Courtney's Week #63

Hola!

Well, so I guess I will start out with the cambios. Hermana Wilcock finished her training yesterday and today she was sent to a different part of the mission with a missionary from Argentina. She will be great! Training is difficult, I feel as though I learned so much in the last two changes. I have never cried with cambios of companions, but I sure cried today. Hermana Wilcock is so awesome, I am very grateful for the opportunity that I had to be with her and to be her trainer. 

So, may seem hard to believe after I just talked about how hard it was to train, but tomorrow I will recieve my new companion and I will be training again. I am kind of a little reluctant, but excited at the same time. 

A little funny story, I guess its not really that funny, but still. So the secretary in the office changed recently to a different Elder. I called this morning to find out who I would be with and where until my new companion arrives tomorrow and he told me that I would be with two other missionaries but in my own sector, so I went to the office to drop off Hermana Wilcock with her new companion and found out that the secretary didn't call the other missionaries at all. So the new plan I am going to Lampa to spend the night and I did not bring anything with me. So I will be using the same clothes tomorrow and everything and maybe sleeping in them as well. As far as hygiene products I haven't quite figured that part out yet. Oh well, it will be a great first impression for my new companion, right?

So now I really do have a funny story, this week we were walking in the part of our sector that is super countryish and this guy passed us in the street and was like "Hey, be careful of the wizards over there." It was probably the most random thing to say, but it was super funny. 

Other thing, this actually happened two weeks ago, but I forgot to tell you guys. So the member who usually conducts the music in Sacrament meeting was late to arrive, and so they asked me if I could do it. So here in Chile there aren't a whole lot of people who know how to play the piano, and so in a lot of wards what you do is the person who is conducting sings like the first line of the song so that everyone knows the tone and then everyone sings acapella. The opening song was "I know that my redeemer lives," but just like in English there are two different songs that start like that and they are on the same page. Well, being super excited because one of our investigators just showed up and not really paying attention, I gave the tone for the wrong song, and started everyone singing. People started singing the two different songs, it was pretty much a disaster. I had to stop the music and start over. It was pretty funny, but a little embarrassing too. 

Well, that's all I have for this week. I will let you guys know how things go with my new companion. I do not even know if it is a Latina or una Norte Americana, but I will know by tomorrow. Cuidense mucho!

Love you all!
Hermana Evans
