Happy New Year!



Well it was sure nice to skype with you all the other day. Bummer it was cutting out like crazy but I didnt feel too bad because Ill be seeing you all soon enough. My last transfer starts TODAY. I cant believe it. 6 weeks can be a long time but knowing how fast the transfers fly by Im a little worried! I cant believe its all gonna be coming to an end after this transfer. I guess all I can do is work my little rear end off as best as I can to take advantage of every last minute.

Mal Im startin to really worry for ya. When I see the poor missionaries that struggle with sickness or something like that here in this mission it makes me really sad to think "oh crap my sister is one of those!" That must be a struggle. Im sorry. Im prayin for ya! It was kinda wierd to think that you could possibly get home before me! I hope not! But if you do Ill be glad to be able to get used to home life together!

Enough about that though I hope you dont think Im trunky. Im not. Im really happy and I love my sector and ward and everything Im doing so much. 

I am very tired today. Our neighbors had a party 2 nights ago til 3 in the morning, the did that all the time but this one was by far the worst. Mal do you remember that day when we had to work at the hangtime party and they were blasting dubstep the whole time? It was like that loud I swear. But on the onthe other side of the wall behind my pillow. And there were drunk people talking and yelling practically in our front yard. So we called the police at 1:30 and they came and told them to turn the music down so they did until they left and 5 min after they left they turned it up even louder. I feel like if you lose sleep on the mish you never get it back. So Im trying not to be a zombie haha but yeah it was a funny experience. Id never called the police before. let alone in chile. 

This week we had a really cool experience. So We went to visit Elizabeth QuiƱones the less active and her family that came with us to the christmas concert. Only elizabeth and her husband that is evangelical were there and he asked us about something about life after death and we began to talk about that and of course he was a little skeptical so we were showing him scriptures from the bible to help him see  and understand what we were talking about and we specifically talked a lot about baptisms for the dead and idk I felt kind of bad because sometimes its so hard to teach people that have different ideas and show them in the scriptures without it turning into a bible bash. So I was really trying to keep the spirit but also defend our beliefs and express the Lords love for him and stuff. At the end of the lesson though it was AMAZING because Elizabeth started to cry and told us that since she was little she has wondered if there was any way that her grandma could be saved because she never learned how to read so she didnt understand much about the bible and jesus christ so she just prayed to a little virgin statue and never got baptized, so elizabeth said that she was pretty sure that this was her answer that she needed to get baptized in the temple for her grandma. It was such a miracle and so inspired. Im so grateful to know that God knows what he is doing far better than I do and that if we listen to the spirit we will know what to do and say. We are so excited because her and her family are so receptive and so loving. Im so blessed to be serving where I am! 

Well the 4 other hermanas moved into our apartment today, so we are a little squished but I think its gonna be a lot of fun. (mom and dad I got pizza for all of us, some of them paid me back but yeah, youll be seeing that one on the card) Ill try to send some pics in the next few minutes. 

Ill be praying lots for Chris. I hope their family is doing alright! 

love you all!
