Okay so I'm sorry I haven't sent a letter out to everyone in a couple weeks but last week I was super sick with some chilean flu which is 10 times worse than the ones in america lol. I actually don't know what it was but I think it was the flu. I'm all good now though! Anyway I have LOTS to tell you guys but I'll try to keep it short bc I know you guys aren't tryna read a novel rn haha.
First of all.. I had my first heart break on the mission last week. when I say heart break I mean literally my heart shattered into a million pieces. One of my inverstigators was getting ready for baptism and he is the cutest abuelito. One of his legs is longer than the other so he wears this boot to help him walk and he is so adorable. His faith was so strong then suddenly out of nowhere he tells us he is catholic and no longer wants lessons from us. I didn't now how sad it would make me.. I may or may not have shed a lot of tears after but it's okay maybe he will come around! You never know the seeds you plant right.. At least that's what every missionary is telling me here haha.
BUT we found another investigator who is the sweetest lady and honestly feels like a mom to me. I know that sounds weird .. But she definitely has the light of Christ and is super receptive. Pray for her please everyone!!! :) her name is maria. And please pray for our other investigator Juan whom I love dearly.
So the most embarrassing and funny thing happened and I feel obligated to tell you the story. So I'm at a members house and he has the cutest special needs brother who is around 16 years old.. he brings the happiest spirit and I love him. Anyway so I go to the bathroom (don't worry I didn't sit down to go or anything yet haha) and miguel (his special needs brother) comes in and literally rips his pants off and starts doing his business in front of me!! HAHA I was like "hola miguel" hahah and the worst part is that I was struggling so badly to open the door.. I so yeah his brother and my comp thought my face was hilarious when I walked out haha I can only imagine what looked like bc I was freaking out lol.
Oh and I had dinner with coolest members last night who SPEAK ENGLISH!! The guy served a mission in idaho and his wife is an english teacher and lived in the states for 2 years. It was so cool to communicate completely with the members and fully express myself haha. Not gonna lie I literally feel like I have a disability when I try to speak spanish sometimes bc I can't fully express myself. But I'm learning more and more everyday so I know I'll get there eventually.
Anyway sorry this ended up being a novel haha. And I'm sorry if I don't write back right away I'm still learning how to manage my time into an hour haha. I love you all SO much and am praying for you all. Always remember how much God loves you. :)) wow I really am turning into such a missionary haha.I hope you all have an amazing week!! I promise I'll send lots of pictures next week and really if I haven't written you yet I will asap and am thinking of you!!
con mucho amor
