| The view from my new apartment! "Hello, Ocean! I've missed you." |
Hola Familia!!
I made it to Coquimbo my new sector! And I absolutely love it here!! The people here are so friendly and everyone stops to talk to us. It is incredible!! We live so close to the ocean and we actually have a view of it from our apartment. It is beautiful here and the zone is also awesome! It is a lot smaller than the zone in Quilpue but I love it because we are already really close. I am so so so excited to be working here! We are teaching a girl named Constanza who has a baptismal date for October 26th! She has already taken the lessons from lots of missionaries but feels like it is finally her time to get baptized! She is really excited to get baptized but just needs to go to church!! She has to go 2 more times before she can be baptized so please pray for Constanza that she will get to church. But she is really awesome I'm excited to keep teaching her!
Hermana Brooks is my new companion and she is absolutely hilarious. I love her and she is a really hard worker! She is from Canada and she has been out for a little over a year.
Our apartment is unreal! It is soo nice! I feel like I am living in a hotel. It has a view of the ocean and 2 BATHROOMS. I feel like a queen,
Ok so on Wednesday, I took an 8-hour bus ride up north to Coquimbo but the next day I had to take the same bus ride back to Viña because we had a leadership council on Friday. So on Thursday we went all the way back, stayed in the apartment of the hermana leaders in Viña, went to the council on Friday and then took the bus another 8 hours back to Coquimbo haha. In total: 24 hours in a bus in 3 days. It was exhausting but a fun week of traveling.
General conference was amazing!! So inspiring. I really felt like a lot of the talks were meant for me! I especially felt the spirit really strong during Elder Eyring's talk when he talked about greater holiness and greater happiness. I felt so much peace while he was talking and I felt that as I strive to draw closer to God that I will be blessed with eternal happiness. During his talk, I really felt the Lord telling me that he is pleased with my work as a missionary and that he understands my effort. I really needed that. I sometimes feel very inadequate to do this work but the Lord knows that I am trying my best and that is all that matters!
Love you all so much!
Que tengan la mejor semana!

p.s. I just heard from Hermana Varela that Melissa C got baptized just this past Saturday in Quilpue. I am so happy for her. Of course, I wish I could have been there, but she sent me some pictures and her dad was able to baptize her. I'm so happy, I almost cried when I saw the pictures.
