The Worst and The Best Week!

Hey mal, first before I forget, baking soda is bicarbonato, and also I´m sending you a birthday present, so it should get to the office of your mission in a few days and I hope you get it soon after (I´m sending it with one of the recently returned missionaries from JAS that helps us all the time and she is going back to visit argentina so I´m going to send some Chilean stuff with her) so HAPPY BDAY! (Soonish)

And holy crap Mal, Just do it.  I wasn´t thinking of the same phrase but I was thinking the exact same thing this week.

So this week has been a little rough.  I got the stomach flu, I did divisions twice so I was running around santiago meeting up with people like a mad woman, we had one day where it litterally was like everyone felt like ripping apart the standards and beliefs that are the most important to me (One of which was mario that called us and told us that he thinks his baptism was a mistake and that he cant believe they make us do what we do in the mission and that we obey like robots and there is no way we really have testimonies we have just convinced ourselves that this is true and yadayada.  That was a little hard to take in) but yeah it has been hot and stressful, and saddening and difficult this week.  As far as difficulty and bad things happening I´d say its just about one of the worst weeks I´ve ever had.

But it was also the greatest week I think I´ve ever had on the mission.  I was so happy.  Ï saw so many miracles.  Satan just tries to attack you when he know the good stuff is comin.  I love what you said last week in the email mom that the blessings come when you push yourself just a little bit past what you think you can do.  THAT IS 100 PERCENT TRUE.  I was on divisions with people that weren´t from my sector and we had planned to meet with a few people that I was quite frankly terrified to teach without my companion, and I was scared to contact without my companion to help me and I was scared to do a lot of things without her because you just get so used to your system of doing things together and recognizing needs and passing the conversation over to your companion or helping her when she needs help etc but I remembered that email and thought, wow if anyone needs the blessings for pushing a little harder its me so I just decided what the heck we are going to do EVERYTHING that I´m afraid of.  So we went to visit the investigators that I didn´t want to visit, we contacted like crazy, we called the people that even Hermana Altamirano and I were afraid to call when we were together.  We just did it all.  And honestly none of the difficult investigators were there, none of them answered their phones, and we just contacted the whole time.  AND IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER. I just don´t know how to explain, normally the people on the street turn and walk the other way or stick their nose up or say something rude the second you say hi to them but this day when I was with divisions we said hi and they stopped walking and asked us to hear our message etc, we shared a couple of awesome lessons, and had a lot of great contacts.  All because I just decided to push myself a little harder.

Well I have to go I´m super out of time, we had a visitors center in the chapel this week which was a fun stressful big event and I don´t have time to talk about it but yeah love you all!!!
