First of all we have to go back
to Hualqui! On Saturday Scarleth got baptized!!! She is 15 and her whole family
are members but her mom is a less active and her dad does not live with her.
But her younger brother is active and her neighbors are her aunts and uncles
all super active. Her mom had a big car accident and is not that same and does
not have the role as her mom as her aunt does. But she got baptized! I heard it
was beautiful and I will have to write her to see how she is doing.
Also, Hermana Heaton has
another for sure baptism this Saturday and a maybe as well. I am so proud of
her to be able to tie up the loose ends there.
But I have to change gears and
be in Collao now. It is literally around the corner of Nonguen and I even see
nonguen every day and Friday we actually had a mini transfer with the Hermanas
from Nonguen and since I had only had days in Collao I went to Nonguen!!!!! It
was the coolest slash weirdest thing. Weird because I had never thought I would
return and another to be able to see so a part of where my heart lies. It was
also cool to run into people I had taught and see that they were doing well,
even better than I thought. Sometimes as a missionary you never really know how
you touch the lifes of others, or if they will even remember you. But it was a
pure joy being able to see others and see their surprised joy with seeing me
once again there with them. Some of them progressed and others no. But to know
they felt something to see me again. That somehow after all the hard days there
something we had done...said....or showed made a positive impact on them. It
sounds kinda like a little taste of heaven when we will find ourselves with
others that have meant so much to us and finally let them know of all the good
they did for us.
But I really do love Collao!
Even though it kinda hurt a lot to leave Hualqui and feel so needed here and
already apart of it all. We found a ton this week and brought 3 invetigatores
to the church with a baptism date! They rock! And they are normal. If you were
or are a missionary you will understand that comment. But I love being with
Hermana Parkin. I feel like we teach in so much unity and we are on the same
page all the time. There could be comments or ideas or a topic I want to touch
on in the lesson and she goes right into the point or topic without any heads
up. She also is crazy healthy and loves to run. So I think we are actually
going to be getting up a tad early to get a good run in.....trying to take
advantage of it all whille I am still with someone who is into that stuff.
So there is a fun picture with
Scarleth that I included and some cool wall paint that you will only get if you
are familar with Chile slang.
I love you all so much and love
every day. Even the long ones. I feel like a go to bed so dang exhausted every
night and find a way to wake up with so much energy and excitement the next
morning. I pray for you all and invite you to take advantage of all the
blessings that are coming your way. Do everything in your reach to be able to
recieve all that the Lord has instore for you.
Con Harto Amor,
Hermana Lancita
