week, is my last week, and last week Hermana Olson and I got really sick, we had to</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> stay
in the house for 5 days--- It was not the ideal way to spend the week but we
are doing much better and we have seen blessings. For example, the one day that
we went out to work, even though we were sick as a dog, we found an inactive
member that recently had her toe amputated and needed a blessing... The elders
came and gave her a blessing and she felt impelled to repent and come back to
Christ. It was a MIRACLE. Also, funny story.... So there was a pen that broke
and the ink got all over my comps hands and we asked a guy on the other side of
the street, who was pushing a food cart, for napkins, and while talking to us,
he almost got hit by a bus and a dead persons car ( I forgot what they are
called in English but the car that carries the coffin of the dead person) at
the same time and the Lord literally put a barrier around him and he didn’t get
hit by either one and he didn’t get mad at us for talking to him either.. and
then this drunk guy was yelling at him AND us, and started threatening things
and yelling bad words, but the cart pusher guy (Mario) got some food from his
cart and lovingly handed it to him, and the guy left us alone. Why am I telling
you this story? Because this just conveys the love that Chileans have for
others... This man, Mario, almost got hit by 2 cars and had a dunk guy yell at
him... and he did not get frustrated, he said no bad words and ended all the turmoil
with SIMPLE yet heart touching tasks: Giving the alcoholic some food and us
some napkins and water. We were able to share some scriptures with him and he
was receptive. He did not live in our sector so we got his dirreccion and had
to pass it to the office... but it made me realize that the small acts we do
really matter. This situation could have been really hectic and dangerous but
through a few small acts, the situation changed dramatically. If we really do what’s
right, we see blessings and miracles and the Lord will protect and walks with
us. I know as a missionary we have had angles surround, guard and guide us and
that Heavenly Father is never far. Mario and Maria Teresa will be getting
baptized soon and are doing quite well. Hernan called us at 3 AM last night and
told us that he was reading the Book of Mormon and FINALLY after 3 months has received
his answer through a very spiritual dream that he wants to tell us later
today... It’s these miraculous and hard weeks that I want to be a missionary forever.
The Lord is aware of every one of us and all we have to do is put our best
effort forward, be honest and loving, and follow the example of Christ, so we
can have a clean and honest conciencia before God on our personal Judgment day.
With sacrifices come blessings. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we didn’t
sacrifice this day, and would have decided to just stay in bed, we would have
missed these miracles and the acompaia del espiritu en nuestra semana. We are
so blessed. I am looking forward to a good week (: Sad to come home but...
ready to put in practice what i have learned here. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">♥</span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Wish I could write more, but the miracles
and blessings and love I have can’t be written right now. (: But I know that
life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes more downs than ups…but the ups remind
us that God hears our prayers and is mindful of us, and the downs are to remind
us of the life of Jesus Christ, and the sacrifices HE made for us... The people
here have been such a blessing in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Familita I will see you in a few days. Keep praying.(: hang in there
this week and we will see you sooon! </span></div>

GAVE MY FINAL TESTIMONY :( this is really it. I have two weeks. I never
thought Id be here. I cant describe all that is going through my head
right now.. including when I went to the doctors office, they told me I
need to brush up on my English because I have lost it 0_o well.....
anyway:: During my last Zone Conferencia I was thinking of coarse about
the time all 8 of us had had (The 8 hermanas who all came together) and
how fast time flies and how looking back life seems too short. Daddy
always sends me a monthly scripture to ponder about so I am basically
going to be sending what he taught me and rewording it because I thought
it was inspirational. He sent me with Alma 37: Verse 41 Nevertheless,
because those miracles were worked by small means it did show unto them
marvelous works. They were slothful, and forgot to exercise their faith
and diligence and then those marvelous works ceased, and they did not
progress in their journey; so, here is a vital factor in our lives, for
us on missions now and for after and always, especially in light (like
Hermana Cook, president`s wife taught us) that Satan is real, and is
fighting with everything he has for the souls of mankind. The Lord is
Hastening His work and so is<span style="background-color: white;"> Satan</span>...
In order for us to keep him out of our lives, because we certainly will
be tempted in ways we cannot see, is to always be faithful in not only
reading and really escudriñar las escrituras and pondering their meaning
and apply them to our modern lives & having spent many
months among some very choice people of our Heavenly Father and having
gained a testimony of what it takes to try and keep a spotless and happy
life, I have made a personal covenant that everyday i will study and
ponder the scriptures in combination with personal prayers. I know
Heavenly Father has been with me on my mission. During the day I feel
full of energy and don't think about going home but every night I cannot
help but cry my self to sleep at the thought that one more day has gone
by and its one day màs cerca to the day when I will have to leave my
Chilean friends, brothers, sisters and family behind. It is a lot harder
than I ever imagined... I went to the doctor again cause my head is
being annoyed. (pretty sure its just stress) and then Hermana Olson got
hit with the flu! the opposicion is real!!! <br />

Jorge updates:
He is amazing. He saved 2 peoples lives guided by the spirit he told us.
Mario is progressing. He hasn't missed church in 6 weeks (He has a
baptism date but we will probably have to change it because... we prayed
and the answer was that we need to change his fecha).</div>

Despite the horribly awkward Zone meeting we had this past Monday, things have been going well. Hermana Olson and I are working more with the Bishop and investigators and have seen many positive <span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">experiences</span>♥ We contacted a lot again this week and helped finish paint the house that we had been working on for the past few weeks with the Elders. (and got paint in my eye and went blind for like 4 hours!!!!! it was horrible but terribly funny) We also taught a new contact some English who works in an international hotel and said that a lot of North Americans were really rude and pesado when she struggled saying things in English. As we helped and talked to her she had had a opinion de gringos changed a bit and she began to tell us that her grandma had passed away the day before, and we were able to tell her where her grandma was and that she would be able to see her again. It was a real tender mercy moment. This week I had an excellent experience with fasting. I had been studying about it and preparing as this was my last fast and testimony meeting here in </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;">Chile, and I came to the realization that the point of fasting is really to understand the will of our Heavenly Father and so my companion and I prayed to understand His will for us in our last few weeks. We felt that we just need to love the Chilean people, and set aside some of the expectations that WE may have for them and see what Heavenly Father needs of us, and that we need to perseverar. I personally have felt the hand of the Lord in showing us many of their greatest qualities. I have grown a love for how much they do give. many give even when they don't have any to give. I love them. During the day I am thankful to be a missionary and I have been blessed with energy, but at night I cry thinking that one more day has gone by and I am one more day closer to leaving the people I have been so close to and have grown to love very much. I try not to let those thoughts enter but at night I am left to think about how much I love this work and I am so grateful I have been called here to Chile. </span></span><br />

