I have to say I`m definitely jealous of the
weather, it`s starting to get pretty cold here in the mornings and
nights. The days are okay but they are also getting
pretty...CHILE...hah. But seriously, I miss the Utah`s climate. Be sure
to send a ton of pictures of the wedding ! I love you all so much I hope
that you have an amazing week!!
