Hello everyone!
Cambios
happened. Transfers. I got transferred! I am now in a branch called
Miramar, in the cerro (hill) of Playa Ancha, in Valparaíso. Playa Ancha
is legitimately called the City of Wind - and I can't tell you how true
that is. It whips my hair around and breaks it off and tangles it up!
LAME. It is also a city full of hills! Up and down all day long. I
swear, by the time i leave this sector, I'll have huge leg muscles and
probably be bald. Ugh that sounds gross. lol JK that won't happen but I
really do already love this sector! My new companion is from CHILE! Her
name is Hermana Oliva, and she is from Concepción. She is a sweetheart.
She has been in the mission for exactly 2 months!
The day before cambios, the assistants called to tell me that I
would be training again - but not a super new hermana, I'll just be
finishing the training of a 6-weeker. I can already tell that Im going
to learn a lot from her, and I hope she can learn from me too! She is
incredible!
The good thing about Playa Ancha is that you can still see the ocean!!!
That made me so happy. I love living by the ocean. I definitely have to
take some pics. :)
But anyway, leaving Recreo was super sad! I
LOVE Recreo and I am going to miss it so much. I love the sector, the
people, everything. I will miss the Rojas family and Hna Sonia and Leo
and Milo and my comp Hermana Paicely. Ah I'll miss everything about that
place! I can actually see Recreo from Playa Ancha. haha its cool.
Here in Miramar, our branch has 2 sets of missionaries, us, and a
set of Elders. They are cool! This ward has been having lots of baptisms
lately, so we are gonna continue with that trend! haha. One of Hna
Oliva's converts is named Francisco, and hes like 26. He's super cool!
And this Sunday, yesterday, he got the priesthood! And in two weeks he
will baptize his best friend Patricio! SO COOL.
We have already seen miracles here. It's amazing. We talked to a
little 7 year old in the street and she led us to her dad. Turns out he
doesnt believe in God, and we asked him to pray to asks if he exists,
and the little 7 year old said, "Dont worry, I will obligate him to
pray. He exists daddy, and He made us! He made everything!" Oh, the
faith of a child. It was so adorable.
We also taught a family named the Silva family. The parents are
less actives and the mom is an RM. Theyve been inactive for 12 years!
And they just started coming back. We went to teach them, because their 2
kids aren't members! And we talked a long time with the son and the
mom, and then the mom started to sob into the son's shoulder and said,
"I taught so many people and helped them to believe, and I couldn't do
it with my own kids!" Poor girl. We are helping them a lot. Their
daughter, Milsi, is ready for baptism but wants her dad to do it before
he leaves on his 4 month trip. We will see what happens!