He has progressed and changed so much and has not done drugs since the first lesson we had with him and has a fecha (date) for the 17th of this month. He has gone to church 4 times and during the lessons he uses 2 Book of Mormons. One being from a friend (that he received 5 years ago, that is so warn out the title has been eroded off) and the new one that we gave and dedicated to him.. He uses the one from his friend to mark and ask questions and the other one to read and keep clean looking. He told us this week that a few years back he dressed up like a Mormon and used the Book of Mormon from a friend to go into the jails and sell weed. He would put the drugs in the pages of the Book of Mormon to hide them. He had tears in his eyes and began to explain to us that he feels ashamed that what had helped him do bad things before, is now helping him and saving his life and changing who he used to be. Her reads every day and sends us texts when he does not understand. He has changed so much. I can only hope he progresses and the temptation or withdrawals he has will be over come. I am amazed at the changes the Book of Mormon brings to our lives and the lives of the people we share it with. Family dear I am grateful for you. I am so happy that you have been spiritually progressing with mission calls, bendiciones patriarcales (patriarchal blessings) and reading every day. you are great examples to me.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8999996185303px;"> We have a great ward and we have been blessed. hope you have a great week. take care! </span></span><br />

WELL! Skype was fun (: I loved seeing you guys!! <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥ </span>Everyone looks taller and
bigger! haha Well <span id="goog_950624114"></span><span id="goog_950624115"></span>this week was kind of a long one with the Holidays. No one
really wants to accept a message about Christ around Christmas... Kind of
Ironically sad but at least most of their excuses were because they were with
family (: We knocked a lot of doors and visited a few family members who weren’t
at church this week and it went really well. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week I went on divisions again to
my first sector in Las Avenidas with Hermana Johnson and we found this older
man knocking doors and he told us he was catolico and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t really remember how the conversation
went, but we gave him a Book of Mormon and we had him read Moroni´s promise in
chapter 10. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The older man´s eyes filled
up with tears as he read and we really felt the spirit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He told us that he would read it and read and
pray to see if it was true and then he told us that more powerful than the
promise that he read, was the fact that he was reading the letters in the Book
of Mormon without putting his glasses on and he told us that he was practically
blind. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really believe that through the
love and Power of God he was given his sight to read the tiny letters in the
Book of Mormon without his glasses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
see small and amazing miracles every day, especially after seemingly long weeks
of work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I studied a lot about Jesus
Christ this week and I feel like this year I have really come to know my Savior
Jesus Christ. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The free agency He has
given us really allows us to choose and then know for ourselves what is right, wrong,
better and best. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reading in Moisés 7
this week again reminds me that the God we believe in has emotions, feelings
and really truly loves us as his children. Many of the people we talk to do not
have this knowledge and we see every day how this affects the happiness of the
people. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the people here; Chileans
have such a loving and laid back and familiarized culture. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have taught me a lot of patience and
every week that goes by has been a time of reflection of all the hard long hot
days in the street thinking ´´If we can barely take the heat and the rejection
and the pain in our feet, how did the Savior feel amongst his own people with
pains and sufferings He lived with?´´ It really amazes me. I am so grateful for
His gospel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know he lives and loves us
and I know that the church He organized is active and progressing (: I love you
family!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See you soon. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span></div>

Oh and Jorge is doing great! We saw him last night and he
greeted us at the door with a fantastic long haired wig and it made me think of
my FATHER! hahah and Mario is doing well. He wants to get baptized on the 17th

(Technically) well apparently in La Blanca
(our Ward), the members only celebrate and have dinner Christmas eve!
soo we're going to go to the house of two recent converts, Marianela (the
mom) and Millaray (the daughter) and we're going to pass by people
before because today we have pday from 10:30am-12pm and then we work until
6pm... and then we have MORE pday from 6pm and we can be out until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_175863353" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">11:30pm</span></span>! waiting for el viejito pascuero (the Father Christmas) :P haha</span></span><br />

by with a Christmas card, tarjeta(pass along card) and cookies and to sing to them. I am
not a big fan of singing because that is not where my talents lie, but I
know that hymns really are a prayer from the heart and people are
touched by the hymns that Emma Smith hand chose. We felt the spirit at
every house. ♥ I love the spirit of Christmas. This week the service we
were able to do was basically helping and participating in all the ward

Jorge
(who got baptized two Fridays ago) well and we haven't been able to pass by
his house since, until <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_175863354" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">yesterday</span></span>! He is becoming such a strong person in the gospel♥ He goes to church and all the activities and everything(: anyway! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_175863355" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Yesterday</span></span>
we had a lesson with him in the church with a member (Barbi se llama)
But we've already taught him about it, but we still felt impressed to
go over it with him. So we start talking about the
prophet Thomas S. Monson. We asked if he knew who he was and
everything, and he was familiar but not too sure. So we quickly looked
in the Library for a photo of him JUSTO AYER FUE EL CUMPLEAÑOS DE JOSE
SMITH ENTONCES FUE INSPIRACION DE HABLAR DE PROFETAS! (<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">JUST</span> <span class="hps">YESTERDAY</span> <span class="hps">WAS THE</span> <span class="hps">BIRTHDAY</span> <span class="hps">OF JOSEPH</span> <span class="hps">SMITH) & </span><span class="hps">THEN</span> <span class="hps">TALK</span> <span class="hps">OF</span> <span class="hps">PROPHETS</span> <span class="hps">INSPIRATION) </span></span>thanks much! okay
so I go into the other room, grab a liahona (which is the spanish version of the Ensign) that said "discursos de la
conferencia general"(general conference talks) and thought AH!! this has to have Thomas Monson in
it! okay soo were flipping through the pages and I come to a talk by
Pres. Monson and I'm reading it and it just struck to my core. we shared
this passage with him, "<span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0.008); color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px;">Al
meditar en oración la edad a la cual los jóvenes podrían comenzar su
servicio misional, también hemos considerado la edad a la que las
mujeres jóvenes podrían servir. Hoy me complace anunciar que las jóvenes
dignas y capaces que tengan el deseo de servir, pueden ser recomendadas
para el servicio misional a partir de los 19 años en lugar de los 21." (</span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">By meditating</span> <span class="hps">in prayer</span> <span class="hps">the age at</span> <span class="hps">which young people</span> <span class="hps">may begin</span> <span class="hps">their missionary</span> <span class="hps">service, we have</span> <span class="hps">also considered the</span> <span class="hps">age at which</span> <span class="hps">young women</span> <span class="hps">could serve</span>. <span class="hps">Today I</span> <span class="hps">am pleased to announce</span> <span class="hps">that young</span> <span class="hps">worthy</span> <span class="hps">and</span> <span class="hps">able</span> <span class="hps">to have</span> <span class="hps">the desire to serve</span> <span class="hps">may be</span> <span class="hps">recommended</span> <span class="hps">for missionary service</span> <span class="hps">at</span> <span class="hps">19</span> <span class="hps">years instead</span> <span class="hps">of 21</span><span class="hps atn">")</span></span><span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0.008); color: #2f393a; line-height: 18px;"> We couldn't help but just pause after reading that and look at him in silence. He
looked down at his shoes and nodded his head, pondering what we had told
him. He teaches me more than I feel we teach him sometimes... Soon
after we testified that if it wasn't for Joseph Smith, for the
Restauracion del evangelio, for a modern day prophet, for modern day
revelation, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints here
TODAY on the earth, we wouldn't be here in this very moment. It's so
incredible how glorious this Gospel really is. We say it A MILLION
TIMES. We hear His name daily, but are we really being truly disciples
in all that we do? What shall we do with Christmas this year? I pray
that we all aren't quick to forget Him and that we actually remember
Him in all that we do. That's something, I'm hoping so much as a gift
this Christmas, to fight the natural man and be different from the world
and testify of Him in my actions. I hope you all have the BEST
CHRISTMAS in remembering our Savior Jesus Christ :) I love you all so
much and I can't believe this is my last Christmas in Chile as a
missionary! Hope you all have shared something with your friends this
Christmas about the Gospel (: love you all have a super sassy Navidad
!!!!!feliz navidad 2014!!!!! Hermana Blanca is my mission mommy and I adore her. She is a member of this ward and has a heart of gold. She hand knitted me a sweater and took care of us. We skyped you all at her house this year!</span></span></span><br />

