Hola Famila!
So, this week has been so awesome. So just to answer your question, my trainer actually dated this guy for two years before her mission, but when he left for his mission she started dating lots of guys and pretty much forgot about him, so he had to kind of win her back while she was in the mission, he got a job offer like in another part of the states or something but didn´t want to go without her and so he proposed while she was here in the mission and is getting married on March 10, I just got an email from her and she is happy as can be, its just super super funny.
So my new companion is pretty much awesome, also its kind of fun because since she is leaving in three weeks she wants to take advantage of the time that she has left here in Chile. Today we got permission to do all of our studies super early in the morning and today we are headed to Santiago to do some shopping! I´m pretty excited, even though I don´t have any money, its still super fun. But yeah, we are only going to do half of our internet here in Los Andes and then do the other half in a few hours. Oh, so I should probably get my ears checked when I get home. I´ve had three companions now that have asked me if I have troubles hearing, I might be going a little bit deaf. Hopefully not, but I guess we´ll see. It would be a little bit sad if I have to get hearing aids at the age of 22. I´m hoping that I just need to get my ears cleaned out or something.
My new companion is Hermana Ellsworth from Mesa, Arizona, but she actually has a lot of family in Vernal and Roosevelt. She even lived in Roosevelt for a few years. Her grandparents were actually the first temple president of the Vernal temple, so maybe you knew them dad. Alva and Jean Snow. So funny story, she started talking about the Basin drawl, I told her that I am so happy that I never developed the Basin Drawl, she immediately told me that I do have an accent that shows that I´m from there. She says that I even carry it over to my spanish!! Then she did a very well done over-exaggeration of the way that people talk in Vernal. It was super funny, but I guess I am going to have to work on getting rid of my Vernal accent a little bit.
Hey, guess what, my birthday is next week. I´m going to be 22! I´m actually pretty excited for my birthday, even though it means that I am getting super old! I was talking about this with Hermana Ellsworth, she is 22, and I asked her how she felt about that she told me that it makes her feel like she needs to hurry up and get married or she never will. Which I think is kind of the down part about serving a mission, by the time you come back you´re pretty much an old lady. Oh well, next week I begin my journey as an old lady.
So I always heard things about how strict and everything was my new companion, but I love being with her she is super super funny, and I really love being with her. She´s pretty much awesome. The only sad part is that she goes home in three weeks, I´m not sure exactly what will happen then because its in the middle of the change. Maybe I just won´t have a companion for two weeks, who knows.
Well, I will write a little bit more in a few hours, but love you all! Cuidense!

So it turns out we´re not going to go to Santiago today. My companion doesn´t have any money because her dad was confused about which account to put money in, so if we went today we would have to go again in like two weeks anyway. So instead, we´re going to go on a picnic in Calle Larga and go to Santiago in a couple weeks, but because we did all of our studies and internet and everything early we have practically the whole day ahead of us.
Oh, so funny story. Mom, your story about your homemaking lesson made me remember. So the young women in our ward have serious problems with modesty, but one of them is much worse than the others. So a few weeks ago, she gave a talk in sacrament meeting on...modesty. But the funniest part is, as she was giving her talk she was wearing a spaghetti strap dress with a jacket over it that was falling off her shoulders and her dress only made it to a few inches below her bottom. I was trying really really hard not to judge, but it was a pretty good talk.
Well, I´ve got to go, but I love you all. Let me know how everything goes with the hockey games, finals, snow, and everything.
