I greet you from a VERY happy morning in Concepcion....because...I AM STAYING IN HUALQUI!!! After a week of crying at the thought of leaving this week...I`m not! I get 6 more weeks in Hualqui!!! I will be here for Navidad!! I am so happy!!!!
Sad thing is that my little daughter is leaving! Her training is all finished...she is all grown up and will be using her wings and moving out! I will miss her a ton! We have had so much fun together and she has been so great with me and all the issues I constantly bring haha.
But.
I`ll get a new daughter! I`m training again! Daughter number 3! I`ll be picking the little baby up tomorrow! I love training! I`m super excited!!
Also I learned that my first daughter...Hermana Ardnt...is going to be a sister training leader! I am so proud! Oh my little family here in Chile is growing!
Okay enough of that stuff.
Oh one more thing! Hermana Razeira is leaving Hualqui too which is super sad because I love her a ton...but Hermana Linu de Peru is coming in her place!! Hermana Linu is my favorite and I love her to death! We have always dreamed about the day when we could finally live together! So I am very very happy!! Hualqui for 6 months!! Ahhh so much love!
Other news...I had to go this morning to the mission home and say good bye to my dearest Hermana Tejerina. It was super hard knowing that I wont see her for years....if that. We cried a lot but ended by just feeling super blessed that I was able to know her and learn from her and have her in my life. One day I`ll get to go visit her in Bolivia. Also hermana Lopez goes home tomorrow too and hermana De Leon! Its all super sad.
This week was good. I cant really remember anything that happened but it was all good....lets see.
Nope I dont remember anything.
My emails will have to be shorter from now on because they shorted our internet time by a half hour.
But I am good! My leg has been behaving perfectly for 2 weeks now....So I am feeling very hopeful! We`ll see.
I love Hualqui!
I love Chile!
I love food...especially empanadas and papas fritas and churros con manjar and helado and pan con palta and pescado frito and pollo frito and all the unhealthy foods of the earth!
