Holita! Here I am in Chile! Just having the time of my life. Oh my
lanta, I just love my mission. It is hard, but I love it! This week FLEW by!
Insane!
My birthday last week was awesome! We had a little fiesta in the
capilla. I invited some Hermana friends and two ladies from the ward. We ate
Papa John´s and cupcakes. Then after we went to the casa de la family Ortiz
Cortes. Hermana Daniela had totally decorated for my birthday.... IT WAS SOOO
SWEET! I love them! I felt so loved. We had cake, and they gave me some
earrings from Lapiz Lazuli. It is a stone here in Chile. They are little
butterflies, and sooo presh. So thankful for their love. And of course, in the
night, President Wright and Hermana Wright called me and sang to me! So presh!
It was a great week! My companion, Hermana Rivera, is a hard worker!
She misses home, and it’s been a little hard for her. But she loves the Lord,
and she is a wonderful example for me. We had a meeting with all the new
missionaries this week...it was weird returning as a trainer! ah! Talk about
being humbled!
This week we did divisions with our sister training leader, Hermana
Paddock. She came here to La Reina and helped me. We had a LEGIT lesson with a
menos activo familia. We taught about the Atonement, and we OWE it to Jesus
Christ to show up at the capilla every Sunday and REMEMBER what He did for us.
We felt the spirit so strong! ...They did not come on Sunday...but that is ok!
My testimony of the Sacrament was strengthened immensely.
We had a recent convert, Hugo, accompany us to a lesson this week
with Marquitos and Anita Maria. Hugo got baptized December 28th of last year,
and lives in the sector of the other hermanas. He cannot read, but he is so
humble. He had cut his hair, and now he just beams with the Spirit! It is
amazing to see the change that occurs in people as they come to know Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ. As we were walking with him after the lesson, it was
late and really dark, but I felt so safe with him! As disciples of Christ, I
knew we could trust him. So great!
The twins are on vacation...lolz! They have a baptismal date for the
22nd! So, prayers for them!
Alicia received the gift of the Holy Ghost yesterday! It was so
presh! Hermana Rivera and I walked her up to the stand! One of the bishopric
members performed the ordinance, and when it was done, Hermana Rivera and I
returned to the stand to help her down, and she said to us "did you bring
the tithing?" hahaha, and I was like, "yes, afterwards we can give it
to them!" So. presh.
I love being a missionary. I love Chile. In the meeting of the new
missionaries, Hermana Wright told us that the streets of Chile will be a sacred
place for us for the rest of our lives. We give everything here. Our hearts,
our time, our testimony, etc. When Hermana Rivera finishes her training, I will
have 9 months in the mission!
Love, Hermana Mittleman
