Hola Familia!
Well, I guess the first news is, that we had cambios (transfers) again, and for the first time I did not switch sectors or companion, we just had an addition. Hermana Hadlock and I are now with Hermana Sampson. She got here six weeks after I did and just finished her training. So here we are, tres gringas (three Americans). I don´t know why, but President has started doing like a segregation in the mission. All of the latinos are together and all of the norte americanos are together with very few exceptions. How are we ever supposed to learn Spanish? Oh well, hopefully things will go well, I am not exactly thrilled about being in a trio, it was hard enough in the MTC, but I´ve decided that we are going to make the best of the situation.
Oh, so this week was actually the primary program for my ward here in Chile. It was pretty good, there are a lot less primary children so all of the kids had fairly big parts. But for the program they went all out, they made little trinkets for the whole ward and all the kids were even dressed the same. It was quite the ordeal.
So, miracle of the week. We have an investigator that came to church!! We only taught her about the restoration the night before and invited her to church. She told us that she was lazy, but to write down the direction of the church. We left her house at about 9 o´clock in the night and she said that it would be a miracle if she went. We were a little bit insistent and told her that we were going to pray for a miracle then, she laughed but still wouldn´t commit to go. Which for latinos pretty much means definitely not. But guess what we turned around after Sacrament meeting and there she was, in one of the back rows comfortably seated with one of the counselors of the Relief Society who she had briefly met before because they are neighbors. She told us she was going to leave to go eat lunch but that she liked Sacrament Meeting. We were really happy that she even came and went to our class. Two minutes later the Relief Society counselor herded her into the Gospel Principles class. She had gone and found our investigator and committed her to stay. I Love this Ward!! Anyways, our investigator, Cynthia, had read the chapter that we gave her, but also read all of the scriptures in the back of the restoration pamphlet and took notes. It was just so awesome.
I am really content to be able to stay here for another cambio. Our investigators are just starting to progress and it makes me so happy. I just hope that everything continues to go well! Things are going to be quite cozy in our little apartment with three people, and I also think its really intimidating and awkward for people to have three people, but hopefully all will go well.
Well, family, I love you!!
Hermana Evans
