Gringos

Hola!

Well, this week flew by.  We had conference with Presidente and the APs.  It was super weird.  I went from being in the biggest zone to the smallest.  So in the whole conference there were only 12 other missionaries.  But it made it more special/personal.  So the problem with that is that when president asked for a special musical number no one else plays the piano or sings.  So last minute i ended up singing a solo for the zone conference and playing the piano.  but it went ok (i was still recuperating from my bad cold so it was....interesting hahah)    

So random story, the day before conference our investigator randomly gave me a super cheap toy bike, so the next day when i saw Elder Fotheringham i gave him the bike with a note that told him i found his bike and to keep it safe from the police and from dad ;) he got a kick out of that.

This week i discovered the true opinion of Latinos about Gringos....and its not too good. hahah.  Basically as Americans (but they told me the missionaries don´t count haha)  we rob other cultures and have no sense of style and our language is corrupt and messed up.  haha,  it was quite an interesting conversation with this recent convert.  They ended up basically giving me lessons on how to be latina so that i´ll be more attractive when i get home.... i really don´t understand how the conversation changed from the lesson we were giving to that... that is the talent of Chileans.

The miracle of the week:  So Jorge as a baptismal date for the 24th of Oct, but he has to marry Veronica first. They want to be married but the government was on Paro (I don´t remember the word in english but basically, it was closed cuz the people are trying to change their rights or something,) so for the last week its been closed adn time is ticking down for the baptismal date, so for this fast sunday we all fasted for this. that same night the elders called us telling us the the Paro ended and that its now open!!!  God listens to our Fasts and Prayers! 

I Hope all is well!  thanks for all the emails! i love you all!
