Alrighty tighty.. this week has been pretty
darn great. Well any week with a baptism is a great week! :) Abigail got
baptised yesterday. It was so cute, I just love seeing baptisms and
thinking about what it really represents. We spent most of this week
teaching Abigail and preparing her for her baptism.
IT RAINED!!! Friday well it didn´t just rain it poured and the
streets, like they do in chile when it rains, flooded. I actually
thought it was pretty cool. We got pretty lucky and were able to be in
houses teaching during the worst parts of the storm. Unfortunately we
haven´t been so lucky as to have hot water. Yeah.. our water heater kind
of broke this week, the elders came and took it on Friday and since it
was a weekend we´ll just barely be getting back tonight. 5 days without
warm water. I have a new appreciation for the pioneers and anybody who
lived back in the times when they had to heat their water up on the
fire, which is basically what we´ve been doing with our stove.
Oh another funny story.. We were passed a guy on the street and I
heard him say "no saben por quien trabajan" (you don´t know who you
work for) I then stopped and asked him what he meant. He then said that
back in 1975 the CIA started sending spies down to Chile in the form of
mormon missionaries. He then said but you don´t know you´re just young
girls. I told him he was invited to the church anytime to learn the
truth, but it was really quite funny. I had heard stories of people
thinking that missionaries are spies but that was my first experience.
This week I have set the goal to read the Book of Mormon, Doctrine
& Covenants, The New Testament, and The Pearl of Great Price before
the end of my mission. Good thing I´m like 2/3 of the way done with The
Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants already. I have gained such a
profound love for the scriptures, each day I´m learning something new
and it really is like a big feast for my brain. Oh in case you didn´t
know one of my favorite things to do now is EAT, luckily I still haven´t
gained a pound. Seriously the scriptures are amazing. I tesitfy that
they ARE TRUE and that they have the power to help us at anytime and are
able to help us with any of the difficulties in life.
I love you all SO very much and I hope you have a fantastic week!!
