EEEEKKKKK!!!! so I am officially a chilean missionary with so many
blessings!!!
I love it here. everything is really green and the mountains are really
close, I would share pictures but i forgot/ran out of time to take some. next
week...sorry!
where to start?
my first comp is Hermana Gallardo of Mexico and she is PHENOMINAL the best
I could ask for. this is her last transfer before she goes home :( but boy am I
lucky. she wants to work hard and be obedient and actually walks faster than me!!
She has such a Christlike love for the people and they can just feel her love
too. she is also so patient with me always answering my questions about who is
who and where we are going ( i think she takes a different way to get places
every time and if she left me I really don't think i would be able to find my way
home :) but I absolutely adore her and she helps me to be a better
missionary!
the other WAYAWESOME blessing is.....
I have been given the gift of tongues, i have heard all kinds of stories
about how even spanish speakers cant understand chileans, how they are in the
top 3 fastest speakers and it takes people 3 months to get it, how they dont
pronounce their {s{ so like more than one brother should be hermanos...well its
actually hermano for many poeple here...and mas o menos (so-so) is ma o
meno...anyway...I can understand a most of what the people say. in my first
week....and before the mission i had native spanish speakers repeat themselves 4
times with lots of slowness (cant speak english) ...but seriously! i have been
blessed with the gift of tongues...dont get me wrong I have been working hard
for this gift since I took spanish in high school, and speaking spanish whenever
I can at the CCM and here, but God truly has blessed me.
one think I love remembering is that everyone is a child of God. EVERYONE.
and God wants his children to be happy, that is why he blessed us with families
and the gospel (my favorite way to start teaching people) but my point is, I try
to look at people in the street and driving the taxi (we take it like once in a
while) and give them the opportunity to hear the word of God :) I lof being a
missionary!
now...its committment time...who is a child of god near you that needs more
happiness in their life? refer them to missionaries :) because everyone can use
more happiness and is a child of god :) I love you all. and I feel your prayers.
thank you and stay strong!
