ALSO! Yesterday was just about the first day! But we still ended up making the most of it! We were late getting out of the house for the conference with our president, got sick from lunch, i left our little flip phone in a taxi, all of our appointments fell through and it was raining pretty hard. BUT at the end of the day we went to the house of one of our investigators who is super hippie! She loves oils, outdoors, chakras, affirmations (made me think of Linda), and all that stuff! She has been investigating the church for awhile now and has been taught by a ton of missionaries. So we got to her house and planned to watch the restoration and plant the baptisimal date on her to see if we needed to drop her or not. BUT right when it began to show the first vision of Jose Smith, her power went out! My comp and i knew in that moment that it was Satan, and he didnt want our girl to get baptized. WE WERE SO DETERMINED! We have to be in our house by 10:30 and it was 10:15 at this point. But we couldnt let Satan win that one. We ended up putting the baptismal date down with her, walked out of the house feeling so lit and then looked at our watches and it was 11:15. AH We raced home and we came home to the other hermanas in our house worried calling all of our leaders, bishop, and then a lady from relief society knocked on our door to see if we were okay hahaha it was hilarious to me and my comp because what more could have gone wrong this day for us, right? So we were kinda laughing and we had to do some major repenting and almost lost our pday andf the friendhsip of the other girls in our house. But hey! We got the FECHAAA!
Today, for pday, we watched minions, and had a pday de MEXICO! My comp mad taquitos and i was literally in heaven.
ALSO, a missionary cut my hair one night and i think it looks really cute but not one person has said anything good about it! YIKES. Thanks to 2swegs i know that my opinion in the only one that matters. And these chileans dont know what style is. This lady told me basically in english, "Well its not a hackjob" well thanks lady, very reasurring, your weave isnt a hackjob either.
At the beginning of this week, i was feeling super discouraged and just really tired but i had no idea why! It was super upsetting to me and i just wanted the old me back in action. But the sister training leaders came over for breakfast one day and we had a big talk that was super inspired. Then we had a conference with president that got me feeling better too! I think i may not have been the only one feeling that way, it may have been the weather but im not too sure.
This weeek i was reallable to remember my purpose here as a missionary. We are here to baptize and give people the blessing of eternal life! Im not just here for friendships or to experience the culture of chile. Yes, i am here for my own testimony and growth too but through serving others and focusing on my purpse i will grow without even realizing it! I just want to serve my Heavenly Father in the best way that i can, and not waste this precious time that He has given to me.
I love you all so much, i hope and pray that you guys can know your purpose in this life and can find out the best way you can serve your heavenly father in this earth! Especially in our callings from church, those callings are insoired from God to help the other members in our ward! I challenge you all to call or go meet with someone that didnt come to church on sunday or pray to know if someone in the ward needs some lovin!
Love you all so so much, i hope you have an amazing week! Ill share my google drive with you guys so you can scope my photos and videos from the week!
