Hola
Familia y Amigas,
So I don´t even know
where to begin! It has been a crazy week. I have never had a more
hilarious couple weeks than here with Hermana Howe! It is literally insane all
of the time, but it is so fun!! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!
One thing I forgot to
mention last week is that I learned how to knit. All of the women here know how
to knit and so right now I am in the process of making leg warmers to match the
scarf I just finished crocheting. And by in the process, I mean 2 rows in
because we literally have no time!! But I knit and that is all I have to
say about that!
So I have been sick
with a cold most of the week. At first I thought I got sick because on Tuesday it got really really cold and I was not as
bundled up as I should have been. But after 2 days in the house, Friday we finally found our culprit for the reason of
me being sick! MOLD!!! All over the window and wall right next to my
bed!! Yeah that was fun cleaning out!! After these last few weeks I can´t
imagine what Hermana Howe’s view of the mission is. haha yeah she was not
too excited to clean the mold out of the indented wall! haha Well anyways
it is all gone now and today I am finally feeling back to normal.
Especially after yesterday when I had a really dumb blonde moment and I
took the nighttime cold pill at 3 in the afternoon when I should have taken the
daytime one. Yeah at least Chilean pills are not as strong as normal
ones, and there was not a too big effect! haha
I have found that my
favorite thing about being a missionary is getting to do small acts of service
to bless others in small ways. And really feeling like I am a true
representative of Jesus Christ. I am doing what he would do if he were
here, helping not only in the big ways but in the small ways too. On Sunday we were walking home after lunch and there was
a couple trying to get there car started my pushing it and then him jumping in
and starting it, but once he got in the car she could never keep it going fast
enough. Well offered to help push and it started the first time!! It probably
looked a little funny us running in skirts behind a car in the rain. But
it made me feel so happy afterwards. Those little miracles and
opportunities to lend a helping hand are what I look for her in the mission.
Anything I can do to not only share the message of Christ through words,
but through actions as well.
I love you all and
have a great week!
