Living the missionary dream...

Hey everyone here is what happened this week..

Tuesday. We visited Hermana Carmen and her neighbor Eliana. They were so sweet and gave us Arroz con leche. It was pretty good. We were able to share a little with them.

Wednesday. Well we walked a lot. But we did manage to visit Hermana Veronica for a little bit. Also a woman contacted us and asked us to pray for her friend who has cancer. It is always neat when people contact us because it shows me that there are people looking for God.

Thursday. Another day of walking and contacting. Living the missionary dream.

Friday. Leadership meeting with President. He talked about the importance of being a good leader and disciple of Christ. Also he talked about the importance of looking for the good in all things. Then we had a heart to heart with Patricia and Aldo. They are so great. I love Hermana Patricia so much. She reminds me a lot of Aunt Jo.

Saturday. Another meeting. Then a ward activity. A thing that they do in the south of Chile called a Curanton. Which is like a seafood soup with chicken and pork too. It was a real fun activity. Then we visited Hermana Jimenez and she told us her conversion story. And the USA lost to Colombia...

Sunday. HERMANA B SILVA TURNED 20 YEARS OLD. It was her birthday. I made her a birthday cake and decorated our room. We went to church and to our surprise 2 inactive members came to church out of the blue. It was awesome. We had lunch with Hermana Lupe and Rayen. They made Arabian food. SO GOOD. Then we had a pretty great lesson with Gonzalo and Fabiola our new investigators. After a once with the Relief Society. We sang happy birthday to Hermana B Silva. We had to return to the pension early because of the Copa America. So we had a little party at home. And hey CHILE WON AGAIN. I have some major Chile pride going on!

Monday. Zone meeting. I taught a little bit on looking for the good and we played poisonous dart frog. We had a good time. Then planning in the night. We also met a less active named Julio and he shared a lot of stories with us. He has been to 19 countries! Pretty neat.

Today. We went to Puente Alto because I ordered some pretty cool scripture cases. Then we ate at McDonalds because that is what my comp wanted for her birthday lunch.

I love you all. Remember to look for the good in life.
