3 months of my mission have come and gone! I can not decide
if that is a lot or not. But it feels like no time at all. I am so grateful to
be here with the very kind and loving people of Chile. Almost too kind. When we
contact people and write down their address and phone number to visit them at
another time they are so amble!!! They are so kind and loving just hugging you
throughout the whole conversation and you get so stink-in excited that they have
desires to learn more about the Gospel of Christ. But most times they were just
enjoying the conversation and when we actually make the trip to visit them they
are always surprised we actually came. Better than being straight up rejected
though I would say.
This past Saturday our Zone of Penco participated in this
huge church event in the Plaza. Us and other churches had booths of information
on their church. We used the time to share what we know to be true and what
separates us from other churches. The Book of Mormon and the truth that we can
have our families with us for all of eternity! We got a lot of attention
because we were the only church there who had Gringos.
Oh yeah! And more about Chile. When you ask someone how they
are, they tell you exactly how they are. Which even means bad. "I am so bad", "I
am so sick", "I do not have work". It is always such a surprised. They will tell
you if you have gained too much weight or if you are not eating enough. They
have the best intentions the whole time too.
Till next week!
Con Amor,
Hermana Mckenzie Lance
That sounds like a fun day and like cultural shock, but any culture that friendly is fun!
ReplyDeleteI should think the whole city population would stop by your booth just to look at you. Gotta use all your advantages...especially your sense of humor and great smile. Love you PL!!
