..........................................After a loooooooong almost 6 months, I finally left La Isla de Maipo! As I was saying my goodbyes, a lot more members cried than I thought would. It made me understand how important missionaries are not only to the investigators, but to the members also when Hna Loyola said "Gracias por su ejemplo" y su esposo me dijo "Estoy agradecido por haberle conocido y ojalá que puede seguir ayudando a las personas como había hecho conmigo y mi familia". It made me feel important :)
(translation: Thank you for your example. And her husband said, "I am grateful to have known you and hopefully we can continue helping people as you have done to me and my family ")
And now I have the opportunity to be back in the city where life is a little more upbeat. Speaking of which, the computers in the city are sometimes super chanta (including today) so I can´t put on any of the pictures or videos I have :/
I´m in the Zone República, but as to my actual sector within that Zone....no idea :P haha, oh and sorry to break it to you now, but instead of it just being me and my companion, we´re a trio.....I´m not the biggest fan of being in a trio....
About Elder Holland: We laughed, he cried, everyone had a good time :) Oh, and after about 20 minutes of yelling at us and threatening to put pepper in our empanadas, I´m definitely going to make sure all the friends I make in the mission stay active after they return home (funny side note: they had to call maintanence to build a new pulpit because Elder Holland broke it from hitting it so hard!! That how much he hates inactive RMs)
I sent a birthday letter to dad last week and hopefully Elder R will send the bday letter to you and the package I asked him to send for me. I didn´t want to carry all the stuff I want to send home to a new sector just for one day :P
Hopefully all goes well this week :)
