good
●it’s kinda
weird serving in a country on the other side of the hemisphere because I’m so
confused with what month it really is because of the weather, so when it starts
getting warm again i will think it will be summer but really it will be time to
go home… in january! yeah i’m kinda all confused.
●elders had a
baptism. he is the only member of his family who wasn’t baptized because he
wasn’t 8 yet but now he’s 11 and his family has become less active but he
wanted to be baptized… almost all of his family came to the baptism. it was so
good to see them all back at the church after more than 8 years.
●we had a less
active irma we needed to visit and have been trying to for a while now... when
we finally caught her at home she was so excited! she made us hot cocoa and
basically dinner haha. now i remember why i love inactive members :)
the things i do to entertain children... i read the story as the witch with my hood for little ana
●good news
people... we fixed our shower. well actually an irmao fixed it for us.
haha.
bad
●it was an
elder in my district’s birthday and the other sisters planned this surprise for
him with members but while they were supposed to be distracting him because
it wasn’t time for him to get the the "surprise" house... he got mad because they were
basically just walking in circles and he almost refused to go hahhaha. that was
fun.
elder L the 20 year old himself:)

fyi: the day of his little birthday surprise my comp & i literally completely
walked this city of santiago with our schedule. i was ready to cut off my legs that night.
awesome
●ice cream in
any weather.

●i made a
pazookie!! (sorry…all of the awesomes are going to be food!)
serving up my pazookie
anyways. that what i have for you this week. it’s been kinda
crazy. this week wasn’t way cold which was good but it did rain. always a fun
time. especially when i decided to curl my hair that day. this week we have mission
tour.. a member of the seventy is coming and will speak to us wednesday with
two other zones… then two other days with the rest of the zones. i was hoping
we could go to santa maria and i could see some friends from the other district
but no such luck.
this week i studied a lot about personal revelation. i worry
that i am not sensitive enough to the spirit and that maybe there are things
that could be revealed to me that i don’t receive because i’m not listening.
but at the same time one thing i learned is you really have to do your part to
receive personal revelation and search the scriptures for your answer. then the spirit will show you that what you
read or learned was specifically for you. it’s actually pretty amazing how it
all works. as members of the church we are so lucky that we can always have the
companionship of the Holy Ghost and that God speaks… not just to our prophets
but He wants to guide our personal lives too.
so i love you all. i’m jealous it’s summer there. go swimming
for me. get pumped for the world cup! and don’t forget to do your part to
receive personal revelation, to apply the Atonement in your life, to help the
missionaries, or just to make someone’s day :)

note
we get snail mail letters about every month from Ashley… here’s
something that was so sweet that she shared in her letter we got this week:
“today was an awesome day…. we went to a store we passed by
yesterday while walking. We were looking
for winter clothes where I, being distracted and sometimes having blonde
moments, left my planner. But while we
were there I found a skirt for 20 REALS! (less than $10) but I didn’t have my
money with me so the owner said he would hold it for me. While we were in the store looking around a
less active member was also there. after
we left she secretly bought the skirt for me and a shirt my companion had been
looking at for her and it was all wrapped up for us WITH MY PLANNER waiting for
us. It was the cutest surprise ever! #brasiliankindness
a mac & cheese arrival is shared by the whole apartment:)
