Hola!
I hit my 9-month mark in intercambios and the hermana I was with (Hermana Scaroni) made me take a picture with a balloon in my shirt like a 9-month pregnancy. Its something all the hermanas do down here in Viña when we hit 9 months. Also hermana Scaroni taught me how to salsa and I taught her some gringo dance moves. I had a lot of fun in intercambios this week and learned a lot from the other hermanas in my zone. They are so positive and motivated and have really taught me a lot!
Also in intercambios with Hermana Brooks, she told me all day she was going to make me tacos but when we got back to the pension we realized we didn't have tortillas. We were so disappointed for about 5 seconds but then we just decided to make homemade tortillas and they were so good!!
Oh also we saw a cow in the middle of the road so I had to take a picture of that.
Today one of the Elders in my district wanted to have a barbeque and he cooked for everyone so that was awesome!
This week was pretty hard. We don't have anyone to teach so we are searching high and low and talking to everyone that we see. We know there are people waiting, we just have to find them! I know I'm in a growing point in my mission and that I need to keep working even when it's hard. I know this gospel is true with all my heart and even though it's hard to have faith in the people sometimes its never hard to have faith in Heavenly Father and Christ. They love us so much and understand exactly what I am going through. He knows the rejection and disappointment that I am feeling right now and I am trusting in him all the way!! It's not all sunshine and rainbows on the mission! It would just be a year and a half vacation if it was like that. But I know that I'm growing and that I have to trust in the Lord more now than ever before!
I love you all!
Con mucho amor
Elly
