¨Choose to act for yourself. Be motivated from
within... work and become self reliant, set goals, overcome mistakes, gain
experiences, and finish what you begin. ¨- Elder Hales talking about Puerto
Cisnes :)
Skype was cool. You all look old. Ha-ha. But
really what a miracle- a week without Internet. We ended up doing our district
mtg over a 2-hour phone call. Booo. So glad we didn´t just have to talk on a
phone!
The truth, it was weird for me to talk
with you guys. My companion told me I didn't even use all the time, only 30
minutes. And that right after I was stressing out and went like a maniac
knocking down doors teaching lessons. I like seeing you guys but am
sooooo not ready to see you guys.
Ok don´t have much time today- so here’s to
the spiritual, the branch, the movie theater and the funny.
The spiritual. We have been trying to work on
my visa for months now. It’s pretty crazy. But I got the word that the government
was off strike and I needed to go in as soon as possible. So we were planning on bussing down to Coyhaique on Thursday but
felt really strongly we should go Tuesday.
So we canceled the one
appointment we had (which is why we weren’t going to on Tuesday) and
headed out on the 5:30 am bus.
We got there and did everything on my visa and
had time to stop by to visit the Hermana’s. We sat down with them to see how
they were doing and they just burst into tears. Explaining a couple of rough
things that had happened. And how we were literally God sent. That they didn´t
know who they could talk to because its not really a talk over phone thing and
then hours later we knocked on the door.
It was amazing. We were able to talk
for a bit and me and Hna R were in so much unity- the words and scriptures
just flowing. It was really, really crazy. The spirit was so strong. We ended our little
time with them; all of us kneeling in prayer and it were one of those moments. Love.
The branch. Is good. This week we kicked it. Let
me tell you- we have been trying to get the visiting teaching thing going here
and to no luck. So we went big. Made a plan, decked out the relief society room
and worked with the president. We turned everything upside down and it was so
good. More to come.
The movie theater- we turned the sacrament
room into a theater and it was awesome. We watched "the book of life" with is way
cute. But it was really successful because the closest
movie theater is in Coyhaique where we did the Easter activity- but it is only
open a couple times a year for old ancient movies. And then the closest real
movie theater is an airplane ride away. We are going to keep doing the activity
and hopefully it will be more successful each time.
The funny. Hermana N. love her so much. She
called us yesterday asking if we could go with her to visit her father’s grave.
Which was darling. But then the funny part- then they took us on a whole tour
of the countryside of Puerto Cisnes. We´re all "ummm we need to work." And they
are all "noooooooo." Ha-ha. Oh boy. We have a family home evening tonight and we
are going to talk more about temple prep. - Looooove.
Well family. I’ve got to run. I love you.
