Happy Birthday
to Adam! He is 24! I am so lucky to have a brother like him. I love the
heck out of him and we have always had tons of fun together. Wish him a
happy birthday!
Alaena - Happy 22nd! Love you! Youre the best! Have fun in Spain!
Not much time today, people. I am so sorry!
But
just wanted to go over the basics of this week - Transfers are
Wednesday! I might be in another city by next monday or I might have a
new comp. But then again, I might be in the same place with the same
comp so we shall see. ;)
I love Chile! People here are sweet and adorable, sometimes a little lazy and sometimes a little crazy, but i still love them.
I
understand all Spanish! Officially! Milo used to mutter sarcastic
comments and jokes under his breath, and i never understood what he was
saying, but NOW I DO! And he is hilarious.
I had the best day in the
mission this week! We taught our family, the Rojas family. We arrived to
see their faces sad and the air tense...they told us we arrived right
in time. They had been fighting and arguing, and there was a bad spirit
about the place. But we listened to them, loved them, and taught them
part of the Plan of Salvation and baptism. They agreed to get baptized
and even shook our hands and said, DEAL! I love them so much already and
they are amazing. They said they have all these catholic things up
everywhere, the saints, the virgin, and no one has come to help them.
But we did, and we came right at the right time. I dont brag that it was
our idea or our power that helped them. It was all God. After teaching
them, I offered a prayer with a blessing on the family adn the house,
and after we said, Amen, Carolina looked up, with tears in her eyes, and
said to her husband, "Do you feel that? That relief?"
IT WAS THE BEST FEELING EVER.
I
also learned this week that things happen for a reason. Whatever
happens in life, whatever obstacle or hardship, is either a consequence
from an action, or just a trial that was meant to happen that will make
you better than you were before. I have learned so much in my life, and
certain hard events have made me that much stronger. (2 Nephi 2:2) I
also learned that fasting really does make you more sensitive to the
Spirit, and that I love the people in Recreo so much! We had ward
conference, which was huge, and me and Hna Hanks and Leo sang a couple
special numbers from the primary hymn book which really brought the
spirit and people loved it.
I am SO grateful for my family and i am so glad that I get to live with them forever!
I love you guys! All of you!
Enjoy your week. Hasta lunes!
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!
