Primero, I want to apologize for the
ridiculously short email last week. Haha, we didn't have a ton of time to
write, so it was definitely a sub-par letter. The good news is I have
much more time this week to write :) woohoo!
The other day we were walking down the street
and we started talking to un hombre, and he started talking to us in
English. We kept talking in español because we thought he was just
messing with us, but he kept talking in English and said he was from
Wales. Crazy! Anyway, my brain tried switching to English to talk
to him, but I was caught so off guard that I was speaking like someone who was
just beginning to learn English. I was seriously struggling so
hard. Hahaha who would've thought it could be so difficult to speak your
native language :D
Some sad news from the past week is that the
other Hermanas in our casa got transferred :'( What makes it even sadder
is that they would have stayed more time, but one of the Hermanas received an
eight page love letter from a guy. It was bad-news-bears. Super
triste, but as I like to say, "Shh shh shh, no more tears."
Hno Jorge is super prepared for baptism, and
he's super excited too. Only a few more weeks! We have another
investigator named Evelyn who started listening to the missionaries because she
has a sister who is a member in Utah. At the beginning she didn't believe
in God, and she didn't really want to do anything to find out whether or not
this was all true, but over the past few weeks she's been reading the Book of
Mormon (this book changes lives people) and this past week she started to
realized that she's received her answer! It's crazy cool because the
gospel changes lives for the better. Every time we go to visit her she
seems so much happier than when we first started teaching her. Her
problems are still the same, but the gospel has given her a better perspective
on life.
After a few days alone in the casa, the new
Hermanas are finally here! Hna. Westover and Hna. Zeballos are
awesome! Haha super funny and super nice :)
We had a ton of fun this week. I got the
urge to cook this week, so I made no-bake cookies, french toast for breakfast
yesterday, and Hna. Bretón and I made some brownies for the new Hermanas.
Yesterday was the Stake Conference in Punta
Arenas, and one thing that really stuck out to me was ACTION! We can know
something, be able to explain it, and have a testimony of it, but it we don't
act on what we know it isn't going to do us any good. Action is the key
to progression!
Mucho love from this side of the world! Espero que todos estén
bien! Advice for the week:
Laugh everyday because it makes life better :D
Stay sweet,
Hermana Coombs
PS. madre could you please correct my English
because I am 1000% seguro that there are mistakes
