Everyone is sick -- but we're out of quarantine!! Wait what

May 17, 2021

This week I was sick for almost the entire week but we still worked as much as we could. For me it started with an ear infection which turned into being deaf in one ear (still deaf in one ear, 😢 I'm going to an ear doctor on Wednesday) ... and that combined with sore throat and stomach pain which resulted in me sleeping a lot. I got a covid test and it turned out negative which is great!

We were still able to work fairly normally every day, we just had to adjust for sleeping the entire morning- every morning...

It was pretty funny, after the medic came to our house to give me the Covid test he told me to wear a mask in the house while we waited for the results, and to separate my dishes from the rest, and so my plate and bowl and cup were in what I called the "contamination zone" in the corner of the room

My companion and hermana Gaete were pretty sick as well with the flu

Also almost everyone we talked to this week was sick or their family member is sick.

But-- we get out of quarantine today!! Uh, the Covid numbers are going down, but huh. Hopefully we won't spread the flu to all of Maipú... we got our flu shots a few days ago but we're still a bit sick..


but today we were okay!! There were like a million people outside in Maipú

We had a great lesson with our friend Jonathan about the Word of Wisdom and we read Daniel 1 to help him. He completely changed!

Today we played soccer and basketball and volleyball as a zone and it was greatttt!

I spent most of the rest of my p day downloading music and saving it on my mp3 player so sorry I kind of skimped on the email this week :/

but yeah

uh
bye

 9/6/21 Hi everyone! So I'm still here in El Abrazo, it'll be my fifth transfer here and I'm doing great! I was kind of ready for a change but I'll enjoy it! My companion is Hermana Hawes, who I already know, we lived together for two transfers! And now we're back again, her after 3 areas, 5 companions and emergency transfers and craziness and me after 1 companion in the same area as always! We're excited to be together, and so far today's been great. We're in the beginning of September, the most patriotic month! It's like the fourth of July but every day but in Chile with Chilean flags and food and music and so far I like it, the big days are the 18th and the days around it. Our friends are doing great, Diego is awesome! He received an awesome confirmation that the church and the book of mormon is true in a dream (I've heard so many cool dream stories and all my dreams are stupid or utter nonsense), and now he is thinking about baptism and progr...

Hola! We have a friend we found on Facebook named Erick and he's like the frickin classiest guy. He went to Harvard and a few other big name universities. He's super smart and is pretty golden. (he's the person I was talking about a few weeks ago that I want to improve my Spanish so I can talk to him better) He's originally from Mexico. We were talking one day about learning Spanish and he showed us his visual dictionary he used when he was learning French (he speaks English fluently as well..) We thought it was super cool and he said he'd give it to us when he comes to church. We asked him where he lives and he said Alexandria...... bruh. I love Alexandria but I don't live there anymore. We were devastated because that means we can't teach him, we have to pass him off to other missionaries. This is literally the best frickin guy. He drove 25 minutes to Woodbridge to pick up his Libro de Mormón and also to come to church this Sunday (he brought his mom too!)...

The winds of change

 6/21/21 Holis! this week was a little bit crazy, but overall great! My companion Hermana Rondón went home and I got a new companion, Hermana Espinoza. She's from Chile, from Talca, and we're pretty similar. She loves music and plays the violin. It's been a little lonely in the house because we're the only ones here, both Hermana Gaete and Hermana Hawes got transferred and their area switched to elders :( But we're off to a great start! We work well together. We invited our friend Joseline to be baptized and she accepted! She's going to pray about it and will be baptized July 9th if it's the right day for her. Something I loved in my study this week: Doctrine and Covenants section 59! I loved reading about the commandments, especially about keeping the sabbath day holy. I don't have anything too terribly exciting for you all, but I have a few pictures. I guess I just want you to know that I'm doing really great ^-^ I have also attached an alarm from ...
