So this week was a great one.
Monday we had a miracle happen. So we
were walking to a less actives house and we passed this woman and her dog, I then got the strongest impression to stop and
talk to her. Which was the spirit cause
when I did I realized she was someone we had contacted like 2 and half months
ago and had given her a Book of Mormon. She
was like thank you so much for that book. I love it, it just brings such peace into my life and I read
it all the time. We were like trying to hold in our excitement as we asked her
if she had more time for us to talk more about this book. We went in and had
the neatest lesson and she has totally been prepared. I love when you meet
people like that and they are feeling the spirit but they don’t know what it is
and it’s our job to help them recognize this, learn and come unto Christ. It
was a tender mercy from the Lord to bring Carolina into our lives. We are going
to teach her again today so we are excited.
This week yes I hit the 9 month
mark.... sad huh? We do this weird thing
here as sister missionaries on the mission when we hit 9 months. We stuff our shirts so we are pregnant bahah
get it like 9 months? A real baby 9 months of a mission! Just a bunch of crazy
sisters with fake pregnant bellies! haha It was lots of fun and kind of weird,
but then we had cake and it was so good.
So it was a fun little party after a hard day’s work. I sure do love the
Sisters that I live with they are like really sisters. It’s so crazy how fast
the time flies so just enjoy every day cause that’s all we can do. We can work on being a better version of the
person we were yesterday. I am a little sad cause the time went by so fast and I’ll
be home before I know it which is a bummer cause I really love the mission. Going
back will be hard - like huge culture shock too, but ya’ll just have to come
visit Chile it’s the best.
This week was so hot yep we are
sweating buckets here in October, weird huh? I am proud to say I have a watch
tan!! I’m using my Chilean version of a camel pack and it’s like the best
invention ever - I love it.
This week we got to take some
members to the temple tour where we start in the chapel next to the temple and
have a tour and talk about the restoration Christ and his baptism and the
prophet and then we go inside the front part of the temple, it’s just the entry
way and its very small, but you can tell the difference from the outside. We only get to go to the temple once a year
so going in a little part was amazing and the spirit was so amazing. On the bright side I get to go to the temple
tomorrow I am so excited. Something that I learned was when we stopped in front of the
first vision photo of joseph Smith, God and Jesus and we talked about the Book
of Mormon and I got to explain what the
Book of Mormon is to me and to me. That
book is where I can go to feel God’s love for me. I feel a peace and a
belonging like no other when I read this book and I want all of you to go read
2 Nephi 4 http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/4?lang=eng. It is so great, it’s one of those things
that makes me feel like I have so much to change to become who God wants me to
b, but it gives me hope at the same time. I love the Book of Mormon as it was
written for us in our day. If you haven’t had the chance to read it go read it
cause it will change your life cause it continues to change mine and brings
peace and love into my life.
Today we had a fun P-day experience we went out to eat sushi
which was so good?! The restaurant we went too we got to see a Chilean
celebrity... i didn’t know who he was but that kind of stuff so doesn’t happen
in Fayetteville! haha It was fun and
the sushi was so good haha and it was so great to go out with my Chilean family
and i sure am going to miss them if I get transferred.
Well I love ya’ll so very much
thanks so much for the support and the love that you send and I am praying for ya’ll
always
Love
Love
