Guess what?? I moved again! This transfer was a little shorter than normal because the President of this mission (the area of Chile from Santiago to the city of Los Andes in the Andes) is changing. I am now in a town called San Felipe!!! It is only about an hour bus ride from my last sector and again is in the mountains but in a normal sized city : ) And my new companion is Hna Coccen from Argentina!!!! I’m so excited to have a Latina companion! Hna Coccen is super funny and sweet! And very understanding with my Spanish : ) I am glad to be able to meet new people here and help in San Felipe!
Have you been watching the World Cup?? It’s a Really big deal here and we can’t leave the house when Chile is playing! Let me tell you South Americans like their soccer! It’s fun to see everyone decked out in patriotic colors and gearing up for the games! Haha the day of the first games Hna Dodds and I made the mistake of forgetting the date.... we were close to town so we stopped be the lideres (wal-mart brand in Chile who know? ). This, as you may imagine, was a bad call. Picture Walmart 30 minutes before the super bowl... yup : ) Once we got out we waited for a bus or taxi... and waited... and waited, after 30 minutes we decided to rough it and just walk home, (a 80 min adventure through the vineyards so I’m not complaining). We had a good laugh and tried to be productive by talking with everyone we passed (not many people) buut in front of this old huge Chilean mansion Full of crazy exotic birds! This man dressed in black with a wheel barrow we assumed he worked at this house and started talking with him, when we asked where he lived he answered here, like nothing was up.... a 25 year old man dressed in black living alone in a huge house with 100s of birds and a dead dog in a wheel barrow.... Hna Dodds is obsessed and couldn’t stop talking about him all day : ) we were working in the house when she stopped and looked at me he’s Batman!!! A rich young guy living alone, it’s the only answer! [ hahaha got to love her!
What I learned from all of this is that God can work with our imperfections! Maybe we were silly for forgetting the world cup and being in the city but God put people in our way that needed our help! He knew that we would make mistakes but he helps us succeed all the same : )
I hope you can find God{s hand in your life today! it’s ALWAYS there!!
Love always,
