Courtney's Week #76


Hola!

So, I will not be flying to Vernal, I will be flying to Salt Lake, supposedly on the 27th of October. But I will talk to the Office and make sure that they send you something, at least an email or something. 

Hey, so guess what? I have emergency changes, but don´t worry. What happened is that in a different sector a convert fell in love with a misionera, actually it is one of my old companions Hermana Sampson. And so, well, today I am going to go replace Hermana Sampson and finish training her companion too. I was a little bit excited to have a rest from training, but I guess God has different plans for me. So I will be finishing the last 5 and half weeks training in a new sector. I am a little bit sad, Hermana Anderson is a super awesome companion so I am a little sad that I only had 1 week with her. Also the saddest part is that Guillermo is going to be baptized this Sunday and I won´t be able to be there for it. But, oh well, I guess it is just part of the mission--having my will swallowed up in the will of the Father. 
 
 
So a lof of the Chileans don´t really know how to smile or how to act in pictures, but this is Guillermo. 

On a brighter note, tomorrow is independence day in Chile. It is really cool because they dance and eat and celebrate for 5 days and it is really cool. It is also a little hard to find people to teach.

Hey, so we had a really cool experience this week. Guillermo, our investigator called me on Monday night and asked if we could come over to house to teach his son who was visiting for a couple of days. Unfortunately it was 11:00 at night and so we were already in our house for the night, but we passed by the next day. Guillermo was so excited. His son is 21-years old, he didn´t really have a lot of interest, he was mainly worried about missing the soccer game that would come on in half an hour, but it was really cool to watch Guillermo be so excited to share his testimony with his son. Before we had gotten there he had pretty much shared everything he had learned, the restoration, the Word of Wisdom, and also about baptism. It was a great experience and it warmed my heart a little bit to see how much Guillermo has grown and to see the testimony that he has acquired and is nourishing. 

Hey, Bridger, I am really sorry I forgot your birthday. I have been lamenting that all week. I love you lots, what did you do for your birthday party? I sent you an email to your other email. I hope you got it. 

Well, I love you all!
Hermana Evans

Grandma (Sonia y su nieta Antonella) who got baptized a few weeks ago, the one who had to wait until she was free from jail. She doesn´t really look like a criminal right?
