Hola mi familia!!
How are you all doing? I´ve been thinking about everyone a lot this week. It sounds like everything is going well! We got the devastating news about Chile this Saturday. I guess some of the elders felt the quake.. I didnt. I had no idea anything even happened. We have some chilean missionaries here and it was a pretty weary couple of hours when they were trying to find out whether or not their families were okay or not. it turns out no one lost anybody which shows how much the Lord is aware of his missionaries. i guess that one of the mission presidents in chile had an impression that something like this was going to happen and he was able to prepare the missionaries in the area. im sure there is probably something about it in the news. crazy that so many natural disasters have been occurring so frequently!
well this week has been rather interesting. I was somehow hit by a train of bad luck. on saturday during prosletismo i got really sick and we had to picked up about two hours in. it was not fun! there has been a bug or something going around all the north american sisters were sick. i was feeling rather bad that we couldnt be out proselyting when hermana george, the ccm presidents wife, had all the north american sisters come into their apartment and watch a movie. she wanted to make sure that we didnt feel guilty. she is such an amazingly sweet lady! we watched a movie called "i am david", it was really good and i reccomend that everyone should see it. its about the holocaust, she said she found it at deseret book. anyways so i was sick for 3 days out of this week but still went to class and everything and then i somehow had half of my big toenail fall off! dont ask me how, it just fell off! its pretty gross looking and just adds to how great my legs and toes look haha! oh and to cap it all off, i took a nap one day during lunch and after i woke up and used the bathroom i somehow ran head on into a door... i know i know pretty amazing huh? so i now have somewhat of a large goose egg on my eyebrow! i am now wearing my good luck necklace everyday and i havent run into a problem or a door since!
my companion and the group we have been here with the longest is leaving in 5 days now.. its really sad! and now that means that we will be the 6 weekers and like the seniors in high school. pretty hard to imagine i only have 3 more weeks here. (im pretty happy we only have three weeeks left cuz im going crazy). i am still trying to survive being with elders all day everyday! its hard somedays i want to kick them really bad.. i can do it though! theyre not all that bad. ive actually grown really fond of them but i can only take so much of them everyday. our teachers are all from here and now all our classes are being taught in spanish.. i never realized how much i love english! haha but the lord truly increases our understanding when we try our hardest. i love you all so much! please keep writing! dont forget.. ok? here is a little bit of my testimony in spanish.. haha errors and all.
yo se que la iglesia de jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias es la iglesia verdadera! y que jose smith fue un profeta y vio jesucristo y dios. mediante jose smith el evangelio de jesucristo fue restaurado. dios nos ama mucha y quiere nosotros a regresar con el. yo se podemos traer almas a traves sus ejemplos. le amo el evangelio de jesucristo y yo testifico que podemos hacer todas las cosas con Dios ayuda!

le amo mucho!
