Wow, this week was just too good to be true. en serio. but first off, thanks for all the emails and updates and photos. I´m not gonna recognize anyone when i get back. Lydia and Brynlee are so big now i can´t believe it.
So basically i feel like a terrible person. Cuz this week was so amazing....and it was the week that my companion was sick.... So i got to leave everyday with members and work while she stayed at a member´s house. But here´s why i´m just exploding with happiness....
so Tuesday we went to the leader´s counsel for the other zone, aka, my zone from portal del mar. so i got to talk to the elders who are now in my sector and get an update on everyone. then the elders told me that i should call Camila and Vivianna and have them accompany us for appointments. i was so surprised cuz i thought it was against the rules, but talking to my ZLs they told me it was ok. So i got to call Camila and VIvianna! and even better, when my companion got sick and i needed a new companion for 4 days i got to go with Camila one day and viviana the next. And to have the whole day to talk to them while proselyting just made my life!
I know i´ve been sent back to puerto montt for a reason and its to help them. To help Viviana get out on her mission and to help Camila who´s been struggling a lot. Camila has problems with depression and the past 4 months have been terrible for her. and the fact that now there aren´t hermanas in her sector she felt so alone and starting losing her testimony and stopped going to church and a bunch of other stuff. But she always said that when she left to work with the missionaries she could always feel the spirit and couldn´t deny the truthfulness of the gospel. but 4 months without that extra spiritual help she fell. so now i´m back and she´s gonna accompany us at least once a week. :)
So everyday i got to have the whole morning to myself just to study, from 7 in the morning to 3pm while my companion stayed in bed. I thoroughly enjoyed my personal study time. There´s so much to this gospel and so little time to learn and understand it all. Then to be able to work with someone different everyday was a great experience too. It was super difficult to be in charge of the sector considering i´ve only been here 3 week and i still don´t know people/directions. but that´s one way to learn the sector is to be on your own for a week.
Ok, i honestly feel bad that i enjoyed this week so much. But as you´ve probably figured out my companion is .....different from all my other ones. I love her to death and i´m learning a lot from her. (i´m learning a lot of patience that´s for sure) but yeah, after what happened last week with her i feel that this was mercy from God that i could work peacefully this week while she recuperated from her flu. it was a bit painful to return back to normal yesterday...
I feel like its all a dream. I´ve been disappointed too many times i´ve prohibited myself from getting too excited. But our investigator Daniela´s come to church 2 times in a row and her baptismal date still is for Aug 1st.... i can´t believe it. if everything goes well her interview will be the end of this week or beginning of next week!!! :D she still feels unprepared but says she´ll be baptized that day if she feels more prepared by then.
So that´s my life. Living & loving it :) and this week we´re off to Chiloe for 3 days to go on exchanges with the sisters there!!!! (4 hrs of traveling, i´m way too excited)
well i love you all!!!
