We got to the
meeting where we would get our companion assigned and it was funny
because right before hand I went into the mail room to see if I had any
mail and I saw a package and it had a sister missionaries name on it
that was not mine and I was like.......oooooooh crap. I think I figured
out who my comp is before I should have. Oops. Because we are the only
hermanas in all of puente alto (which is two whole zones) so if it was
for a sister missionary and its not me then it had to be my comp!
So
I watched for her as all of the newbies came in haha and sure enough Im
training Hermana Clawson. She is from california and she is like the
cutest thing ever. She was studying at byu the year before and she is
19. And guess what mom and dad? She is like second cousins with the
Southards! So yeah its a small world.
Mom my
last companion was from Cottonwood Heights and she will be going to BYU
starting this winter :) I sent her with a USB of pics and some chilean
stuff that you guys will have to try so hopefully you can get in contact
with her or she can with you, her email is taylorton2@gmail.com
it was waaaaaaaaaay wierd hearing from her and seeing the pics of her
in the USA. It messed with my mind a little bit. But oh well haha.
Omar.
He is doing much better. THANK YOU for all prayers said on his behalf.
We got to his house this week and he started off by telling us that he
felt MUCH better. He had read 2 ne 4 (the chapter we had left with him
to read) and said that it helped him feel a lot better and helped him
feel more motivated again. Then the next visit we had this week he told
us that he picked his baptismal date and he wants to get baptized on the
20th of december. So. Now the desafio (trial? No sé) is getting him to
come to the church. He has come and he know he needs to come and says he
will come this next week but he didnt come this week or the few before
so Im a little worried. But I have so much faith that he will be ready.
So PLEASE pray lots for that this week. And yes mom we will take your
advice :)
Oh my goodness I cant even believe
Elder... I mean Ryan Schade´s face. I hadnt read the email before I
looked at the pic and I thought it was alex or spencer for a second when
I saw the little pic at the bottom. I about had a heart attack. Yuck.
Thats scary. I hope he is doing ok!!! (Boy in our ward who was in a skiing accident).
So this
week was a crazy week of miracles. Its been a good one and I really feel
so blessed for all that the Lord has done for me and my comp this week.
It was really wierd when hermana Orton left, I was kind of really sad
and thinking about how she must be doing, what was going on, etc. And I
was kinda worried that Id be a bad trainer or that I wouldnt be of much
help to my companion and stuff and the first day went alright but I was
kinda full of little feelings and worries like that. So then at night
and in the morning as I was praying and studying and stuff I really
expressed some of that to the Lord and wow I am just so grateful to see
how he helped me with that. From that moment on we have been sooooo busy
that there just hasnt been time to think. Here are just a few of the
many amazing things that happened this week that probably no one but
hermana orton would know how big of a deal each of these are haha but
for me and for this sector they were HUGE.
1) All of omars doubts went away and he started reading the book of mormon every day
2)Remundo
and Jessica (a family we contacted the week before) were actually in
their house and we had a lesson with them and will be having another
next week.
3) We found Pato. One of our old investigators and actually had a lesson with him and his next door neighbors who are members.
4) Omar decided on a baptismal date
5)
We found a less active that hasnt had missionaries pass by since her
baptism 10 years ago and are we now starting to teach her family
6)
We found Johanna, a lady we had contacted like forever ago that we
could never find again after that. We taught her a bit and should be
teaching her again today.
7)Mari a less active came to the capilla for the first time in a LOOOONG time just because we called her in the morning!
8) And seriously like a MILLION other things. We have been ridiculously blessed this week.
Haha
so yeah. We are doing great. It is so good to have someone so new to
things because the have such a great perspective and motivation to do
things and try things that sometimes after being in the mission for a
long time you just give up or think it wont work or stop trying. But
with a new person with all of the ideas and ganas its like the greatest
thing. Haha I feel like I am learning so much that she is the one
training me. She is a very obedient missionary and has a very strong
testimony, its also fun because we have a lot of things in common. Like
everything from playing the piano to wearing a sock bun. Haha today for
pday everyone got a kick out of seeing my comp with a sockbun because I
am like known among the hermanas for my style of clothes and my sock bun
haha so when the saw hna clawson walk in they kept telling me how
president couldnt have picked a better comp for me haha. I would have to
agree. She is pretty great :)
So. thats pretty much it. I have to go write some other letters, but I love you all! Talk to ya next week!
With love,
Kyrstin Millett
Our thanksgiving dinner that we had today for pday. (we made pumpkin pie! we had to go to an almacen or little neighborhood shop and have them cut a chunk of zapallo off for us its like this big squash thing that you can boil and it tastes like pumpkin!)
All of the hermanas that came :)
Mi madre and mi hija :)
