This Rocks!

Well. This week... has honestly been one of the greatest weeks ever in the mission. What a great week. My comp and I found ourselves saying "this rocks" "that rocked" etc like every second haha and then when we realized we were saying that so much we started saying it more as a joke. But yeah its been a great week.

Also, I talked to pres again about extending just one month and president said no :( but its all good I thought and prayed and felt like 1 month if I could do it and if not that I should just go home in Feb. So thats the plan. Ill be leaving the mission on Feb 9th. And oh my heck dad if you could land me that internship i would DIE OF HAPPINESSS!!!! I would love to do that. So let me know what you find out. 

wow all you boys are just growing up!! I showed one of our little 14 year old investigators a pic of you all and she thought you guys were pretty cute hahaha.... I took a good look at the pic and realized what the heck my little punky brothers are getting all grown up now!!!

So this week was just such a fun adventure and I am LOVING being with hna orton. Its been great because we have been able to work so effectively and get sooooooo much done. I dont think Ive gotten so many lessons in in a week and with the two sectors combined we have had so many people to go and visit. If you could please pray for Paulina, Kathy, and Eduardo Iturra and Roberto, Maria Inez, and Javiera Riffo I would be very greatful for it! They are two families that are investigating and progressing super well and they just need lots of prayers! Also if you could pray for Pato (I think his real name is patricio?) He was aparently scientologist and or atheist a few weeks ago but he is really listening and really interested in the gospel and he has already had some great experiences with the book of mormon in the past week so we are really hopeing to help him change his life!

So this week we had a STL meeting at presidents house. It was such a fun meeting because its always nice to visit presidents house and see all of the other hnas and it was great because me and Hna Orton dont really know what we are doing as STLs or what President expects of us but we were able to learn a little better about our purpose and then president talked about our role as future leaders in the church and as women in the church which was really nice because man the chileans can get pretty sexist and Im kinda a feminist type of person so it gets a little rough sometimes because of just so many things so it was really nice to be able to learn what God really thinks and expects of me :)

Right after we had the STL meeting we ran over to the temple for a recorrido with the family Riffo. It was sooooo great and they totally could feel the spirit and were able to recognize it. But one of the greatest parts was when we were waiting for the family riffo to get there and Cleber passed by, I imediately started crying and we shook hands and were able to catch up. It was wonderful to see how active he is in the church and what a tender mercy it was to see him there. Then I saw ingrid! One of the ward missionaries from pocuro, we hugged and cried for like the longest time and it was so good to see how much she is growing and progressing too. We got really close while I was there in pocuro so it was wonderful to see her too. Then in the waiting room of the temple I saw Luz Maria! I didn{t have time to talk much to her but it was nice to see she was doing well tambien. What a wonderful day that was. 

On sunday we had lots of lessons about selfless service and sacrifice. Joseph Millett was mentioned in a sacrament meeting talk and then later by the bishop for a 5th sunday meeting. It was really cool to see how even in Chile people are affected by the amazing example of joseph Millett. It made me proud to bear his name and to be an ancestor of his. There are some pretty amazing Milletts that have come before me and I really am so proud of the example that each one of them have left for me. 

Anyway. I gotta go write some other people.... but Im doing great. Im very very very happy, and Im doing my best to work my butt off every day. 

With love
