The One with General Conference! 4/5

 APRIL 5, 2017
Hello Family and Friends,
I hope that everyone is well and that we were able to watch or listen to the beautiful General Conference this past end of the week! 
I LOVED IT!! I obviously watched it in Spanish so I am waiting for the Liahona to have it in English too! But it was so powerful and I got so much out of it! One of the things that first comes to my head when I think of General Conference is The Holy Ghost. There were so many talks on the Spirit and the importance of listening to it. When I was a little girl, by that I mean all the way up until the day I left for the mission, my parents would always say "LISTEN; LISTEN THE FIRST TIME!" This is exactly the same with the Holy Ghost. Most of the talks were all about us needing to listen the first time to the promptings of the Spirit. Sometimes we ask and ask for help or answers but we forget to listen! It is like calling someone, asking a question, and before the can answer, hang up the phone! Doesnt work lol! THe Spirit talks to us, softly and quietly, but He speaks to us and all we have to do is listen! 
My Companion and I had a great experience with this this week! We are still looking for new people to teach, as always as a missionary, and we went about it in a different way this time. We looked up names that are in the area book from missionaries in the past. We prayed about it and listen to the spirit to tell us which names we could visit. We came up with 2 names that we felt inspired to go visit. We listened to the spirit. We visited the first house and the woman came outside and talked to us. She told us the Hermanas passed years ago but she couldn't talk to them because she worked all day, but now she is free in the evenings and is now listening to us! We really saw form experience that if we listen to the Spirit and just does what He says, we will be blessed! We listening to what the Spirit told us and we found this woman! THe other name we also visited and ended up having 2 people interested in listening to our message! Miracles happen, when we simply Listen! 
Today we went to the Temple and had the most beautiful experience, like always! I am loving it here in Chile and the mission! 
Be Happy, Be Believing, Be Strong, and Be Humble! 
WORK HARD; PRAY HARDER!! 

LOVE YOU ALL!!

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

THE ONE WHERE I AM TRAINING!! 3/01

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
