Well, life has been very very interesting in these last few days. I have had some interesting experiences to say the least. I saw hna agurto, she is doing awesome as ever, i cant wait to see her again and hang out, she was like, wow hna you talk! It was funny.
That is so awesome about granny, i am so pumped for you all. You will have to send my pictures of course. That is rad. It is about time. It is a great blessing in our family. I am glad. And i am really sorry to hear about grandma Nina. She is wayyyyyyyyyy better off now then she was here. It is sad to think that she has passed on but I know she is relieved of all of her pains and her sickness. She lived a long long life. Send my love to papa. I know that papa loved her dearly because he always did everything he could for her. I am sorry i can’t be there for the funeral but i am there in spirit.
So, we really haven’t met the ward yet because we had general conference but we had to travel back and forth to pto varas so we could match it, it is about a 40 bus ride. So we did that twice this weekend. The Branch is soooooooooo incredibly excited to have sisters. They love us, they way want the hnas and the other wards were like, why don’t we have hnas. So it is awesome. We got a hugeeeeeeeeeeeee greeting, they are way pumped to have us. It Hill take me awhile to get used to the Fact that i am in a Branch and not a ward. such is life. So life is great with them and the pres is awesome, he is a great guy.
So, because we had to go to pto varas these last few days i got to see Alejandra yesterday. She is seriously amazing. It was the greatest miracle, her husband mattias went to church!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was aweosmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I know he is going to get baptized, i was sooooooooooo pumped to see them there. The night before i called them up so they could feed us lunch, so we ate at their house between the conference. It was good. Alejandra is a very observant person and she told me that i looked sad. I didn’t realize it but i really had been sad since i found out that i was leaving pto varas. I wasn’t ready to leave, i was hardly there at all. I wanted to stay with Alejandra, i wanted to work with her more. I didn’t realize that i really was having a hard time adjusting to the other area, where we don’t know anythingggg, we are learning though, we are figuring it all out. But we talked for a little while. I figured out that i was sad because i didn’t know what was going to happen with us, if i was going to stay in contact with her or what. As we talked i realized that we really did form an eternal friendship in a few short weeks. That she is doing great and she really is going to be re-baptized. She wants to be baptized when i can be there to see it. She is planning on coming to the states when i get back and she told me she wants to do friend things with me, not just missionary things (ring any bells JJJ the story of my life…waiting). I am so incredibly blessed to have met her. There is something so incredibly special, she wrote in my bom thank you for keeping your promise and finding me. So, now, i talked to my comp about everything and i am good to go. I am back with all of my excitement and all to work hard and find people where we are. The people there are great and receptive, we have found a ton already and miracles are happening, we are planning a baptism for two weeks from now. I know that i will see Alejandra and we will be friends forever. I think we are going to eat lunch with her today. Mom, you need to email her to hook her up with celion dion, Alejandra@aquamotion.cl she is going to vegas sometime in November i think.
So life really is great. My companino is great but it is soooooooooooooooooooo werid to be with a gringa, it is soooooooooooo weird. And yes we speak a lot of English but i am trying not to. It is different because we have the same culture and same background. She is a lot of fun and has a ton of energy. She is awesome.
So the members of the ward that i just left were way sad that we were leaving. I made a good friend there too. I put her in charge of Alejandra, to have fhe’s with her and mattias and to make sure she stays in the church and has a friend there. This hna is awesome, we always talked a ton. She is fun. I made a lot of good friends there in a very very short time. The lord knows why i am not there right now, it wasn’t what i wanted but it is the best and i feel like it is the best. Unfortunately i am an all or nothing kind of person and with the good friends i made there i am an all person and i can’t give my all in a friendship because i am a missionary. But i am good now, my comp is being very patient with me talking about eh miracles that have happened with Alejandra. I was reading my journal when i first met her and it was incredible what i wrote, how pumped i was to meet her and how special i thought she was the very first time i met her. It is amazing. Oh and mom, don’t be mad but i gave her the skirt and shirt from Macys , the black and maroon one, she loveddddddddddddddddddddddddd it. Oh another cool thing, so we were watching conference and in the last session they sang i need thee every tour, it is one of my favorites. One day when Alejandra was doing bad we called her up and sang that song to her on her voice box. Yeah, we all know how well i sing. so she got all excited that they were singing it, i started singing with the choir in english, and all of a sudden i hear that Alejandra is singing, IN ENGLISH, she knew the words, and she was like no, i don’t know the words, she said she just started singing it like she knew it, it was really cool and really weird, it just CAME to her mind. Maybe we used to sing it before. She is amazing. It has been an amazing experience and i still can’t believe it. But god is amazing and now her husband is more interested in the church and they are doing better as a matrimony. I am so blessed and alter all is said and done, i can only say that the chruch is true and if it wasn’t i wouldn’t be here, i Would have never found her and she Would have never had that dream with me in it. The misión is amazing and i have so many blessings and wonderful experiences. It is really hard to leave people that you have grown so close to but really this life is just a small time. But i am doing great and having a ton of fun with my new comp.
so yes we are speaking a lot of English and my comp has told me manyyyyy times already how much my English is bad. we sang in English and we both realized how i rolled my r´s!!!!!!! oh no!!!!!!!
