Sorry that i was not able to call you. I was shocked when i heard the new news by the church
honestly and it will be interesting to see how this all plays out!!! We have Nokia phones that
can't call out of Chile and we write in little computer shops without cameras.... I think this
news might benefit elders in the states and other places more haha. But i will be happy to be
able to talk to you guys:)
This week we did something fun. There are 2 people we are teaching, one named Jose Luis and
the other named Maikel and they are actually radio show hosts in Calbuco so we actually got to
be interviewed and got to talk about our purpose here as missionaries and why we are out here!
It was super cool and now we are going to go every week to read a scripture on the radio!!!!
I am teaching an english class in Calbuco every week and the passed weeks these 2 super cool
18 year olds that taught themselves english have come and we just tell stories in spanish for the
whole class and i correct their grammar but it makes me miss telling stories in english.
I downloaded a lot of conference talks and listened to A LOT this week and i feel dumb because
it is literal scripture of this current moment that i feel i haven't taken a lot of advantage of. The
prophets are so filled with the spirit and its so cool to me that they can always be in tuned with
the gospel like they are.
The mission is awesome and sometimes i will be sitting there teaching a lesson half in spanish,
half in Creole and i think to myself.... How do i know these words???? But the gift of tongues is
real and i am so grateful and happy to have this opportunity!!! This week we got invited to a
Evangelical church of Haitians so hopefully we will be able to go to that and i will let you all
know how it goes!!!
How are you all doing with the come follow me every Sunday? Read the scriptures and pray
and know that i am praying for y'all!!!!!