This week I gained a HUGE appreciation for the small things in life. I read a talk about how much we can learn from the nature around us and how we need to appreciate every one of Gods little and simple creations. I also was taught not to take one single breath for granted. This may seem like a funny story but it taught me a very serious lesson. At lunch this week, Hermana Olson got a piece of food stuck in her throat and stopped breathing. She calmly touched me and I looked at her and without asking even one question before the words ''can you breathe'' came out of my mouth and when she shook her head no... somehow the spirit lead us quickly to do the Heimlich and I was able to help her. I know the spirit played a KEY role in helping us. I did not even know how to do the Heimlich... I just remember watching Mrs. Doubtfire and copying what I knew off of that. But afterwords we realized that that could have been a severe accident and later in the apartment we shared a prayer of gratitude and some tears later that night when we returned home. The Lord really does watch over and take care of His children and His missionaries.<br />
<br />
The sector is doing very well. Elder Cabrera seems a lot happier since his grumpy companion left and we have been working well together. The new Elder in our sector is from Hawaii, His name is Elder Kamoe. We played pool today for Pday! Sad to think I only have 5 left....<br />
<br />
This week we did not find service out side of helping set up the nativity for the primary program and organize a caroling group in the ward for next week! That should be way fun. We are seeing miracles with sharing the video "'El es la Dadiva" (I think in English it's ´´he is the gift´´) and I am enjoying the happiness of the people during this time of the year. I feel really blessed for being able to spend 2 Christmas' with the Chilean people (: Hermana Olson has progressed so much. She is starting to teach with the spirit and love the people we are teaching. It has been a precious blessing from her diligence. I hope and pray we continue growing!<br />
<br />
Love you guys! I think we might have to do skyping a bit earlier.... like at 2 or 3 Chilean time♥ But I'll let you know for sure next week! (:<br />

So... There is a lot to catch up on. Hermana Olson is doing great. Improving
mountains worth in the few weeks we have had together and we are getting along
like two peas in a pod (: It has been so fun and peaceful working side by side
with someone who wants to improve and work hard. We have seen miracles from obedience and seen
the atonement change the people we are teaching. Hermana Olson has not been able to train yet
and she heads home shortly after I do but President called and asked what we
thought about her extending and we actually had talked and think it would be a
great idea for her<span style="font-family: "segoe ui symbol" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">♥</span> The experience of training is like nothing
else and President and I feel it really is a necessary for her to have the
opportunity to train a new little missionary like we once were (: anyways....
President ended up calling and asking her to extend and she said ´´absolutely´´
in the cutest voice ever<span style="font-family: "segoe ui symbol" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">♥</span> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
We have seen
miracles. This week has been going well
with investigators and with the members. Jorge is getting baptized and he could
not be anymore excited. We have seen
such a big growth in him and he has noticed a difference in himself as well. He
is 64 and we were able to watch his fears about baptism diminish after a visit to the temple. He said he felt the power of the dedicated
area and he just is so eager to learn and progress. It has been such a blessing to see the
atonement change people and make them want to do and be better people. We have
been so blessed. So this Book of Mormon
reading challenge that we are doing (Read the Book of Mormon in 3 months) is
definitely called a challenge for a reason. We have struggled to keep up with
the three chapters a day but have been able to use a lot what we have read and
shared in personal studies through out the day. (: It has been really hard but really worth
it. We have felt the power and blessings
that come from the Book of Mormon. <span style="font-family: "segoe ui symbol" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">♥</span> We even had a less active start reading with
us and she got up and bore her testimony this week about the power it has had
on her in the past week of reading it.
It is the Book with the most power here on the earth and the book most
taken advantage of... if that makes sense... There is so much power in the Book
of Mormon, but we fail so often to pick it up, read it and meditate the simple
stories inside. One of Satan's tools is
complicacion and complexity. It is NOT
hard to read the Book of Mormon Daily and we DO have time. We just have to put it higher on our priority
list. I love my mission. I will be ready to come home in 6 weeks but
if Pres Cook asks me to extend I cant say that I would say no(; But he wont ask because there aren't any new
hermana Missionaries coming in... But just saying. I love
my mission. La obra del Señor esta
apresurando (The work of The Lord is hastening ) (: I love you familicita. See you soon for skype! Which reminds me we need to pick a time
to do it. I was thinking like 4 or 5 CHILE TIME? Let me
know what you think. (: love you <o:p></o:p></div>

