Hola Familia y Amigos,
Thanks everyone for
all the Birthday letters and wishes!! I have not gotten anything through
snail mail yet, but that makes me that much more excited that I have letters on
the way.
So today is cambios as well and we were kinda shocked. I will be staying in Collao and Hermana Lorea is heading to Chillan after only one cambio here with me crazy huh? I will be with Hermana Quintana, with whom I lived in Bulnes for 3 months.
She is from Peru and is the one that lives in one of the wards in which Carson
served. Crazy to be ending my mission with her. It should be fun! I am
just excited that I do not have to pack on my birthday!
So to start off my
birthday has been amazing. Not to hate, but birthdays on the mission are
way more boss than in College!! But I got super lucky to have my birthday
specifically today. Because with all the cambios and my house being the
house that is closest to the Conce. All the hermanas that go home stay
with us the night before, so we are going to be sleeping 11 in our tiny little
2 and half bedroom apt. But I am so stoked!! Also last night Hermana
Ayuso and Glazier stayed with us and so that was fun and we were all in bed
just talking after lights out at 11:30 and
then we hear screaming at midnight from the front room (where Hermana Ayuso and Glazier were
sleeping) and they run in and scream "Help us there is something in the
kitchen" everyone gets out of bed and runs out there and they are ready
with cameras and cake and signs and they start singing. It was a great
way to start the day.
Then one of the
members here, Valentina took us to the desembocadura (where the river BioBio
meets the ocean) and we explored and took a million pictures. It was
really fun, and then we went to the mission office where I saw hermana Baturité
again and then we went to lunch at an expensive American restaurant and they
bought me ice cream! And about 15 minutes ago the senior missionaries in
the office called me and sang happy birthday. And then tonight with 11 in
the house we are going to have a big party!! It should be so fun!!!
Okay about the
spiritual side of things. Javiera is going to be baptized this
Thursday and she is so
excited! Please pray for her!!! Also we are working so much with
the members and it has been great to see even the active members
progress!! I love this work and I am so excited to be a missionary at
this very moment and to be able to learn to work with the members and help them
even more in this great work and I am even more excited that I will get to be a
missionary my whole life!! Missionary work is the most satisfying work you
could ever participate in and also a work that is never ending! What more could
I ask for!!
I love you all! Have a
great week!!
