We had changes and it was a super big bummer summer to leave Portezuelo but I am absolutely loving Parque Subercaseaux!! AHHHH!!! It is pretty much a replica of Carlsbad 4th ward. The bishopric is hilariously identical to the bishopric in C4, the moms are super natural and all the young women are super cute and fun ;) Im not just trying to win brownie points back home. Its totally true! But im super happy here in this ward, I instantly felt right at homeand super welcomed when i got here. Keep killing it out there C4.
I am training a little lola from Argentina! Her accent is a little hard to understand. She always sounds like she is shushhhhhing me if you get what i mean but she also speaks perfect english so i pretty much hit the jack pot. It is like having a human dictionary with me everywhere i go. But seriously, she is the absolute best. I have never cliqued so well with any of my companions like i have with her. We make contacting and getting rejected fun and we are always looking for a haitian to start a rap battle with. But we have to stop doing that because one haitian (who looked exactly like lil wayne) took it the wrong way and he asked me if we could go salsa dancing sometime.
We are in a white wash which means we are pretty much starting from ground zero! We have been contacting everyday to find new people and we finally had our first miracle! We were originally looking for an other person in this house but a grouchy old lady came out trying to scare us off. We began to joke with her and play games with the cards we were passing out and she totally let her guard down with us. Apparently she had experience with the missionaries and she almost got baptized but then the missionaries just dropped off the face of the earth basically. She was a fiesty one so we had to trick her into letting us come back and visit her. We did a couple bets and my comp and i ended up winning two visits back with her! We are super stoked to see what happens with her!
I hope you all are doing super well and i hope you all know how much God truly loves and cares about you! He is so mindful of you and knows what is best for ya. Seek out his guidance and trust in the plan that He has for you!
