The One with the Party at President´s House! 7/12/17

JULY 12, 2017

 Hello everyone!  I don´t have a long time to write and not much to say! This week was great and I am getting used to being the Hermana Leader! It is really fun and I am really seeing that the Hermanas have a lot of problems! LOL it is hard and I feel like we really are there for moral support and just being the drama settlers! It makes things interesting
I am loving my new ward and the people in the ward. It is different from my other areas that I have been and I love it. The Southern part is a little more sketchy but the people seem more open here. Maybe it is because they are more humble here in San Bernardo. It is great and there is a lot of work to do! 
Okay, so today we had the celebration of our one year here in the mission! We were invited to President´s House and we had lunch with them, we shared a mini testimony meeting of what we have learned this past year. It was really spiritual and a great time with my group. We really have been able to grow together and see changes in ourselves for this past year. It is interesting to see the changes I have made and the person that I am continually striving to become and be. That is a little bit about what I shared actually, that I have learned who I am. That I am no longer looking at who I can eventually become, but seeing who I am right now, and loving it. It is amazing to be able to say I have made the decision that I no longer will say "I will be......" and "I AM....." It is great and something I am continually learning to do! 
After we shared as a group (which we are English speakers so it was a day full of English) we went upstairs and us Sisters watched Beauty and the Beast!!! It was amazing!!!!! I loved it and it is the BEST movie I have seen in a year!! Maybe it is because I have been a missionary for a year, but still.. it was incredible! We finished the day hanging out with President and Hermana Gwilliam the rest of the day! 
I hope you are all happy and enjoying life because it is short and we need to enjoy every minute! I love you all so much!!!! 

Work Hard, Pray Harder!

The One with Accepting God´s Will 10/18/17

OCTOBER 18, 2017 Hello family and friends! I hope all is well and that you all had a great week and that everyone is getting ready for Halloween! This week here in Chile was a little crazy but full of learning and growing opportunities. To start out  the week we got a call from our Bishop at 6 in the morning informing us of the saddest news. A recent convert in our ward that we have been teaching lost her husband this week from a brain aneurysm. It was a rapid and uncontrollable loss.  This family has had more trials that anyone I have ever met. They have a one year old baby who had a tumor on the back on her neck and head that was the same size as her head. Part of her brain was inside of this ball, so the surges were sooo hard to do! The first one was to just split her skull open to make room, then another operation to push her brain inside her head, then had another emergency one because the blood wasnt flowing right. THe baby had a 2% chance of living... and did! She still

The One with Being Bold! 11-8-17

NOVEMBER 8, 2017 Hello friends and family how are you all doing this week! I am doing great here in the mission Chile Santiago South This week was a week full of conferences. We had one as the South part of the mission and then we had a huge one as a whole mission and the West mission. It was crazy! While we were there I realized how tiny our mission is and how few of us there really are. The West mission has many many missionaries and we are just so few, but we are the best! The west mission were all serious and our mission was a fun and excited! We are like a big, happy family! We had a special visit from Elder Christensen and his wife from the 70. They gave some powerful and uplifting talks! Something that stood out to me was a quote by Elder Christensen that said BE BOLD! I love this so much! It is soooo important to be bold in all that we do as missionaries! It is vital to share the Gospel and our Testimonies with Boldness! But not just missionaries with nametags all members need

The One with "Being Where My Feet Are"

FEBRUARY 8, 2017 These are family home evenings with some of my favorite families in our ward and also with a new convert that we have! His name is Christian and he was baptized just a week before I came to the sector! He is a miracle and such a faithful member! He is one of the coolest people I have ever met! HELLO EVERYONE!!!  Okay so this week was a great one! Honestly never really had a bad one because I am just radiating with happiness! Buuuut this week was BAKAN! We did a lot of searching for people but also had some really powerful and uplifting moments with investigadores. We met on lady named Rosa and she was outside her house painting. I told Hermana Knechtel that we should go ask if she needed help. SHe told us no and turned her back to us as if she didn't want to talk. I thought... you are not getting away that easy... I walked around to where I could see her face and introduced myself. I am not sure what changed her mind but she opened right up and st