Also we taught about 3 new people this week and ALL are heavy caught up in
drugs but the few times we have visited them they have progressed. One se llama
Renzo (one is called Renzo. Renzo told us that he actually has felt guilty for saying bad words
and his family told us that they have noticed a calmness and peace about him
since we’ve been teaching him. We have seen miracles and tender mercies of proof and evidence that the atonement of
Jesus Christ heals and strengthens. I wish I had more time to write but the things
I want to say would take more time to explain than the amount of time I have /: Hermana Olson and
I are doing magnificent by lifting and helping each other learn. President told
us that he appreciates our example of urgency to share the gospel and told me
in my interviews that it is my job to train her to be ready to train. We have
done lots of practices and are really exercising our talents together. I
absolutely love it. Hope all is well this week. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US">This week
went really well. Jaime was baptized and sad to say not a single member showed
up except for the presidente of the young mens. Not even the Bishop or his
councilors were able to go but our little Jaime wanted to be baptized anyway
and had a LOT of support from many of the missionaries . <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1367503270" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">On Sunday</span></span> we went to
the temple with him and a few investigators and our ward mission leader. It was
an amazing experience. Hermana Olson is
doing fantastic and we are working really hard on our goals together. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1367503271" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">This Sunday</span></span>
the attendance was down by about 10-15 people but we sat in the front with
Jorge and I didn’t notice that there were such few people in church. I actually
felt that the benches were filled, until I looked behind me and saw that a lot
of them were empty, but as soon as I turned back around I felt a very strong
impression that the benches, in reality, were filled with angels and eager
spirits. It was a tender sweet feeling and confirmation of the work and love
and support from the worlds less known to us.
The sacrament meeting this week was very spiritual and it made me really
think of the importance of the ordinances we have in these latter days. Reading this week in 3rd Nephi I gained a
deeper love and gratitude for the Book of Mormon and the registros (records) it contains.
We really are so blessed. Our investigators are doing well. Jorge came to the temple with us with many
opinions and questions and we all worked together with the spirit to answer
them. He is worried that he won’t be ready by the 20th for his baptism and says
he feels a little pressured, but other times he says he had wished that he had
gotten baptized a long time ago because he has lost so much time leaning about
the Gospel. I have faith that he will be ready by the fecha (date) we have have set
and prayed about but I do not want him to feel pressured by us, but by wanting
to be baptized because he truly knows is the right thing to do. The service we
did this week was help a Chilean from Israel that speaks Hebrew, paint her
house and clean it up. She will be moving into out sector in a week and it was
a good opportunity to get to know her and help her and her father. He father asked
us a lot of questions about Joseph Smith, trying to pick little fights but we
answered him very simply and sincerely and he accepted a folleto (brochure) in the end of
the Restauracion (restoration). This week we are going to continue doing practices every day
and learn more about how the spirit works in our companionship. We have seen
many miracles and benefits from doing practices every day and teaching and
learning from each other. I am grateful for the willing heart of Hermana Olson
(: This week was a blessing. </span></div>

PS

the team captains and we killed it!! Ill send pics in un momentito (moment) but

ELDER I have ever met. He has the humor that Haydin and I do but he is
way funnier (; and Ill be sending some pics and you can all see for your
self.

week. The first being Ernan, yes, the man we met who was a little wasted in the street,
is reading he Book of Mormon! He is out of town outside of Santiago for a few weeks but he
calls us and asks us about the people he is reading about (: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also found an investigator, Jaquelin
through classes of English. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We asked her
for scissors to cut out an invitation to give to her and after basically
telling us she was too busy to even come out of her house, she invited us in
and let us cut all the invitations in her house and she introduced us to her 12
year old daughter. After talking with her daughter, Valentina, while her mom
was making us juice, she told us she didn’t believe in God because she has been
bullied since she was very young and that it bothers her that her mom smokes cigarettes
instead of smoking weed because she likes the smell of weed better. My heart
BROKE for this little girl. I couldn’t help but think I had never even heard of
weed, let alone know what it smelt like at 12 years old! We focused a lot on
the young women’s values and she seemed to open up to the idea that there might
be a God that loves and understands her... I realized that I have really taken
for granted the things that have been taught to me in the church, which is SO
not of the world. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I realized many many
times this week the awareness that Heavenly Father has of each and every one of
his children. At the beginning of the week I read the testimony of Alma in
chapter 34 and it brought me to think a lot about the power of the love our
Father in Heaven has for us and Jesus Christ. Love is really what makes us Disciples
of Christ. The sector is going well, the ward is moving along well and the
leaders are working hard. Hermana Olson is doing really well. I know she has
had some difficulties in her past sectors but I think since I knew her from
before the mission we had an advantage to become more united y apollar una la
otra. Sorry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll have to translate that because I can’t
remember how to say that in English (: Well... I wish I could write everything that happened this
week. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I can say that I am WAY beyond
blessed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can say that I feel like
Hermana Olson is like being companions with my cousin Haydin. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
like a powerhouse of spiritual fun. (:<br />

Hope all is well with the family. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I heard Shannon’s grandpa died. :( <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Can you please have her email me???<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sent her a birthday card back in July but I
didn’t hear back from her so maybe the letter got lost or she could just be
really busy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But hey, send my love to
the Tropia family and mom, go visit them and give them a personal hug for me

I am with a new companion from California, Hermana Brittney Olson and we were actually friends up at BYUI so that's pretty crazy and
cool!!! (: We are about to learn a lot together. This week we did service pulling weeds and helping a lady we
found in the street paint her house! It was really fun. really hot and a lot of work!<br />

we came across a man in the street while we were contacting and when
we went to say hi to him he abruptly approached us and got really close
and said ``okay convince me what you have is the truth, CONVINCE ME,´´
noticing he was a little under the influence (or a lot) we asked him some
questions to get to know him a bit and see where he was coming from
before we taught him anything, and he began to ask us some really interesting questions´..... we answered him with a proclamation to the world pamphlet and
explained the importance of families, Ernan interrupted us like every 5
seconds, After walking with us like a whole half block we
decided this wasn't the best situation to be in but something prompted me
to end the conversation by at least inviting him to church. Funny thing
is when I asked him he asked what time it was at and we told him 10 in
the morning and he told us TEN AM THAT'S WAY TOO EARLY FOR ME!! Then
Hermana Jerez told him he needed to start going to church to become a better person
and that he will never know if he likes it if he had never has been before. A
typical response from a missionary, but this time it was an inspired response and he put his hand on his chin and loudly proclaimed YOU HAVE A
GOOD POINT! So we gave him the direction and said he didn't recognize
the street so we told him we would pick him up outside of his house. Then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_964355026" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span> we get a call at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_964355027" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">9:45</span></span>
and we answer and it was Ernan! We gave him our number on the back of
the pamphlet and he called to ask where we were because he was
waiting!! LONG funny hilarious story short, he went to church, asked
13,927,802,875 questions, asked for a Book of Mormon and has been reading
everyday.... We have an appointment with him in 2 hours so pray for
Ernan. haha (: Of course we are going with members but I just think it's interesting how people we don't expect to be prepared for the Gospel are
sometimes prepared... Only Heavenly Father knows and we have to take
advantage of the people that He puts in our path.<br />
<br />
I learned a lot this week about the power the Book of Mormon has and I am
excited to continue reading it and finding hidden answers to the
questions I have. It's a true inspired tool we have from the Lord.<br />

One of my favorite questions Ernan asked <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_964355028" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Sunday</span></span>
was ´´Why is everyone getting up and saying that this church and gospel are
true... is anyone going to get up and say it's false? And why do they
keep talking about this book that is also true?! I want a true Book!´´
(: <br />
<br />
Well I think that's all... Lydia is doing good, the Lady we
found last week who has so many trials, and her family... and the family
from Argentina we found as well are doing super well, all progressing. ♥<br />

Monica did it! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
got baptized! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a precious experience.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course everything had to be hectic
right before the baptism (: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Filling up
the font, her baptism dress not fitting, I had to give an unexpected last
minute talk because the speaker didn’t show up, we lost the keys to the church..
but HEY, after all that, all turned out just great<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥ </span>We found a few new families to teach this week. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The family of Mu<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">ñ</span>oz!

story is so heart breaking. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was raised
without her mom and with an alcoholic father. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She told us she wants to find the best for
her daughters and said she would get baptized if she knew that the church was
true and received a good feeling when she reads the book of Mormon<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span> I can’t even begin to tell
you how bad of a situation she is in but she is so humble... she literally
looks like Lisa Malan.. But she has face piercings and if you judge her from
the outside, she looks harsh but I haven’t met a sweeter person<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span> we found her and talked to

children! She actually told us that her daughter 18 year old daughter Valentina
wanted to meet with us as well (: We went to her house Monday and she seems
like she is not sure she really wants to participate with us on the religion
spectrum of things quite yet, but needed help with her English. We were able to
talk to her about the outcome effects of the decisions we make now, and how
they can help us or hurt us, and I realized that sometimes the decision is not
always between what is right and what is wrong, but rather what is good and
what is better. I hope we continue to see progress with Hermana Araya. Today we
ate lunch with our investigators from Argentina, Natalia and her son, Bruno,
who is 10 (: They are reading and praying and Bruno is going to come to church
this week and his mom is going to try to come to sacrament meeting if the
doctors allow her to leave. She has complications with her pregnancy and is on
bed rest.:( and we found out that Natalia and her husband ARE NOT MARRIED :( so
that might be a challenge but I really think they will be understanding when we
talk more about the importance of marriage and the eternal perspective of
everything<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ward is doing really well, much better than the ward I
came from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Texia hopefully will be
receiving her calling this month as a teacher for principos del evangelio or
para la Soc Soc.!!YAYYYYY!!!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, while studying the plan of salvation this week I
realized a little deeper the importance of families. Our Heavenly Father sent
us to families and I know it is important to Him and for us to return to Him as
families. It made me very grateful for the family that I have and I know this
is one of the biggest blessings of knowing the Plan of Salvation. We will see
our families again. We were able to find a lot of opportunities do do service!
Alejandro, our ward mission leader actually passed by a house and saw a young
lady painting and he sent us her direction. At first when we got there she was opposed
to letting us help, but after a few minutes of talking to her she decided that
just her and her husband painting with two brushes would be a little tiring in
the heat and it would take a while so she happily accepted our help at the end
and she said she had a few questions that we might be able to answer for her
about religion (: So that was a blessing <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t believe I
have only 3 months left. No one is letting me forget it. My mother, the members
and missionaries!! I wanted to keep it secret so I would not have to think
about it but its fine. Presidente Tew actually suggested that I make a 5 year
goal plan at my 6 month left mark and then revise it when I have only 3 left
and that has given me time to plan and then relax and get back to mission things.
This week Monica is on schedule for her baptism (: She will be baptized at 3:30
Saturday<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span> YAYYY she’s so
awesome. (: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
oh and guess what, a virus ate my camera chip like I TOTALLY
knew it would so sending photos might be a little complicated :((<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but someday I will start sending them again

HERMANA ARAYA WENT TO CHURCH!!! <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span> on her own.(: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have not visited her for two weeks, because
each time we have passed by, she has told us she is too busy to receive us, but
she ended up going with two of her youngest sons this week! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was thrilled. (: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope she continues to come. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week was really really slow but I saw a
lot of progression. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Monica finally is
really ready to be baptized and she could not be more excited. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Texia taught her first class of Principios del
Evangelio and should be good to be completely reactivated in a week or two and
her daughter is becoming more active as well (: Elder Guevarra <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>gave a really good lesson about prophets on
Monday and we were able to use a lot of the things he had taught us in door
contacts and taught a lot of people outside of their door. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One man even asked us, ´´Yeah... How come we don’t
have prophets like Adam and Moses anymore?!´´ And we were able to answer his
questions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a blessing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The differences between Hermana Jerez and I
are still there and sometimes I even feel I am teaching lessons alone because
she gets distracted and off topic when we teach, which then makes us have to
rush to our next possible cita, or simply just wastes time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have learned a lot from her this week
though. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know she likes to take time to
get to know people and make them feel special, but there really needs to be a
better balance. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am in love with this
sector. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can see a huge difference
between this sector and Progresso. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
felt in Progresso the people were REALLY open to letting us in their homes to
teach, but the members were not as united. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But here, in La Blanca, I feel the people,
whose doors we knock, are not very receptive although the ward is EXTREMELY
united and concerned for one another. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is interesting the differences and needs of each sector. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last night as I looked out of the apartment
building, I noticed that I could see one person walking in Gran Avenida, and without
even turning my head, I could see another man, two blocks down, entering into
his house. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Neither man knew each other,
but I could see them both at the same time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel like this is how Heavenly Father is
with us and each sector that we are in and He can see us at the same time, but
not only that, He knows what we are thinking and how we feel and what our needs
and desires are and how we play a part in each of our sectors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt a lot of peace to know that He knows
each of us on such a deep and personal level, and I know I need to put more
trust in Him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I read Kind Benjamin´s discourse
that he gave this week and it touched my heart to read how fervently he pleaded
for everyone to keep the commandments of the Lord and that everyone felt true
desires to repent and change. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
such a great example and I loved all of the chapters we read this week.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We finally found someone willing to let us do service! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We cut an older lady´s lawn. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her grass and weeds were like a mile high! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We cut the grass literally with a stick with a
metal sharp nudge at the end lol But through this experience we were able to
tell people about it, and we might be cutting more people´s grass this week!!
Woohoooo (: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we found a way to go
back and visit an inactive that doesn´t want anything to do with the church, we
are going to do SERVICE and help him paint his wall to get rid of the graffiti
(: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fun times on the mission!</div>

Well that’s all for this week I think.....</div>

(Sorry for the
spanglish) and how we need to apply this as much possible as
missionaries so we can put it to practice when we get back home. I told
and actually semi promised my brother Austin late the night before I left on my
mission that I would not change (: That I would come home as myself,
just with a love for the Chilean people and more scripture knowledge.
But I actually missed... or didn't understand the concept that when you
have more knowledge, you want to share, practice, and then become what
you have learned. The more we read about Nefi, the more we want to
become like him and develop his loving, Savior thinking, courageous
self. Conference this week was super great. I learned a lot about
covenant keeping and being consecrated to the work of the Lord. The
profets are a perfect ejemplo de la consegracion (perfect example of consecration). They have given up
many things to magnify their calling and follow the Lord. Many of them
left their jobs, moved to new areas and are completely consecrated to
the work of the Lord, and with a POSITIVE and loving attitude. The Saviors apostles also followed Christ in the same way. They had to leave
everything, but always received in return something better; a deeper
understanding of Christ and His atonement. I thought more in depth about
this when I read Doctrine and Covenants 88:22 in a noche de hogar (home evening) we had with one of our
less active members. As a mission we also have made a goal to read the
Book of Mormon in three months and it's actually fun to kind of read the Book
of Mormon at a more regular pace instead of breaking down scriptures
like I have been doing, it becomes more of a story (: Anyways, I heard
that daddy had cut the cable. Before I would have been like Laman and
Lemuel and complained and been super irritated, but being away from that
for a year has made me realize that we grow a lot more with out
distractions, especially in the home. (Now if dad was mean when he took
the cable away and said mean things, this is another story, but the fact
that it is gone is another thing). I do not believe that that happened,
it was just an example. When we do things for progression and fight the
natural man, we have to do it with charity (:<br />

<div>
Anyways.... This
week was good. Hard as always, but it turned out really well. ♥ Monica
is progressing with flying colors and her baptism date is still set and
ready to to for the 25th. Ill be sending pics later towards the end of
Pday because we can send pics more safely from the church. YAY</div>

We door contacted A LOT and talked with people with really strong testimonies and opinions of their own church which they participate. But each one of them told us that we would all be going to the same place anyways so it did not matter what building we went to workshop or what we called our selves in terms of religion. It made me sad that they were so sure of what they were saying. In our last fast and testimony meeting that we had the other week, our bishop bore his testimony about how Satan is also hastening his work and many of our brothers and sisters, even in the church would be lead away and it is not enough to know with your mind that things are true. We have to know with our heart and the only way to do that is through studies and acting on what we learn. We are very blessed to have such a great bishop who holds meetings and has a lot of goals and expectations for the ward. Even our ward council that we had this past week was a sign of progression, Every one had an assignment and if they did not complete it, the bishop gave them a little lecture and then had them commit to complete it the next day/week depending on what the assignment had been. This ward is becoming really united and I am really amazed. Our investigators are doing really well; reading and praying and we put a fecha this week! Yay! Her name is Monica and she is the mother of one of our reactivating new members (: Were super excited for them! I cannot believe how fast my mission is going! Every one says it goes fast but I could never realize how true it was until I got out here on a mission! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Conference is this week and I am way too exciteddddd♥ </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Take care. See you all in 2 months for skype!! </div>
<div>
EEEEEEK! have a super sassy week! </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">This week went really well. I absolutely love this ward. I had a lot of pain in my head this week and I have never before in my life had a headache, so this week we had to slow down a little bit. My companion is amazing at helping me realize when I need to take it easy. Sometimes I think I'm invincible but she humbles me every now and then and reminds me I am not! Haha</span><br />
<br />
So we went to the temple today with a
new member of our ward who was less active before she came. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a really fun and uplifting experience,
especially because she was in a wheel chair the whole time and she told us she
felt really loved that we had taken her with us, having to change micros twice!
(Large scary wobbly busses we always use here (:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her name is Texia and she is progressing a
lot personally with the recovery time she has which is a huge blessing). </div>
have never before in my life had a head ache so this week we had to slow down a

easy. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
This
week from reading 3 chapters a day from the Book of Mormon (A goal President
put for us). I have gained a love for the relationship Nefi has with Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ. His prayers to me seem so simple, sincere and precious
and these attributes of his prayers led me to study the topic of prayers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Preach My Gospel it says a lot about
prayers and the importance of what we pray for and how we pray. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Prayer has always been more or less an easy
thing for me to do but I started praying more fervently this week and it
actually takes a lot of thinking and energy to pray, listen and receive revelation
and answers, which makes sense because if praying were too easy, everyone would
do it without problems or hesitation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our Heavenly Father I know is very mindful of
each of his children and I am grateful for that. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We currently have 4 investigators that I have
so much hope for their progression, Rita, Camila, Victor and Sandra (who is
actually a reference from metro contacting woohoo!). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully this week we will be able to see
them more since the week of 18 de Septiembre is over (:</div>

So, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really really
want to send photos but I am scared on this computer!!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next week I’ll go to the church to send pics
(: I have some really good ones of our nerf war and when we went bowling
((:<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This sector is so great! But way way hard... yesterday we
knocked doors for hourssss and no one wanted us :( One girl who had about 15
years opened the door, and said ´´nobody’s home!´´ and she didn’t even shut the
door... she just stared at us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermana
Jerez looked at her, and BUSTED UP LAUGHING... I wanted to ask her “if.. the
nobody at home would let us share a message about Jesus Christ”, but the
laughter of my companion distracted me and made me giggle so the girl shut the
door. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I definitely do not blame my companion
because we had had a longgg day with the people here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone’s favorite excuse that we talk to
actually turns out to be… ´´ I am Catholic, but I don’t have time to go to
church and God understands´´ or something along those lines..... They use the
love of Heavenly Father as an EXCUSE. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t
understand.. I am sure if Hermana Jerez and I had a million dollars to give
them, they would be ´´unbusy´´!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the
sad thing is that the message of eternal families is worth a lot more than a
million dollars and people aren’t ready to understand that yet /: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But we have had REALLY cool experiences with the lessons
that we have taught. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are seeing the
atonement work in two of the families in particular in the ward that we have
been working with these past 5 weeks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
started doing family prayers and reading together and the oldest daughter in
the family told us she said the prayer to bless the food for the first time in
years<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span> (: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are really excited. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
NEWS OF THE WEEK: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well
I don’t know if you know, my dear family, but we will be on lock down from 6pm
tonight until this Friday morning in our pension (apartment) because on September
11th <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(41 years ago) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the military invaded here and killed a bunch
of people so it is more or less celebrated by a day of rioting.... and it is
dangerous outside. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was actually a
bomb placed in the metro and it exploded and wounded 8 people and paralyzed a
few people as well! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BUT MOTHER RHONDA
FISHER COOK, don’t worry (: We are super protected. Oooohhh, cool story about
protection: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was actually a truck
crash this week in our sector and we could have been on that street at the
moment that the crash happened but we decided to go two streets up and contact
a different street for 30 minutes... and in this short time a truck had plunged
into a parked car, hit a tree and the driver died... WE ACTUALLY SAW A DEAD
PERSON! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Hermana Jerez and I
recognized the protection we had had. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"> </span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, I watched a mensaje Mormon (Mormon message) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>this week about pornography and it talked
about the danger that it has on families and I LOVED IT’S MESSAGE!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I read
Moses chapter 7-9 because of this 3 minute video and it has changed my mission.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had a super hard time my past 2
transfers but the message of the atonement in this video made me feel powerful
against Satan and powerless in comparison to our Heavenly Father, I recommend
you watch it and analyze it as a family for FHE <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">♥</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had an earth quake of 6.4 here on Saturday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hermana Jerez and I were in the street
contacting and we knocked on a door and right when the man came out of his door,
we heard a crunching sound and I looked down the street and the road was like
an earth river wobbling!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man walked
out of his house as the ground was moving and shaking, and I grabbed on to
Hermana Jerez and asked what we should do hahahha! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We waited a minute and then it calmed down and
you know what the man said when he got to the fence where we were standing
scared half to death?? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said, ´´I’m
catholic and I don’t care about you guys and your religion, good day.´´ AND
WALKED BACK IN THE HOUSE!!!! I honestly don’t think he noticed... and if he did
he was a cold hearted old man to leave us standing there before seeing if we
were at least okay! But oh well... <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
walked to the next house and rang the doorbell and a lady came out and told us
to go back to our house because she said the aftershock is sometimes stronger. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But...we continued to the next house and
then all the lights shut off and it got really dark and a teensy bit scary, but
we knocked one more door, trying to take advantage of the situation and another
lady came out scared to death and we asked if she was okay and she told us that
she was scared and really appreciated us asking and having desires to preserver
and share the gospel but she told us we really needed to go to a house until
the lights came on... So... this time we took her advice and went to Hermana
Blanca Bronzale´s house and her and her family is so precious! They gave us
food and Mate and we ended up being able to get to know her family a bit more
and have a lesson with them... So there is blessing number 1 of the terremoto
(earthquake), the second is that after this, the lights came back on and we
continued contacting... <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then it started
to rain REALLY HARD, we were practically swimming (: but we knocked on this one
guys door and he told us he knows a bit about the church and long story short,
he tried to lie to us about his name, but we joked with him and told him he
needed to be a better liar or just tell us his name. He laughed and invited us
in WOOHOO. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We taught him, his mommy and
met his 98 year old grandma who had as many jokes and energy as Grandma Evelyn
did. BLESSING number 2! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we had to
run home in the pouring rain for 30 minutes to make it home on time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>LOVE THE MISSION LIFE (: it was a long but
successful day. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I learned a lot about
diligence on Saturday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week we also helped this guy push his car back to his
house and in his garage and he invited us back to see if we could teach him YAY
for service. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, Juan, a friend of a
recent convert gets baptized this Saturday!!!!!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so excited ((: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well..... I’ll send pics soon but I am scared to send
anything because this cyber has eaten a lot of people’s memory with viruses...
So next week we will send pictures from the computer from the church. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also... We did a huge Nerf war with the zone and it was way
fun.<img src="webkit-fake-url://725457F5-E463-4CC2-9406-8FB0E436A4FE/imagejpeg" /></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Hi (: how are you all doing. This week went really well. Our apartment is like a <b>palace </b>compared to the last house we were in, I love this sector! It is a lot bigger and the Bishop is awesome. And my companion is super precious and humble. BLESSINGS♥ This week I was studying in Nefi 8 and 15 about the tree of life and I was thinking.... Why did people choose to go to the Tree of Life when clearly the Great and Spacious was more glamorous and popular... I have come to the conclusion that the testimonies of those who had tried it, helped them to have desires to try it for themselves. Lehi was the first to taste of the pretty and pure white fruit and found it to be delicious, and then invited his family to taste it as well. It made me think of the importance of missionary work and simply inviting people to come and partake. As members of the Church we have the blessing of the fruits of the gospel, in which we know will bring us to Eternal Life with our families for EVERRR♥ Our friends may not be aware yet of the blessings this Gospel can bring, and possibly, with out our testimonies and examples, they will never know. Sooooo.... invite someone to a Family Home Evening, Church activity, Family BBQ, Sacrament meeting or what ever you like to help bring people close to Christ in these times of stress and difficulty. You may end up helping save someones eternal life♥ </span></div>

Also Hermana Sprenz got here this week and she is WAY TOO CUTE♥ I hope I am in the same zone as her before I go. She is a tender mercy! We are the only 2 hermanas from Nevada, she is a little piece of home for me. I love new missionaries when they come in!! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I am back in the Zone La Cisterna♥ but in a different ward (: I am super happy!!! Hermana Castleton and I actually traded places... she is in the ward Progresso and I am in La Blanca now with her old companion hahaha (: This week Hermana Lepin and I worked really hard and actually had the most lessons and divisions we have ever had together. It was really awesome. I am sad to leave that ward actually but I am happy to be with my new companion Hermana Jerez. She is from Argentina and has the cutest accent ever. It took me about 4 hours to smash everything in my suit case, every change I gather more and more things and it gets harder to pack! hahaha Nancy, the cute Colombian that always writes mom on facebook gave me a super cute skirt to wear when I get home and a few investigators gave us some clothes and LOTS of food. The people here are so precious. I just wish they would put as much effort in their personal progression as they do in the concern they have for others. Well.....this week the Lord taught me a lot about the atonement. President shared a scripture with us that we have all heard before, but he shared something with us that I absolutely loved. He read us Éter <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">12:27</a> and pointed out that the word ´´weakness´´ in this verse is singular, not plural... and Sometimes we feel like we are swimming in a freezing cold river against the current. And that Jesus is on the other side cheering us on. But President Cook told us that actually that would contradict the meaning of the atonement and Jesus Christ is actually in the water, swimming right along side of us, supporting us when we get tired and encouraging us to keep going. I knew this to a certain extent but I really loved this example. I shared this scripture with a family after lunch and they loved it as well. Presidente is awesome. It was what I needed to hear to start this change I am looking forward to working with Hermana Jerez and hope that we can help a lot of people together in this sector. Oh, and the apartment is BEAUTIFUL that we are in. We are on the 11th floor and I am obsessed with the view (: Our first P-day we went and played soccer with the Zone y tomamos mate (: yayyyy. </span></div>

