Hola Todos!
This week has flown! It is so fun to see
all the mission calls from people at home! CONGRATS YALL! You are
entering the coolest work of your life.
Our Last district pic. Elder Passey (sitting) goes home this week to Utah.
This
week we had a Noche de Hogar with the Bishops family and played ´Quien
Soy¨. Like where you put a person from the scriptures on someone´s
forehead and they have to guess. Super fun. Also, the ovens are
different here in Chile and I totes burned a pan of brownies. I also
made mac and cheese on the stove with a frying pan. Yeah, this is how
missionaries do it. .)
Please appreciate this
typical Chilean meal that we had this week: Chilean version of tamales
(se llama Omitas, like a tamale without the meat), fried eggs, pork
chops, french fries, rice, ¨salad¨( which is tomato and onion), and
cantalope and watermelon for dessert. Yes, I love Chile.
Our English class is attracting lots of people and it is SUPER fun. I stinking wanna be an English teacher.
This
week we knocked a TON of doors. No bites. We contacted a lot. No bites.
Liz is changing stuff in her house so it is hard to teach her. Nico
is really willing but may have some mental health issues because he
doesnt make sense half the time. Conny is good but has some fears for
baptism. I never thought I would cry so much about other people. But I
do. You learn as a missionary that you really want to be worthy not for
yourself but for these people you are teaching. It is incredible.
Hermana Mckendrick and I sang in church this Sunday. We sang ¨Soy un Hijo de Dios¨ with harmony of course, acapella. It went well. :) I miss singing so so so much.
My comp and I tried Honeydew melon with Sprite. SO GOOD! The melons are all the rage right now in Chile.
One
thing that completely changed me as a missionary this week was the talk
¨Becoming Perfect Through Christ¨ by Elder Gerrit Wong. I suggest that
EVERYONE read this talk. It is incredible. It helped me realize that we
often have a skewed view of perfection. The truth is that perfection is a
process not fully reached on this earth. Patience is required.
I hit 4 months yesterday! Wow. Crazy.
Thank you all for you kind words and love! I can feel your prayers and love daily. MUCHO AMOR A TODOS!
