A Giant Chilean Rat!

We get to Skype for Mother's Day!

So, there are two investigators that are really strong right now: C. and E.

C is 23 and has a little girl who is almost a year old. She has some problems, and doesn´t have a religious background, so her progression is slow. BUT she loves coming to church and she´s had awesome experiences with feeling the Spirit when she prays at night.

E. is 40+ and has 4 children, two are married and gone. She and one of her daughters who lives in the south of Chile just found out this week that they´re both taking the lessons from the missionaries! They go to church together, with their other children too, and read and pray together whenever possible. She may move in with her daughter at the end of June, so that´ll be good. Her kids that live with her are 12 and 13, so she wants them to have a better environment and example.

Tell Cindy I aprove of that name (not that they need my approval haha) and wish Connie the best of luck for me! There´s a lot of Chilean families who have kids really close in age and their houses are always CRAZY! haha

So, first I´ll talk about Thursday. THursday was a perfectly full, super close moon. My comp and I were looking at it and trying to think of what our families would be doing right then. It was about 6pm your time. So, on the 86th day of my mission, it finally hit me that I´m not coming back home for two years....but then I woke up on Friday and haven´t been homesick since, so no big deal :) Also on Friday, around 10pm my time, WE KILLED A GIANT CHILEAN RAT!! A member has the pictures, but she didn´t get them sent to us so I don´t have them to send to you right now. Maybe next week ;)

So, I have a crazy goal for my mission...read the Book of Mormon, in Spanish, every change (6 weeks). That´s 112 pages every week; 16 pages every day. It´s crazy tough because I don´t have that kind of time, but so far I´m on track :) Wish me luck!

When we go to the Temple on May 15th, I´m going through for Clark W McDearman, just if you wanted to know :) (That's a name from the Balluff family tree)
