07/19/22 Chao to one Perez, hello to another!!

ok I don't have a lot of time 

-Tuesday we went to antofa and met the president and it was a good time 

-Wednesday we didn't get completos, but we did have empanadas 

-Thursday we had had lessons and they went well!! 

-Friday we had lessons and our gospel principles class and our less active friend came (long story short he's been inactive for like 4 years) 

-Saturday we had lunch with the stake president and our less active friend came to that as well, and then we had to say goodbye to hna mcconaghie because she's going home, which was super sad but were happy for her of course! And then we were in a trio for the rest of the weekend. We also got transfer calls and contrary to what I thought before, we get to keep elders in our ward!! But our Elder Perez is going to Alto Hospicio so we had to say goodbye to him today (monday)

-Sunday we went to church in the ward of our third hermana in our trio because she had a lot going on... and while we weren't there one of our friends became best friends with one of our recent converts which was absolutely a miracle!!! We're having lunch with both of them this Thursday!!! 

-Today we got a new friend named hermana perez (as the comp of hermana smith) and she's super sweet!!! we also did the usual p day things so not anything special... 

Honestly this is a good week to not have a lot of time to write because I don't super feel like writing and not a lot happened worth writing about. 

My favorite thing from personal study was in 1 Nephi 15, where Nephi is talking to his brothers. I was thinking that it's so easy to see how the Lord has blessed their lives and how when they're not doing what's right, things go badly... but then I was thinking that maybe that's because I have the perspective of the whole story and the whole of God's plans and patterns for them in my head... so I was thinking, how often do we get so in our head about a particular moment and think about all the hard things of right now, while forgetting all the spiritual and wonderful moments we've had in the past? The worst thing is when we're complaining against the Lord without even asking for His help. So let's work on trusting the Lord and remembering the blessings of the past and asking for help when we're struggling. 

That's all for now!!

Holaaaa!  I'm gonna do this a little differently... here's this week's highlights!  -Tuesday we went to Antofa for a conference and to say  goodbye  to  presidente   y   hermana   Larsen !! I got to see the Hermanas who picked me up at the airports and met a bunch of people who maybe I'll talk to again later and maybe not!! We had pizza which is a super important detail, and on the bus we watched Cars and another movie I can't remember what it's called. Overall a good time.  -Wednesday we got completos :)  -Thursday we had a zone FHE and we were in charge! We also had a super long phone call with our friend Billy and got him set up to be baptized on the 16th... and we think this time is different and is not gonna fall through    -Friday we had a gospel principles class... but no one showed up, including the teacher... so then when one person did show up, us and the Elders taught her the 4th lesson in preparation for her baptism...

Katelyn Griffin Sat, Apr 30, 11:03 PM (6 days ago) Hola a todos!!!  It has been a crazy week! I've met a ton of new people, felt the spirit a TON, and I now know, like, twice as much Spanish as I did a week ago (so still not that much ;) Here are some of the highlights:  Monday I got to meet my compañera, and she is  amazing!  She's from Manti, Utah, and I don't know how else to explain this, but I feel like I vibe with her. She's bubbly and sweet, and she seems to really love the gospel and wants to work hard. I can't wait to get to know her more!!  A couple days in, I got to know my district a bit more, and I am so impressed by these people! I was anxious about going "late," since most missionaries, it seems like, go out as soon as they turn 18 or 19, but most of my group is older than the minimum age, which is a comfort to me :)  One of the days, I wrote this in my journal: "One thing I've noticed about being a missionary so far is how much mor...

  Hello hi how's it goin its so laaaaate, so imma make this maybe a little more short and sweet!!  We had zone conference early in the weekend which was pretty good... except that it went long so we didn't get to do interviews and we had to RUN to the bus... good times   (side note I'm currently writing this from a bus on the way to copiapo AGAIN because we have exchanges tomorrow with the hermanas here.) Also, got told to do a musical number again... on the bus ride on the way to copiapo... so had to figure that one out in like less than 12 hours haheha. A little organization would be cool but like it's fine. We sang I need thee every hour (me and my compi) and it turned out pretty good (there was a weird thing with the piano but no importa!!)  A little later in the week we had our ups and downs, like one day we found this little family who are so golden!! (And apparently they had someone over visiting until 4am, but the husband couldn't sleep because he was so...
