Anyway, Yeah mom I have seen the
Because of Him video its super great! I loved how they showed the
atonement in a completely different way. So cool. I think we are gonna
use it for a noche de hogar (FHE) today if our internet works ok.
Well the Schades are here in Chile. I´ve only been
talking about it for the last week with the hermanas in my pension. I
kept telling them how badly I wanted to see the Schades and stuff and it
turns out that while me and my comp were out shopping they were down in
the offices in front of my apartment and going all around my sector to
eat lunch and stuff.... so missed out on seeing them haha but I´m
suuuuuuuuuuper excited to get my package... I think I´ll have hna
mckinley open it up for me and take out a few things that I need and
then keep the rest for my birthday.
Yeah we are gonna talk! Yeah so excited!!! Wow the
time is just flying isn´t it!?! Hmmm what is the time difference? And
could you guys look up when daylight savings is for Chile? I feel so
lost without google.
Aww spence just growin up and goin on dates... I might cry sniffle sniffle. So proud.
Haha
mal here in chile EVERY window has bars unless you live in a big tall
building. I´ve always asked myself how someone would escape in a fire?
Maybe better not to worry about that. And yeah we can NEVER wear jeans
unless we have a sports activity on pday but we have to travel in a
skirt and change when we get there and can never be in public with jeans
BUT when you go in presidents care and you are waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy out
in the mountains where their isn´t anybody its ok to wear jeans. That
could easily be my last time in jeans for the rest of my mission haha.
Well this week we had Abrahams baptism! It was quite
the adventure. So we were getting him all ready for his interview and
stuff but its hard because he just doesn´t like to listen. He has plenty
of faith and a testimony but idk... he is just a very sarcastic old man
that thinks he is hilarious..... so sometimes its super hard to get
down to the super spiritual stuff. But when you can get on a super
spiritual level with him its AMAZING to see everything that he has been
through and the testimony that he has. His parents were immigrants from
Syria and he has had all sorts of experiences in life to bring him
closer to God. The only thing is that he will not stop joking about how
he thinks he is going to marry me. At least I think he is joking...
sometimes if people say things enough you just don´t know if they are
serious or not....
But anyway so Abraham went in for his baptismal
interview and after a while my district leadter came out and was like...
uhhh I´m gonna have to call president. So we went home a little bummed
and I was just feeling like a terrible missionary because I hadn´t done
my job as a missionary to help Abraham be baptized and yada yada so I
did what I do when I have a hard day. I go to the bathroom cry a little
and pray (because the bathroom is the only place where I can be alone)
so I told Heavenly Father I was sorry for what ever I did wrong and
asked him to help me do better and to help my day to go better. I walked
out of the bathroom and 2 min later we got a text from a long lost
investigator that wanted to meet with us! And then president called and
said we were just fine to go ahead with Abraham´s baptism and told us
that it wasn´t really something our DL had to talk to him about and it
was just fine. Seriously such a tender mercy to see how after a little
prayer God just turned everything around. So yeah Abraham got baptized
on Sunday!!! It was hilarious because hna cortese played a musical
number of I Need Thee Every Hour on the violin and Abraham didn´t know
the words or anything so to him it just sounded like a super sad song so
afterwards he was like "That was super sad!! You got me crying!!!" And
then when he was baptized and when he came up out of the water he was
like "That was short, I wanted to stay in the water!" so he jumped back
in and started wading/Swimming around the font.......... It was kind of
hilarious. But for reals it was a great baptism and Abraham was super
happy.
Anyway, I have to go now but I´ll talk to you guys next week!
With love
