| Eating Chilean Sushi during exchanges |
Hola Familia!!
Wow, I missed you guys so much! Thanksgiving doesn't exist in Chile and I really missed all the family! I love you guys so much!
I was able to have Thanksgiving though! A member from Hermana Wurdel's old sector invited us to her house with a bunch of other missionaries in that zone. They were all gringos and I was able to speak English and it was fantastic! We ate so much food and it was such a nice break haha. The only thing that sucks is that on the way home the car of the member broke down and we got home really late to the pension. The zone leaders were really mad and kind of chewed out Hermana Wurdel because she is the trainer and has the responsibility.
We had intercambios (exchanges) this week and I tried Chilean sushi! haha! It is made with chicken and is hot so I actually like it way better than normal sushi. haha! I'm not a big fan of raw cold fish.
Anggie and Camila are being baptized this week!! Marcela still has to work out some issues, so she is going to postpone her baptism. 😑 But Anggie and Camila still want to be baptized! It was so so sweet. Camila last Saturday after we set the date was still unsure and said she didn't want to be baptized. She is really really studious and is always studying. She was having problems with feeling like she is never good enough in school. We talked to her and decided to pray. She said the sweetest most sincere prayer ever, and I started crying a little bit because I have seen her progress so much! The next day when we asked her the questions for the baptismal interview she answered the last question that says if you are ready to make this covenant she said "OF COURSE" in English hahaha. If everything works out they will get baptized this weekend and with a miracle their mom Marcela too!
We started this new way of contacting where we actually invite people to be baptized as we are talking to them in the street! At first, it was so weird and I thought people were going to think we're crazy. Well, it is a bit crazy, but guess what? People actually say yes!! We found some awesome new people who were like "yeah I'll be baptized" haha! we'll see if they still want to after they hear the word of wisdom and the law of chastity. haha!😆
It is so so so so hot here in Chile! I am starting to get some pretty sweet tan lines. Its so weird everyone is putting up their Christmas decorations with snowflakes and snowmen but its like 200 degrees outside.
Anyways I love and miss you guys so so much! 4 weeks until we skype! Pray for Anggie, Camila, and Marcela!
Con amor
Hermana Snyder
