yes it's true I am now in CHILE!! My first area is Yumbel. It's so beautiful!!! and the people are so great I love them so much. It's frustrating not being able to communicate with them the way I want to.. They think I'm some dumb gringa who doesn't know spanish which is partly true lol. They make fun of me and think I don't understand what they're saying but guys I DOOO. haha when i learn spanish I can't wait to give them so much sass right back to them lol.
So yeah pray for hermana nielson to be able to pick up on the language bc I'm struggling. They talk SO fast here! Everyone's like "don't worry about the language, it comes with time" yeah not possible I am definitely worrying and am confused 90 percent of the time haha. HOWEVER I always feel the spirit and God's love for me and the people we teach. Love is it's own language amirite. hahah but really it's only been a week so I still have hope.
also there are perros EVERYWHERE and apparently it's common to get bitten here so you could say I'm slightly terrififed. and you have to get 5 rabies shots if you get bitten so I freak out everytime a dog comes near me.. my poor comp lol. speaking of!! she is super nice and patient. The Lord definitely loves me bc she is the best trainer ever! Her name is hermana Jolley and is gringa as well :-)
I love and miss you all SO MUCH!! oh ps FELIZ NAVIDAD wishing you all the best christmas :) the savior is truly the greatest gift any of us have ever recieved. I'm so grateful for all the love and support I get here. MUCHO AMOR
hermana nielson
