What in the world! I hit half way in the mission....9 months! It
has been 9 months that I have hardly felt pass by. Other than being a little
bit tired of sleeping in a twin size bunk bed in a sleeping bag for 9 months I
am doing just fine :) Now I actually like my water with gas and mayo with
almost everything especially my hot dogs.
But I am coming up on my full winter in Chile now. After a
Summer in the states and then in Mexico and then in Chile with only a week or 2
of rain in between I feel like it is only fair to finally get my winter. We left
the other Saturday to work in the afternoon with Fall like weather clothes and
at about 6 o clock we got drenched with a rain storm. Everyone says that the
rain came late this year but now that it has started it will not stop till
September.
I have to brag about our less actives this week. They have
been working so hard with their compromisos and the Ward has been so helpful.
They have great friends now and it has almost been a challenge to meet with
them because they are always receiving invitations for activities by the
members.
We also had a Zone conference recently. Our president
introduced a challenge he had for us. He was going to send a companionship out
in the street to look for someone to teach and they were suppose to bring them
into our conference to watch the church video called Gracias a que El vive. And
then talk with them about it after. He promised this companionship that they
would be able to find someone because we would all be praying for them. We were
a room of about 50 missionaries. So as the Elders left we prayed and prepared, not knowing who would be the companionship to teach this person......5 minutes
past.....and they returned! 5 MINUTES CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!? We should be able
to find someone willing to listen every 5 minutes if we do it with the urgency
that these Elders had. Thinking that maybe just maybe it could be this next
person we talk to who will say yes. That there was not an option to return
without someone to teach. In the end the man opened up so much and asked to
receive
Oh also I gave my comp bangs. She was wanting a change so I sat her down and gave her one. She feels so much more beautiful and I said a pray after thanking Heavenly Father it turned out well considering a hair accident I had my Senor Year in High School :)
