Ok, straight up, I have about nine minutes to write this. SO much
has happened this week. My new companion is Hermana Vega, from Peru. She has
about ten months in the mission. Hermana Velazquez is staying in our ward!!!!
She got transferred to the other sector jajajaja! So she had to pack all her
stuff just to come back to the same apartment jajaja. It is weird, but it’s good!
So, I shall not lie, this last week has been one of the hardest
weeks EVER (do I say that a lot?). It has been tough with my new companion.
HOWEVER my past week has been filled with the Spirit. On Sunday, I was sitting
in sacrament meeting and I felt soooo hopeless. I felt really alone, and I was
not sure how I was going to make it through five more weeks....Then I
remembered my Savior. Truly, I know He has felt every weakness, despair, doubt,
etc. I felt the Spirit in my heart, and I felt peace. It was such a relief. It
was so clear in my mind that Heavenly Father was not going to take away my
burdens, but I felt clearly the love Jesus Christ has for me. It was like He
was telling me, "I am here. I know EXACTLY how you feel. Let’s do this
together." Never in my life have the words "take my yolk upon
you" meant so much. I KNOW He lives. Like Paul, like Joseph Smith, I will
glorify my God in my trials. I have felt the enabling power of the Atonement so
strong in my life these past days. There is NO doubt in my mind that Christ
lives. He knows me. He is giving me power because every day I put my faith in
Him and I ACT with faith. I am obedient, and I have felt Him strengthening me.
I love my mission. I LOVE it. I am becoming stronger. I am paying the price to
come to know my Savior.
Anyway, today we went to the country!!!! Dad will be happy to know
jajaja. We went to a place called "Cajon de Maipo". Go google it! It
looks like Utah jajaja. Near Alpine or there abouts. A lot of hills, and there
was snow on the tops of the mountains. So peaceful and gorgeous. Seriously, I
love Chile. A couple from our ward took us. Hermano Patricio and Hermana
Veronica. They are probs the FUNNIEST people I know.
Today we did intercambios and I had to go to the CCM with Hermana
Velazquez so she could see Doctor Call. She sprained her ankle, and I got to go
and help translate. Lolz. Hermano Pato and Hermana Veronica took us in their
car. They are so nice! As we were driving a bunch of police on motorcycles
swarmed past and then all of a sudden we saw a normal car stop in the middle of
the road with a little blue siren on top. The man got out and started running
toward a street and we saw he had a police badge on and was carrying a huge
revolver! Scary jajajaja! It was legit because it all happened right in front
of us. Hermana Veronica got all excited and called her daughter to tell her to
watch the news.
I am well! I am happy! I love you all! The bus took about an hour
and a half to get home from the CCM so that is why we are late. Sorry! Please
just pray for me! Love you guys!!
Love, Hermana Mittleman
