Hello!
Happy Fathers Day to all you dads out there. Youre the best.
And a special shoutout to my dad, who is the best dad EVER. My favorite most
recent memories with him are playing football, working with our computers and
entertainment system, watching football and basketball, driving in my truck
listening to some of my dads radio favorites (one of which does include What
Makes You Beautiful by OneD, believe it or not) and all his oldies, dirt
biking, and so much more! Good memories. My dad is such a good example for me
and is such a true disciple of Christ! I am so very blessed to have him as my
dad. Hes mine! Dad, I hope you had the best Fathers Day ever and I love you! So
much!
So Alejandro got confirmed yesterday! It was awesome! On the
down side, Milena and Oriana did not come to church, but we aint never givin
up.
This week Chile played Bolivia in soccer! I was out walking
the streets and working of course, but every time Chile scored a goal, I could
hear cheers and whistles and "GOLLLL!!!" coming from every house and
apartment in the vicinity. So that was pretty cool to hear. ;)
I am in love with Chile! I am enchanted by its hills and
coast and secret passageways, with twisty lanes and secret dirt roads that lead
to gorgeous ocean views. I love colectivos and palm trees and micros and just
the people here! They may talk my ear off constantly but theyre awesome.
This week we had a conference of zones! We got to watch some
awesome videos, including the 80s Armor of God video! That was exciting.
We got a new missionary tool, all the pamphlets in a little booklet for us
missionaries. Theyre also making a DVD with a collection of videos for each
lesson, coming soon. :)
This week we had a SocSoc activity (Relief Society) for
Fathers Day where we had dinner and listened to some oldies music! Ah it was so
much fun. It was also Leo's birthday this week! We went to their house for
lunch and they made us Colombian food! Beans and rice and meat and arepas and
avocado and fried plátano and chicharrones and yeah. It was really good. Except
I dont know how I feel about chicharrones. Hm... anyway.
Me and Hna Hanks have decided that member meals take away
free agency. We dont get to choose what or how much we eat. Im pretty sure
thats Satans plan! Nah jk the members are so nice for feeding us and giving us
what they have and its usually very delicious! I just wish they didnt feed us
so much cuz I cant eat it all! Haha.
We watched Together Forever this week, and its a really good
80s/90s church movie. Apart from the music, Im a fan. :)
Although we had a couple lame days this week, we have had
some good days. And when times are down, we take the advice from one wise Remus
Lupin and go buy some chocolate. It doesnt just make you feel better after a
dementor attack, but it really does make you happier! Proven fact.
This week I read probably the coolest chapter in the Book of
Mormon. Mormon chapter 8. I practically highlighted the entire chapter. And I
reread it over and over again! Every time Moroni is speaking, I just think,
this is the same guy who appeared to Joseph Smith! THe same guy who's on top of
every temple! This guy is impressive. He has so much power and wisdom in his
words! I felt like...after that...I just felt like I understood some things in
life so much more, and what this life is all about... I am so grateful for the
Lord's prophets! They are inspiring.
I know that the Book of Mormon is true and it is the best!
Hna Hanks and I get into such in depth, fanatic discussions about it, and its
awesome. We are big fans of the Book of Mormon. :)
Well! I guess until next Wednesday, people! Enjoy the summer
weather there while I freeze!
I love you all and thanks for your support every day. :)
Love,
Hermanita Amy Schrader
