OK, so time is short but I have so much to
send! It's been a crazy week! ...lots to share! ...including pictures. The bad news is that they are SUPER slow loading, but I'll see what I can
do.
OK, where do I start?
Tuesday my companion had a meeting
in Rancagua because she's the Sister coordinator. I stayed here in the sector with
Hermana Garcia. Wednesday is our normal district meeting but this week
President Warne came and visited and afterward he gave my companion a
Priesthood blessing. It was an AWESOME blessing!...pretty much we're going
to be running around like mad the next 3 weeks (the LAST three weeks of
my compi's mission:( ) She is SO awesome! I hope I can become as great
a missionary as she is! So after she got a blessing, I asked for one
too... IN ENGLISH! it was AWESOME!
The Lord (obviously) knows all of our needs, worries, you name it!
Even when WE don't even recognize them. My blessing was SO SO SO perfect
and especially and exactly what I needed to hear from the Lord. I'll
admit, I cried just a LITTLE bit... OK, maybe a lot.
Thursday, DIVISIONES! my companion went over to a near by sector
and I got to stay here with another hermana. Fun stuff! It went well :) OH!
another one of our families that we teach is going to get married! We
had a very heart to heart, "tell them what they need to hear" lesson with
them and yesterday they told us that they decided to do it!!!
wooohoooooooo ..When? Well, we are still working on that.
Friday, President Warne called to have us come to the mission home
(Hna Irrazabal and I) because 5 guys from Salt Lake flew in to do some
interviews with some sister missionaries from our mission and to ask us
some questions about Elder Archuleta. We go to the mission home and they
wanted to interview us immediately because dusk was about to fall and the
lighting outside was perfect for the CAMERAS ...that's right ON CAMERA
INTERVIEWS. I almost died! lol The president asked my compi and I (and 2
other sisters from the mission) to come and talk and be interviewed. One of
the guys who came is the guy who makes all the Mormon Messages, another
was the personal film agent guy that went with President Hinkley for all
his on film stuff all over the world (including with Larry King), another
is the assistant to the President of the Mormon Tabernacle who schedules all the stars and people who come and perform with the Mormon Tab Choir. I don't remember who the other guys were. Supposedly they are
working on something to put between the sessions of conference and
maybe some Mormon messages and some kind of documentary on Elder
Archuleta. They asked us questions about the mission, our experiences,
our testimonies, and also a couple questions about Elder Archuleta. They
had us sign release forms and everything. What stinks is that we won't
really know if/when they use our stuff... I guess we'll just have to
start watching out for it. Who knows, maybe my comp and I will
randomly show up on the TV or the internet! It was a CRAZY
experience! I'll definitely never forgot it! It was so cool being with
these people and hearing all their stories from working with people high
up in the church, people like Andre Botticelli and everything! After we
finished filming we all ate dinner together in the mission home. Definitely an experience I'll NEVER EVER EVER forget!
Saturday, the branch killed our WHOLE day proselyting because we
had our Sept. 18 party and it went ALL day and they needed our help, but it
was SUPER fun and we 4 hermanas dressed up in traditional "cueca" dresses
in the China (or chinita) style (YouTube: la cueca chilena) la cueca is
the national dance. It was so fun! I took LOADS of pics!
I forget to comment on things
sometimes, but G-pa Jim WAS on my mind this week and in my prayers. No se
preocupe
[So, don't worry] lol I'm really glad to hear he is recovering well.
I love you mommy, thank you for your email, please do have Zoe tell me EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING about her first dance.
I'm writing you an actual letter (believe it or not). The only problem is
that the mail system here is on strike right now, as is the registro
civil lol gotta love CHILE
CHI CHI CHI LE LE LE...VIVA CHILE!!!!
I RAN OUT OF TIME TO SEND PICS...NEXT WEEK!!!! SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYY
