Two Bushes

I have a new companion! Her name is Hermana Puchi and she is from chile! That means very fast spanish. She also knows really great english so thats a blessing.


I got very sick this week from eating bad lettuce. I had to stay home from the work! Boo! Missed my moms hugs, but Ill get those soon enough.

Im now leading my companion because I know our area better. Its quite the switch up but Its cool to see all I am capable of!

After work on our way home for the night we walked through El Persa! A guy walked up holding two bushes and said "msjfnrowkdnsñ" (none of us understood)

Its not that funny now that im writing it out but it was funny in the moment. Just a guy holding two bushes.

Easter morning I was doubting the easter bunnys capability of visiting me in Chile. I was sad. But I went outside and on my door was a two bags of chocolate eggs!! I was so so happy. Thank you easter bunny. 

Also, 
Thank you Jesus Christ for your sacrifice! I spent some time reading the story of christs resurection and it is really fascinating. Take time to study a story in the scriptures. Its worth it!

People do not celebrate Easter here! I went to three houses for family home evening yesterday and zero eggs. It was weird. We did eat bread with cheese and cut up hot dogs on it...

My friend gave me homemade orange marmalade with a "you can do it" on the lid. Every time I open my fridge now I say "yeah I can!"

Theres a little girl named Dayis. She is the cutest and she is the neighbor of a girl we are teaching. She said 

"I want my own lessons!!" So we said "okay go ask your mom!"

A week later we passed by to teach our friend and Dayis RUNS up to me and says "MY MOM SAID YES PLEASE TEACH ME!!" With a big hug. We taught her right after the neighbor and it was the sweetest. Every time we pass by and shes playing outside she screams "HOLAAAA!!" Across the street. 

Dayis was my dream of becoming a missionary. Having a little girl run up to me wanting to learn the gospel. Im pretty happy out here.

Death by cats

I ate lunch at a sister's house! She had 5 cats and two dogs. She made pizzas for us by hand, really really yummy. But I think the pizzas had cat dander in it... annnd Im allergic to cats. so before I knew it I began sneezing sniffling and my lungs began to swell. I should have known that when my companion was sniffling too it would be bad. Later that day I went to a house with six cats. Yippee. At least the lessons went well and they felt loved. Im teaching a pregnant lady. She had her baby yesterday! Super cool and super fun text to receive. We were teaching Eduardo for a while. In our last lesson he said at the end "I don't want to take anymore lessons from you.. but here are some cookies" (so we dont hate him I'm assuming) it was kinda funny but also pretty sad.  But we got break up cookies! Cooked milanesa with Elder Ballejos, Elder Johnson, Hermana Mcmullin, and a family from our ward. It is an Argentinian dish so Ballejos was very proud. Learning more and t...

Proposals

  Hola todos! I got proposed to twice. One time went like this. "How do i get closer to God?"  "Go to church! Its down the road every Sunday at nine am!" "Okay. I want to marry one of you." Real slick. I was able to serve in the city for a day! In the mission we have one day every transfer where you get to switch companions. I was sent to the city with Hermana Crespo from Bolivia. We visited this home that housed about 20 people. Five little boys were playing soccer in the "house". I use quotes because there wasn't a roof in this section of the house. Well they allll started calling me "tia tia tia!" And I said "ay! Call me Hermana" and they all said "okay okay."       Ten mins later they started calling me "ella ella!" Exactly how my first name sounds.... huhhh?? Weird because they don't know my first name! Well I guess these kids call women "ella" because shortly later I heard them call ...

Thats a name of a person we tried to find this week. Ive been saying it nonstop in my head. Water in the ceilings.. condensation on the walls.. yup. The elders left the baptismal font running hot water all week after their baptism last sunday. They said that a good chunk of the mission is dealing with baptismal font problems so yay! Marked off my first one this week! Our friend who is 12 couldnt come to church because her ride canceled on us. I was praying while the church service was starting and Dayis just walks in and sits with us. She said she walked herself to an hermanas house, knocked the door, and made her take her to church. HAHAAA I LOVE GOD!! We baptized my friend Loreto yesterday! The dog we named Comida is always in town and sometimes follows us. Well these two little 7 year old girls run around this apartment complex and love Comida. Comida ran away, and the little girls started screaming "COMIDAAAA". The neighbors were giving weird looks, but you gotta give it ...
