Hola!
Happy valentines day
before i forget. actually, i dont know if they celebrate it here in chile
because i totally forgot about it until i read my emails today. Anyways,
this week was good. Pabla continues to be super happy =D. It makes
me happy. We visit her lots because we are teaching the lessons to her again
and all, and she always does one of the prayers. She always prays that
her family will understand her decision to be baptized-because she feels happy!
and she wants them to understand.
we had a total miracle
this week. my companion and i have been trying to get her a disc of the
book of mormon on cd so that she can listen. we realized that it would probably
need to have multiple discs, as the book of mormon is 642 pages. we tried
doing it, and i have no idea how, but somehow, all the book of mormon ended up
on that disc for pabla! seriously a miracle. it didnt even copy past 2
nefi. but we checked and every book is on there, every chapter! so she has been
listening and absolutely LOVES it!
we also watched the
nefi and the brass plates cartoon with her. i know that they liked it,
but i was trying not to crack up at certain parts of the movie. for
example,"you cheated nefi..." or labans laugh, or "i wish we all
just would have stayed home!" or matts voice saying,"im gonna pull
your hair nefi!" lol. inside jokes there...loveeeee the living
animated scriptures.
ok yesterday in
church. ANOTHER GREAT DAY! we had 55 people in church. i twas literally a
miracle. we taught a less active sister about the sacrament last week and
this week she came! plus, we have been visiting a mom and her
daughter who were inactive for a time, but now are trying to return and are
participating, reading the book of mormon, stopping smoking, and everything!
we are good friends. (they like bob marley, mountains, sarcastic).
its so cool to see how much our branch is growing. plus! we have
order in our branch! relief society president, counselor, and the relief
society was full yesterday i could hardly believe it!!! such miracles here in
salamanca!!
we made banana bread
this week. i forgot how good that stuff is. yummmm. we gave some to members and
they thought it was delish as well.
we pulled a prank on
the elders this week. we found an bottle that still had the tag
"orange juice" and we found some orange juice int he fridge. i
pulled out an old hanks family reunion tradition and we mixed in some other
stuff...hotsauce, salt, vinegar, the usual. then we gave it to the elders.
hahahaha. half
our later, they call us asking what in the heck happened. we were laughing so
hard! what made it funnier was that our branch president tried some as well. he
said,"intervfiews with me tomorrow hermanas." that shut us up. but
the next day he told us he thought the joke was great and we all laughed it
off! hahahahaha. shennanigans.
that pretty much sums
up this week.
it was so weird! its
getting cold at night. i used this weird article of clothing called a
sweatshirt this week. and it was super foggy and cold this morning.
could hardly believe it.
we still are in the
same apartment....buttttt working on that! all is well.
love you!
