We had a great week this week! We had some crazy stuff go on and
of course we where tried with tons of trials but we also got blessed with a
bunch of hidden blessings. Also we have
felt some more little earthquakes, they are not big enough to be earthquakes
but it is always a little bit weird to feel the earth move. I also threw up this week. We found a bunch of people to come to church
with us and the ward is so great! So many things are happing!
Okay random cool thing is that last night there was the lunar
eclipse, I have no idea if that is spelled like that but yep, the moon turned
red and it was pretty weird to see the moon like that. I have just come to realize that life in Chile
is well, life in Chile ha-ha. But my companion and I are doing great! We have
been so blessed to become really good friends, these past few weeks have flown
by and I get a sick feeling in my stomach every time I look at the calendar on
our wall! What is happening to the time, as if it was a dream my mission has
come and flew by and I feel like I’m just trying to hold on to the time I have
left. I often find myself praying that
time will slow down, I sure hope that time does slow done, I feel great to be
working so hard with my companion, its amazing to see two strangers come
together under one cause and become the greatest of friends, how great this
gospel is!
Another funny thing that happened was to find out that my
companion is an Eagle Scout, we talked about how my whole life I will have
regrets on not getting my eagle, he told me that every time that he enters the
"nest" he will think of me! Hahaha what a joke! I cant believe that
I’m a scout drop out, that really has become a regret in my life. What does this have to do with my life in the
mission? It made me realize that I will and am living this life as a missionary
without any regrets, and I’m so determined to finish all my goals that I have
had and have! What a blessing it is to live the life of a missionary, all I do
is focus myself on other people! And when I lose myself in the missionary work
I seem to always find myself! wow que genial!
Yes its true, this week I threw up, I don’t now if it was
because I have been eating straight oatmeal for a couple of days or if I ate
something really bad in lunch but what happened was that I went and threw up in
my bathroom, hahhahaha. It was not as
bad as many people may think, I felt bad but the Lord gave me the chance to
calmly make it to the bathroom and take off my tie hahaha. But after that I called the nurse, she told
me to drink bunches of water, I did and got a blessing which was so awesome,
then we went back out to work! I love and I take pride in the fact that I have
worked everyday in my mission, no matter what has happened I have dedicated my
time and attention though the Lord!
We have some great investigators who are progressing a bunch! We
are finding that "special someone" to baptize this month and
obviously help. I have found that many
want to change their lives but few will actually try to do it! Its amazing to
think about how many people are all talk, but few are action. I am so blessed
to have a mother and father who work hard to make things happen, I love leaving
my comfort zone to make things happen!
Another great thing from my companion is that we both love mate,
is so great to both drink tons of mate, after the mission we will all get
together to drink some! But this week a huge miracle passed, we were returning
to our house hungry and did not have anything in the house but oatmeal
hahahahaha. So as we walked passed a
small store we bought some bread, the lady asked if we wanted anything else and
we kindly told her we did not have money until a couple days later and we
started to leave and she told us to wait and came out with two empanadas. It was a straight up miracle, we left and with
tear filled eyes thanked the Lord for this great woman who literally
disappeared, there are great people her in Chile,
This
gospel is the greatest thing that has happened in my life, thank you all for
your prayers!

We made some soup last night; it was made out of a chicken broth
cub we found behind our pantry with salt, hard bread and lots of love! Gotta
love that mission life!
P.S.
