The One with the Earthquakes!!! 4/26

 APRIL 26, 2017
This week was crazy that is for sure!! We had many many many mini earthquakes this week that are called Temblores in SPanish... not sure what they are called in English lol. It is basically an earthquake but smaller! BUT there were 2 that we super strong and we felt very easily! Both of them we were in the apartment on the 4th floor which makes it so we feel them even more! We were falling asleep for the first one and both woke up with pounding hearts! It was awesome!!! Everything in the room was shaking, the beds, the dresser, the closet doors.... everything!! It was kinda scary but more cool than anything!! Then like 2 days latter we had another one and it was very long and even stronger than the 1st! My poor companion has so much fear and cried a little bit! Poor thing! I was loving it!! HEHE! So that is what happened with the Earthquakes!
This week we had a reactivation of an in-active member, her name is ANa and she has 15 years! She is a miracle for us! She has progressed so much and now is all set with her firm testimony of Christ! She is now going to seminary, church, and doing her Personal Progress! For over 3 years she didnt want anything to do with the church and now she is stronger than ever! A real blessing for us missionaries and as her friends!! We also had a married couple who are in-active come to church this week for the first time in over 10 years!! We have been working with them really hard and finally they came to church!! 
This week have been praying to have someone have the desire to get baptized. We have many investigators but dont quit have the desire to get baptized yet, but we keep working with them. So we asked Heavenly Father to lead us to a person who wants to get baptized! We went on SUnday to pick up an Haitiano who is a reference, to go to church. He was not there but his friend Mackenson was there! We talked to him and he told us that he liked going to church and he wanted to go! We were a little shocked but said of course! HE came to chruch with us and loved it! Then he came to an activity we had as a ward and loved that too! We talked to him and he told us that he loves the church and feels good there! He ended up telling us that he wants to be baptized! What a miracle and a straight answer to our prayers!! Heavenly Father hears us and can answer us directly if we have the faith that we need! Mackenson is a blessing and answer to our prayers! 
So some funny things of this week, one day we were walking in the street and there was a dog beind the gate of the house. I started to mess with it and the dop went wild and I was laughing really hard and then all of a sudden the owner looked at me with the weirdest look. My companion said "Hermana Cribbs there is a man looking at us.. stop being weird!!" I laughed and said sorry ad continued to walk by her side. She looked at me and said "You know what Cribbs, sometimes you embarrass me so bad!!" I looked at her and CRACKED up and said "OH great! That means I am your mom for real!!" AHHAHA it was awesome! Sometimes I embarrass her because I say hello to everyone super happily and she doesnt really like that! HAHAHA I am the best mom ever! It is what we do.. embarrass the kids! I know my cute little mom did... in the mission and my real mom lol! 
Well that is all I got for this week chiquillos!! I hope all is well and we are all happy!! 

Remember, WORK HARD, PRAY HARDER!

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

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

MARCH 1, 2017 Yup, so this week we had changes and I have been called to be a trainer! My daughter (companion but in the mission I am her mom and she is my daughter) is brand new! She has 2 dyas now in Chile and she is from Brasil! I also have to teach her Spanish. I know she will learn fast with the Gift of Tongues and with living here in Chile so I have no worries. She already speaks SO much more than I did when I came to Chile so we will be fine! She is from the south part of Brasil so her accent is very very strong! BUT we live with 2 other Hermanas also from Brasil sooo I have learned to understand what she is saying because I am used to the accent. I am living with 3 Brasilians and the two Elders in my ward are Brasilian too... looks like I am going to be learning some Portuguese!! I am pumped!  So before we had the changes Hermana Knechtel and I were in the house for 3 days because she got so sick! She had strep-throat and then it turned to tonsilitus! She was so sick and we