I had many many experiences that testified that our Heavenly Father hears us and knows what we need to here/see and do. This Thursday was a struggle to start our weekly plans again, but I ended my personal study with a pleading prayer asking Heavenly Father to please please help Hermana Lepin to have the desire to plan today, and in the middle of my prayer after I had pleaded for this, Hermana Lepin walked in the room and shouted ESTOY LISTOY HOY PARA PLANIFICAR ! I felt Heavenly Father´s love so strongly I teared up. Heavenly Father is truly aware of our needs and desires and I know He helps us according to our tiny and specific needs. This week I read a lot in 1 Juan and 2 Juan (John) about amor (love) and in 1 Juan <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">4:18</a> that talks about how if we have love we don't need to fear. I thought at first this meant the love we show to others, but as I started to read in 2nd Juan (John) I realized the truly greatest amor (love) that we can have is for our Heavenly Father, and we can show this by keeping his commandments. I absolutely loved the Zone meeting we had this week about obedience and Joseph Smith (we read DYC 105) and el Campo de Sión (camp Zion). This was another testimony builder for me that Heavenly Father is aware of our needs, it was exactly what I needed to hear to help me keep going and not feel helpless. The sector is doing well, this week Hermana Lepin was sick for three days with something in her stomach and we were only able to do 2 divisions, but they went really well. Another tender mercy that happened this week was that Obispo Ortega the other week asked every one to prepare them selves through out the week for testimony meeting the following week, and the results of this commitment he gave was a VERY spiritual testimony meeting. The members really put thought into their week to actually prepare to share their testimonies and it was an extraordinary testimony meeting. Almost every one tried to share their testimony and the bishop had to cut about 4 people waiting off so that we could end more-or-less on time. It was spectacular. this week we found service! We painted a Lipigas company`s wall for an old investigator of ours with the Elders in our ward and Elder Marshall and Elder Miller. It went really well. I wish we could have brought someone from the ward to help us paint, but it was too early for a lot of them. Also, we tried to save a cat from a tree (Sounds odd but its a cool story!) This man named Max came up and asked what we were doing and when we told him we were trying to help this baby cat, he grabbed his car and climbed up on top of it and pulled the cat down. He asked us a few questions and in the end he asked us to come by and share a little bit about the Church with him. Saving cats in trees is something I never do, first of all because I feel its a waste of time because there are a lot of cats in Chile, and second of all because I am not a big cat fan, but I felt like we could take 5 minutes this one time to try and it resulted in finding someone new to teach(: We had to drop 4 of our investigators last week and we are keeping 2 that seem to have potential to progress♥ Also we had a cool experience with a pastor from the Evanjelica church.. we contacted his house and he refused to listen to us and almost shut the door but we asked if he needed a service and he told us we could do him a service and go to his church and of course we couldn't so we sat there trying to talk to him and he brought up fasting and told us that he fasts for 7 days and all this stuff so we stuck to the theme of service and sacrifice, and resulted in laughter and a visit next week. I doubt he will be converted but it was way cool to be in the street laughing and making jokes with a Evanjelica pastor and 2 Mormon Missioneras(: It felt really natural, almost like we didn't have different religions. ♥ He stopped being mad at us and let us talk and share a teensy teensy bit and said he'd ask his boss or something like that if he had service for us to do (: </span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Well, as hard as these changes have been for me, I am grateful for them. Every time I want to give up trying to work with Hermana Lepin and obediencia, The Lord sends a tender mercy to keep me going and help me remember that trials are short and in some small way I am helping Him, although I feel like I am struggling and not progressing. hahah I love my companion. She has many great qualities I have learned from, she has a lot of good methods to teach principles in lessons. I am just tired and worn out haha but HAPPY HAPPY (:</span><br />

But this week the bishop told us in front of about 6 people during the ward council that no one wanted to give us lunch, that we are not working hard and all we do is goof around. He blocked us from working in the street called Aurora (Where 3 of our investigators are) and took us out of the Young woman's. I think this is the first time I have been this falsely accused of things in my life. But guess what. The Lord knows our work and our numbers this week were the highest they have ever been in this sector. We are working really hard and we feel good (: I really don't know what the Bishop wants us to improve, and I don't know if he knows either. But we will continue to try and gain his trust through out the weeks we have here. On my agenda I have a super cute picture of Jesus hugging a little girl and it gives me so much hope and love, sounds cheesy but its so true. Heavenly Father knows why we are in the situations we are in and we teach our investigators and less actives this every day and I really believe and know that this is true. I used to think Satan gave us trials because Satan also knows us, but trials are simply trials... and WE get to choose if they move us closer or father away from Heavenly Father. There is a saying that says every situation we are in depends 10% on the situation and 90% on our attitude (: It is so true. Also, Waldo found me again this week which is always a tender mercy from the Lord. Waldo was the fist person the Lord allowed me to find, teach and baptize (: He is doing well and always gives me hope and faith that good things are to come. ALSO!!! EDWARDO GOT BAPTIZED!!

Cook as our president. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He came to visit
our ward this week and set goals for us to work for for the next few weeks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, this week we went back to reteach an old
investigator who is now very prepared to live the gospel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She has been reading the Book of Mormon on her
own for a month now and calls us EVERY NIGHT without fail to tell us what she
has read. She just has a hard time committing to go to church because she is
really sick and has to take pills and eat every half hour or so, but she has
committed to try her best. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her name is
Bernarda and we helped her clean her house this week and after we had a mini
lesson with her and told her we were going to teach her more about family
history the next visit and she got really excited. It amazes me sometimes the
power in leaving people who don`t seem to be progressing. They notice a
difference after we leave :) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It takes a
lot of faith to leave them because they get used to the visits and we start to
love them... but it’s necessary for their growth sometimes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week we also had a really amazing experience
during planning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We actually had a
really rough start at the beginning of the day and I told Hermana Lepin we couldn’t
plan without the spirit so we sat in silence for a while so Hermana Lepin could
calm down for a little bit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We actually didn’t
start planning until 12:30, but when we had felt better and talked things over,
we were able to say a prayer and feel more content. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We received personal and companionship revelation
for the sector and in the past three days we were able to have every lesson
with a member. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a miracle!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I realized that we really cannot do anything without
the help of the spirit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that if
we had started planning feeling discontent and upset, we would not have felt
the impression to make the list and call the hermanas. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I feel so much better out working in the
