Familia! I am so full of emotions right now! We said goodbye to
Presidente Wright and Hermana Wright today! SO CRAZY! So today, half the
mission had their P Day with President and Hermana Wright. We went to a
BEAUTIFUL park in the richer part of the mission. It was so crazy because we
took "street" clothes to change into....So just seeing a lot of
missionaries in their normal clothing was just a little weird jajaja! It was so
fun! We took meat and had an asado! Soooo fun. It was so fun hanging out
with my missionary friends the whole day jajaja. Love being a missionary. We
had an egg toss, and that was a little frightening, but all good times! Some
missionaries started throwing eggs at President Wright, and that was a little
out of control jajaja.
In the end, we all gathered around in a circle and President and
Hermana Wright said some parting words.... So crazy! They said to always stay
true, especially after the mission. They have so much love for the
missionaries, and I just love them! They are so important to me! Their example
will always stay with me! We sang "God Be With You ´Till We Meet
Again" in espanol and it was presh. I know we are one of the smallest
missions in the world jaja, and I am so happy we had the chance to spend the
day with Presidente and Hermana Wright. Giving my last hug to Hermana Wright
was bittersweet. Thankful they live in the same country as me jajaja.
So.... Life is good here in Chile! Presidente and Hermana Morgan
come tomorrow, and we will meet them on Thursday! I am excited! I will miss
President and Hermana Wright, but they have served their time, and area ready
to go home.
I just LOVE being a missionary. So much fun! Truly, an honor! So we
are in the third week of the transfer...I am pretty sure these are my last
weeks in La Reina jajaja. Hermana Kimball lives with us now, and she is from
Washington/Idaho. Super enthusiastic, and super sweet.
Hermano Marcos is the assistant to our ward mission leader. He
always takes pictures of us to send to you guys! He is wonderful!!
So this last week went by fast! Super crazy! Just so thankful to have many wonderful
experiences. We are really trying to find new people to teach. It is hard
sometimes, because talking with people on the streets is interesting jajaja. I
know the good and the bad is helping me progress.
BEST experience of the week: We received a reference from a member
who does not live in our ward. He has a friend who lives in our ward boundaries
who wanted to know about the church. His name is Bastian, and his friend is
called Loreto. She is 21, and super sweet. Bastian has been less active for
about five years, and he decided to start coming back to church like a month
ago! So the four of us met in the capilla and we had an AMAZING lesson. We felt
the Spirit so strong. We talked about Joseph Smith and el Libro de Mormon. She
had awesome questions, and she told us she was going to read the Book of Mormon
because she loves to read. We are going to call her today to see if we can meet
with her Thursday. Praying that all goes well.
I am so happy, happy to be a missionary. I would not change this
experience for anything! Seriously, the love of the Savior is my motivation to
work. I love Him so much! I am so happy to be here serving Him and sharing His
gospel. The Gospel truly is a blessing. It teaches us how to be happy!
Can’t wait to tell you all about Presidente Morgan and Hermana
Morgan....Should be fun! Hope all is well!
Love, Hermana Mittleman
