SO this has been a good week! We started another cambio here in Villa el Sol together. Things have been kind of interesting with the world cup going on and everything. I feel like the weeks are seriously FLYING by and skipping days too! Monday, Thursday, Sunday. haha SO much to do, so little time.
I'm sitting here in front of the computer screen mind
blank, just thinking, What happened this week? What can I tell my family
about??? I think the fact that I'm a little wound up isn't helping me
think at all. Here's what's happening:... Today Chile plays in the
world cup again at 12pm (right now) and we have to enter the house
before the game ends at 2pm, and be enclosed in the house the rest of
pday. BUT the thing is that they told/informed us yesterday that we
didn't have to be in the house until 3pm, so we made all our plans around
that because we had to clean the house this week (deep clean) and then
take pictures of it to send into the office and we had to do all that
BEFORE going to use internet because we have to send them by email. So in
total we have like 4 hours tops out of the house, and 2 of those hours
are used by writing the family (and walking to and from the place), and
my comp and I had to go to the center to go buy boots and fleece tights
because the boots I was wearing had a huge hole in the sole and we were
both freezing to death for lack of thick/warm tights. And that takes a
while because we don't know the center very well and it's a little far
away. SO we leave at like 9:30 to go to the center, go to the bank, take
out some cash, go buy boots at some sale place, then its like 11
something and our DL calls to let us know that we actually have to enter
the house before TWO pm. SO long story short I'm in the internet place
right now rushing to write everything I need before I have to go home
and we won't even have time to go grocery shopping or anything and I'm not
going to lie, its a little bit frustrating, because they informed us
badly. But "everybody makes mistakes and everybody has those days",
plus I'll get over it and bounce back shortly. Sacrifice brings
blessings!!! haha
On Wednesday we had to go home for a few hours too
because Chile played Spain AND WON!!!! VAMOS CHILE!!!! hahaha The
people were screaming and driving by honking their horns, waving the
flag out their car windows until they went to bed that night, and the
game started at like 3 pm! I've never been one to get all excited about
sports, let alone soccer, but their enthusiasm is definitely
contagious.
Ok, so this week. This week we were finally able to
teach Patricia again, and that was awesome because she is a great
investigator! And for her schedule and everything we hadn't been able to
teach her in like 3 weeks, it was crazy! But it was awesome to see that
she is still very interested and open to listen to us and read the Book
of Mormon and everything! :)
My companion got bit by a dog this week! haha but
luckily it didn't break the skin (narrowly escaped the 6 rabies shots
haha)! It was the craziest thing because we were walking along the side
walk - and here ALL the houses have gates around their front
yard/garden, and almost everyone has dogs that stand there and bark at
you while you are trying to contact people lol,- so like I said, we were
just walking along the side walk, passing by the houses, and there in
this little hole in a wooden gate where you put your hand through to
open the gate and as my companion passed by, this crazy
dog jumped up and grabbed her elbow through that little tiny space in
the fence! She almost started crying, but more for being startled/nerves
than feeling pain.
Other than that all is good here, we are happy and
working hard. This Saturday we have an activity put on by us
missionaries and our ward mission leader. The theme is unity and
friendship and we are going to try to unite the ward a little better so
they work better together by playing games and everything, then we are
going to have sopaipillas as refreshment! YUMM! sopaipillas con pebre!!! haha it's going to be awesome and we are inviting the whole world,
so we have high expectations! I'll let you know how it goes next week.
Love you guys lots and lots! I hope you are all well
and making good choices haha. you are the best family in the whole wide
world! Thanks for sending pics of everyone! that´s so cool that mike´s
fam cam to visit! Send my love to everyone! Take care!!!!!
