Called to Serve in the Chile Santiago South Mission: November 2017

BUENOS DIAS!! Holy cow, this week felt like a month but the best way to descibe it is like EFY on steroids. Im in a trio with two amazing companions. Hermana Bever is super sporty, motivated, speaks spanish pretty well, and keeps me in check with the flirting. Hermana Murdock is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet. She is a peacemaker, and loves boy talk. The days are long and hard but we laugh all day and have a ton of fun. My district is the best. Literally everyone in our district fits a character from the office and I love it so much. Elder Cummins is an exact replica of Dwight Schrute and he makes me laugh everyday. Whenever I feel down I just ask to partner up with him in class and he just makes my day. Elder Wilky and I are always rapping Kendrick Lamar and Elder Gray does break dancing. Its seriosuly a party here. One of our elders chose to go home to work on some stuff and it was super sad cause it feels like a member of our family died. But I'm so insanely proud of him. That shows a ton of humility and I made him promise me he'd be right back. He gave me his sick swedish satchel because my Madewell tote isn't exactly holding up. But my outifts are on point and it doesnt go unnoticed.The CCM is absolutely beautiful. Its all outside with parrots flying around everywhere so we study outside and im getting more sun here than I ever did in Carlsbad. The mexican food in el comedor is super dank, especially the horchata, but when they make american food something just doesn't taste right. Exact Obedience is everything here and I'm still working on that but I can see the blessings everyday. We had an elder climb the ccm wall the other night and ask a local latina to buy him street tacos. I thought it was pretty funny but he got majorly barred. No one flirts here but apperently when an elder asks for your email its like asking for your hand in marriage. Sooo apparently I send the wrong message... All of our teachers, cooks, and workers here speak only spanish, it can get frustrating but its so hard to be mad when they try to speak english it's just so cute. There is another Hermana Pulsipher here from Temecula! Shes super cool and I told her she always cramped my style when I went to the temple cause the workers only wanted to know if I was related to her. But I seriously love it here. I can't believe I wasn't going to serve because I feel like my personality fits this job to a T. I love you all so much and I can feel your prayers everyday. Especially when I'm able to get up at 6:30AM with no problem at all. If youre thinking about going on a mission, be ready to give it your all. I fall short on a lot of things here but I'm ready to make the change and have the faith to do it. This would be impossible without Christ on my side but through Him all things are possible. Please send me dear elders! It would literally make my day! My district is 14E

Give it your all this week!!
