Ok I just had to add a picture of us on the houseboat!8/6/2007
Well, hello to everyone. Thanks for the pictures, I can’t even begin to tell you how cold it has been here….freezinggggg and so i absolutely love your pictures of you guys tan, on the house boat, so hot that you can’t stand wearing anything of clothes. That has got to be the best. I have been here for a year and have yet to wear short sleeves. But let’s just think about who is really receiving the blessings and who is having more fun! Meeeeeeee!! JJ no J but it looks like you guys are having fun, mom and dad, you guys haven’t done that in a long time and so it is great that you are able to take a break for a little bit. That is great.
So me, I don’t have a whole lot of news. I am absolutely exhausted. It is interesting being with someone that has never been on the misión and is in the groove already. It is a big change. Like it is weird because this is her country, not mine and I am showing her around, show her how things go, what it is like in southern chile. She says that sometime she understand more than she does because they have a southern accent here. So that is interesting. It is weird because as a new missionary lots of times the Words just leave you and you don’t know what to say. And so you look at your compaino to save your butt. So that is what she does to me. It is so weird that i am the one teaching and training. I don’t feel like it should be that way. I feel like i need so much help and need to learn so much. We are doing great though. It is exhausting because these few days, everything has been on my shoulders because she doesn’t have any idea, but she is learning quickly and doing great. It is a blessing that she isn’t a gringa. That World be terrible. So at least I have that. But it is fun because too it helps make me a better missionary, i am improving in a lot of things and doing things better in things that i had gotten a little lazy. It is something need, it give you an extra little boost to get on the ball. It is being weird being one of the missionaries with more time on the mision. Like i am the oldest, misión wise, in the Branch now, how weird is that that i have more experience.
My comp is great though. She teaches really well and is doing great, she won’t need me in no time. We even put two people with a baptismal date her second day on the misión. And so that is awesome, we have been working with them soooooooooooooooooooooooo much, it is about time, they have had a date twice already but this time they are going through it, they are abuelitos and are so darn cute. I love them, they are so funny, they are 77 and 76. but we are going to go out and find even more people, we have the capacity in our companionship and the lord is going to bless us so much because she is new and needs to see how the misión really should be. It is great.
It is funny, all the members and all the people were so happy that I stayed, they all said, que bueno que te quedaste. They are cute. They were pumped that I said again because they all thought for sure that I was leaving. But nooooooo. It is cute. I love frutillar, really I love everywhere I have been. I have a special place in my Herat for all of the places. But we are already seeing miracles together and we have only been together for like five days. She said that she can tell that I am tired or that I am preoccupied about something, in English I think the Word is worried. Sorry, we are reading in English the bom and she asks me how to say things and i don’t remember, ahhhhhhhhhhh. But in the end i have a bit of a burden, a worry in making sure i can be a good example for her, so she learns everything and doesn’t have to break bad habits later but learns all the good things now.
We are in pto varas right now, we saw Alejandra and are going to meet back up with her again in a bit. It was sooooooooooo awesome. Matthias, her husband, received the priesthood yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome is that!! I love it!!!! He is progressing so quickly!! It is amazing! She wrote me a setter that is so awesome. Something i Hill cherish forever. She wrote more about the dream that she had with me. She siad that i promised her that i World find her and bring her the gospel. That she was sooo sad that we were going to be separated and that she came to the earth a lot earlier than i did. She remembers everything perfectly, she knew exactly how it was going to be. The best is to see how happy her family is how they have changed and gotten better. I love it. It is amazing to know that I really fulfilled with what I promised her I was going to do, that I CAME and found her like I said i was going to do, and i don’t doubt that it really is true. She bore her testimony to me in her setter and it was so beautiful because there was one point when she told me that she didn’t have a testimony and didn’t know if everything was true, and now she knows it all, she knows it is true and is working hard to get back into the church. What an amazing miracle it has been to know her. I feel something so incredibly special with her, it is something so different than anything I have ever felt. I don’t know how to describe it other than how it is in the scriptures, an immense joy, un gozo inmenso y eterno, es increíble de verdad. Soy tan bendecida por haberle conocido y experimentado lo que he experimentado. Amo la mision y la iglesia. Se que esta es la iglesia verdedera y la unica. I love the misión and this is the true church, i have no question about that.
That is about it for me. Yeah mom, thanks for the clothes, fit good but the north FACE is a little small but it Works great still. Thank you so much for everything that you do for me. It is true the setter that dad sent form pres hinckley about the missions and what we should learn. I know i am prideful with you guys, that i have a great weakness in how i treat you all and that i should show more respect for all of the family. I know that i am ungrateful a lot with you guys. But it is true, the misión gives you another appreciation for your family and for your parents. It is so true. I have seen how incredibly lucky i am to have been born in our family, with my parents, where i am and in the church. I am incredibly blessed and am so very grateful. Thank you mom and dad for always being so faithful in the church. More than anything else that you could have ever given me that is the greatest gift you have and will ever give me, the restored gospel of Jesús christ. There is nothing better than that. That is the best gift we can give to anyone. Thank you for raising me in the church and teaching me everything about the church and never living up on us and making sure that we stayed active and were faithful. Thank you for dragging me to mutuals and activities, and making me fulfill with callings and assignments, dad for the countless talks you made me give when you were in teh bishopric, thanks for the examples you have always given. Stay strong, keep up with the good work and we will all be blessed.
Mom don’t miss me to much, you aren’t missing much, I have only got more feisty. It is weird, i think i told you, i don’t remember much about home anymore. The memories are faint, but it does make it easier to do what i have been called to do here, doesn’t mean that i won’t be ecstatic to see you all again, that his for sure. Thank you for everything. You are all in my prayers.
Mom, what happens with the classes??
Happy anniversary Erica and Jake!!!
Love ya all, hna pratt
