Week 2 Still Doing Great


Well its so great here in Chile and I am LOVING IT!!! Seriously I'm so blessed to have my awesome district and hermanas and just everything.  ITS just the best. 
So thursday I went to the temple in Chile and holy cow it doesn't look super pretty on the outside but its really really pretty on the inside.  I just walked in and felt so much peace.  It was awesome to see all of these people in the CCM that I've become such good friends with in the Celestial Room.  The Latinas left today. I cried so much.  i'm going to miss them!! I feel like I've known them for years and even though we couldn't say much to each other we had great talks about pololos *Chilean for Boyfriend haha* and the gospel, and just everything through broken english and spanish.  I really love the latinas and I'm going to miss the girls soooooo much.  Especially my roomies Hmna Benitez and Perez!! I'll try to get some pics on here if I have time!!
Will you send me some pics of the whole family? I won't be able to print them off yet but I'd love some!!
Or send them printed off in a letter or package would be better!!!
We had an amazingly spiritual lesson about the doctrine of Christ and the power of a missionary.  We each took turns to ask our teacher to commit to baptism and feel the power of the spirit come as you promise blessings.  SO AMAZING. I just sat there and cried as I watched a bunch of my bestest friends use the power of God that they have with them as His missionaries.  It was pretty amazing.
I had a very humbling day this week where I did a TERRIBLE job. Me and my companion just didn't flow well and it was BAD.  Then our other teacher got really upset with us for not focusing well enough during TRC time.  We have 3 or 4 hours where our teacher leaves to be the fake investigator and we each have an assigned time to teach her, we dont do well at focusing for that long after teaching and at the end of the day. Its hard but we are trying to do better!!
I had a better lesson with the same investigator later though. I didn't really understand all of the words he said, but I just kinda somehow got the gist of his ramblings and I just felt the spirit basically yelling TESTIFY! so I did.  I couldn't say much but I just said what I knew and said it with all my heart and all the power I could and the spirit just rushed in the room and it was great.  I learned that I really can't rely on myself, I need to silence my mind and allow the spirit to enter.
Pray for me for patience and focus ok? Its like 14 hours of classes and its soooo hard to focus at the end!!
I also spent some money, the electronics don't really work with the adapter so I bought a new straightener and curling iron and some other things... and maybe a little bit of chilean candy hahaha
Agh I don't have much more time and there is SOOOOO MUCH I want to say!!
This week if you get the time will you try to find Elder Hollands MTC address from Jan 11, 2011? If you find it on you tube or something you should watch it because it is AWESOME and it just completely changed my whole perspective, I've left my net and I've been called to feel His sheep, and He has asked me to do it FOREVER.  If you love God he expects you to serve FOREVER. Agh its so great, just look it up and watch it.  Its long but SO WORTH IT!!
Love you all!!
