Today
I write you as I begin my last 12 Weeks in the field. I say this not to
be trunky, but because the office is officially doing all of the
paperwork to send me home, and BYU is starting to bug me with
registering again and etc.... I have a lot of mixed emotions about it to
be honest, happy to see everyone at home again. But more of the truth
is that I have really grown to be Chilena. This is my country now. I
also am not sure if I can remember to speak English. I know that my grammar skills have lowered considerably. So I´ll have to relearn how to
do some things. Haha.
But this week was AMAZING. We have a couple investigators who are younger and they were going to be baptized on the 17th of September, but they changed the date and they were baptized on Saturday!!!!!!!!!
M. and her little brother A., it was one of the most
spiritual experiences that I have participated in in my mission. It was
amazing. Their parents bore their testimonies and the spirit hit us
like bricks. I was crying and the ward mission leader was crying, and we
were all super emotional and filled with love. It was beyond words, I
truly felt my Savior in the room with us that afternoon.
The
Elder that baptized A. (9 years old) is 6´4, and A. couldn't
stop looking at him. He´s like a super hero, when he came to their house
to to the interview A. left and brought a friend to show him how
tall Elder Court is. It was hilarious to see him looking up at him. And
during the baptismal service he bore his little 9 year old testimony to
tell us all that he felt just like a Super Sayian (from Dragon Ball Z,
don't know how to spell it in English) with a new level of power. And
that he was grateful for the tall Elder and the small one too. It was
hilarious.
All the rest bore wonderful, short,
powerful testimonies of the gospel as well. And how they know that the
church is true. I know that their mother ( a non member) is not too far
behind them now. She told us so. :)
We also
were able to spend the weekend with the President´s daughter Gina. She
is 18 years old, and she is super cool. We had some great lessons
together and really bonded. It was nice to have here there. I really
feel like all of these young women remind me of my little sisters, and
it is nice to have someone like that with me after so long. (Hear that
Cassidy and Emma? I LOVE YOU!)
It was just an
amazing week. I am without words. I love the mission. I love my
companion. I love my calling as an Hermana Leader, I love my eternal
friends, I love everything. Everything is amazing. I hope you all know
that.
I love you all! Have a fabulous week!!!!!!!!!!

PS.
We are having 2 new sisters move into our apartment and I am their Hna
Leader, they are going to be opening a new sector in the other side of
our sector, which before was my sector. So if they need help I am going
to be living with them. That is going to help them not get lost I think!
Haha.
