HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!!!!!!
On Saturday we celebrated our beloved Independence day by
wearing red, white, and blue. Then later, we had to cover up our red, because
people were accusing us of supporting Chile in the COPA AMERICA partido contra
Argentina that was that night. hehehe. Yeah Argentina lost, so that was a let
down.
Got 2 packages from DAD!!!!! But, of course I'm saving them
till the 21st! :) *cough my birthday cough*
Last Monday-Thursday I was in a trio with Hna Garcia and
Hna. Johnson while we waited for cambios to go into effect. Hna Johnson was
preparing to head up to Ciudad del Este and Hna Garcia was waiting for her
second daughter to arrive from America! It was pretty fun, but its kinda hard
to teach lessons with 3 people.

They helped me clean out the pension before Hna. Simmons
arrived which was good, because well...it was really bad...and thats all I will
share about that...
So thursday morning finally came and we all headed over to
the terminal and everyone was either waiting to leave to go to Paraguay or
waiting to reciever a comp from Paraguay. It was so awesome because I got to
say goodbye to some of my favorite people, meet new people, and run into HNA
JACKMAN, who brought me PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!!! it was a very good day
Oh yeah, so I´m NOT in TRAINING anymore!!!!!! Still dont
really know what Im doing, but that okay, because Hna. Simmons is
suppppperrrrrr old on the mission. THANK GOODNESS the rumors were true, HERMANA
SIMMONS IS FABULOUS!!!! Some fun facts about Hna. Simmons: she is one of
6 kids, from Meridian, ID, went to BYU before the mish and was studying English
teaching, she loves to read, her favorite food is ice cream and.....she's all
together just really great, and now I´m a really happy missionary. The only
bad
news is...SHES DYING THIS TRANSFER!!!!! Yep. We were at Church on Sunday and
everyone was meeting Hna, and when E. Villarroel (de Buenos Aires) found our
that she dies this traslado, he just looked at me and micheviously said,
"sister killer". thank you.

Nah, its really okay though because Hna. S really is great!
And she still has soooooo much energy and together we have set some pretty good
goals and dreams that we are going to accomplish during these 6 weeks and I´m
so excited!
The Elders finally brought us their extra calefactor for our
pension so we don't have to sleep with like 8 layers of clothes anymore, which
is really great and then we found ANOTHER calefactor hiding next to the fridge,
oops! hehe. So now we have two :)
Lastly, we have a new Elder in our Zone who just came in
from an area in Paraguay and I found out that before his mission he was a
personal trainer. Entonces...we´re all supposed to come to zone meeting with
questions and goals that we have and he will be making custom diet and exercise
plans for everyone. WHAT?!? yeah so with that and the fact that I have another
dying comp that doesn't want to go home fat, I will be taking real good care of
myself this transfer, hopefully :)
That's all for this week, nothing too scary, gross, or
hilarious to note. As useful I'm so so so grateful for every day that I have
here in the mission. This work is real and I'm so blessed to see the hand of God
change the lives of these people and mine every day!!! Love love love you
all!!! Have a good week!
Te Quiero,
Chau.
