BUENOS DIAS FAMILIA
One week left here??? SERIOUSLY?? Can't believe
it. This week was different, the other districts are gone and we're the
oldest and new teachers and just what the heck! I miss the old guys, but
this BUT this group of latinos has people going to VINA!! yeah!!! and
Hermana Burwasser who i served in the relief society presidency with is
here now!! she's so great.
ANYWAYS. some fun sports stories coming your way. 1)
hna doll and presidente doll organized an hospedaje-wide baseball game
for exercise on saturday! that's all the missionaries that live here on
ccm campus. it was SO fun! even though i suck at baseball haha it was
great to have everyone together. my companions and i also started up
kickball in the mornings! THE BEST. pinguinos for life
My new teachers are amazing! All hermanas, arcos,
munoz, y alfaro and they all only speak spanish! i translate all the
time for my district but i love it, my spanish is getting really good!
Hna alfaro is seriously my favorite teacher here! she is so funny and
super nice, but also can bring the spirit crazy fast. and she's sassy
which is just perfect. i just want to be her/be her best friend. But all
of my new teachers are amazing, it's just a ccm thing i guess!
Funny and cool story, we went street contacting (yes
with real people outside the CCM) and first we talked to this guy and
he obviously wanted none of what we were saying and after some small
talk and saying we were missionaries he just yelled YO SOY SATANAS which
means I'M SATAN and ran away hahahaha it was SO funny. we were just
like alright and kept walkin around! the next guy we talked to we placed
a book of mormon, so that made up for it. he was reading it as he left
too, it was so cool!
We also had elder evans of the 70 come speak to us
about families! he's over all the missionaries in the world, so it was a
big deal. we also had a super spiritual experience with my district
leader elder schubert, who really struggles with spanish. Hna alfara
asked him if he had faith that a blessing would help him with the
language, and then he asked another elder in my district to give him a
blessing and the spirit was CRAZY strong and they were both crying! and
since then, he's improved so so much, honestly a miracle. i am so grateful for the priesthood and my district family!
Today my companions and i took a taxi to the TALLEST
BUILDING IN SOUTH AMERICA!! haha the first 6 floors are a mall, so we
went and ate american pizza and ice cream and went to the grocery store
and just talked to people, it was so fun! chileans really do talk fast
though, so that was a bit of a struggle but i was shocked at how much i
could talk and communicate and understand! the taxi drivers were both so
nice, one of them had a best friend that is lds and the other gave us
all his info in case we ever needed help around santiago haha it was a
good day. there was also a temblor or a small earthquake this morning!! i
guess they happen a lot here, so one down more to go i guess!
sorry this is so long haha it's been an awesome
week! i've been trying to be friends with all the latinos because I LOVE
LATINOS. haha it's so fun, south america is the best. but i also miss
france like every day so i don't even know! OH the next time i email
will be in the field so it will probably be like 2 weeks because i leave
to go to the field next tuesday but pdays are on mondays, so dont freak
out if i don't say anything for a while (mom :) ) BUT i love you all
and i am so sad to leave the ccm but i can't wait to get out to VINA DEL
MAR!! LO MEJOR MISION EN TODO EL MUNDO! :)
siempre sueno de pan,
hna hansen
Sweet Hayley! Who wouldn't want to talk to her with that enthusiasm?! I love it!
