10/31/22 I hit 6 months this week!

 THIS WEEK WAS SO FAST 


Ok so heres some random things that happened: 

This random satan worshipping lady invited us to be prostitutes with her... but I didn't understand her. So she's way ahead of us and is carrying this giant stick! And we see her light this pile of trash on fire and immediately decide to cross over to the other side of the road... BUT, she stops and starts coming towards us, with her giant stick!! So we weren't sure what to do, and she starts talking to us. We walked with her a little ways, and she said a loooottt of things, but the weirdest thing happened. (For like 1-2 months now I've been able to understand aaaalmost everything that people say to me.) When she was talking to us, I didn't understand ANYTHING she said. To me, that's a testimony that the gift of tongues is really real. But hna Pérez told me everything she said, but filtered, afterwards. We were both almost certain that there was something living inside her that was not of this world. It was a really freaky experience, but I feel more certain that this is the one true church of God, why else would a creature of the devil say such strong things about our church. Anyways. 

Milagros: 

Our friend Marleny has been progressing a TON!!! She came to church on Sunday and in the lesson they talked about tithing, and she asked us how she could pay it and told us how she didn't want to rob God and all these things... and on the way home she told us if we ever don't have lunch we can call her and she'll feed us!! She also drove us home twice, which was really nice because it's a 50 minute walk!! She's so cool, and we're thinking about putting her on date this week!! 

We had a ward Halloween party here and it was a lot like parties in the states!! But everyone was dancing instead of trunk or treat!! We also helped decorate for the party the night before and they went all out!! It was so cool honestly. 

Today was a pretty normal Halloween even though I'm in Chile!!! Everyone had costumes and candy bags! We played some games and ate a bunch of candy and sweets as a zone today, so we felt like little kids again. But we didn't dress up, so that's a little lame. 

I think that's everything noteworthy!! I love you all so much!

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...
