Mucho ojo con el chupe de guata en cualquier lugar, dos misioneros en Vina del Mar estuvieron bien enfermos, seguramente no la hirvieron lo suficiente.
Yo disfruto cada semana tus aventuras y logros, definitivamente eres muy bendecida con: sabiduria. espiritualidad, companerismo y sobre todo el espiritu de Dios.
Me siento prgullosa de ti. Disfruta tu mision que sera un recuerdo para toda tu vida. Ojala yo pudiera volver a otra mision , pero regrese muy enferma de la columna.
Te quiero y oro por ti, le he escrito a Sherlyn y no me contesta

So tuesday I went to the mission office to pick up my new companion I´ll be training. As usual all the trainers were sitting in one room and our trainees in the other, both anxious and nervous to meet our new companions. We stood up and sang Called to Serve as they filed into the room one by one and I lead the music. There was such an intense vibe in the room as we looked into eachother`s faces and thought "that could be my companion..." The day before someone showed me a picture of the 4 sisters that were coming and one in particular stood out to me, a tall blonde, who I had actually seen walking around the temple grounds a couple weeks back when I went with our recent converts in Santa Maria! As I looked at her picture something inside me just knew she`d be my companion. President Essig and his wife bore their testimonies about how after picking his A.P.`s the next thing he picks out is who`s going to train. They said that we were sitting there because we are the best missionaries of the mission and they wanted to give them the very best start. Their words impacted me a lot and I am just so so grateful for the trust and confidence not only our mission president, but the Lord has put in me to train again, I don´t feel like I´m anything special compared to other missionaries, but the Lord has blessed me with many talents and strengths to hasten his work here in Chile. Finally the time came, and when they called on the tall blonde the name that immediately followed was mine!!! AAAAHHHH!!!! I just knew it! I ran over and gave her the biggest hug! So my new companion is Hermana Broadhead from Draper, Utah. She´s 19, so part of the new generation of missionaries coming into the field and it has just been the funnest week together, we get along super great and have very similar personalities. We couldn´t be more blessed to be in our new area, Curacavi! First of all, our house is super cute and we have a washer machine, woohoo! Second, after 7 long months in branches I´m finally in a ward, not only that, but we have the full support of the members, we have ward missionaries and the ward leadership is organized the way it should be and they have just been so loving and welcoming, I feel like I´ve known them my whole life already. Third, we have awesome investigators that the previous sisters we´re teaching and I am positive we´re gonna have a baptism this transfer, this place is a gold mine! We jumped right into it, we`re on bike, and everyday when we come home I´m completely exhausted but with the total satisfaction that we are on the Lord`s errand and being diligent so he can bless us accordingly. Fourth, we have district meeting in Santiago so we are close to the city so it´s the best of both worlds since Curacavi is campo (country).A funny story this week is that we taught a gypsy man named Roberto who thinks he knows english but really the only thing he can say is "wait one moment pleade" and "yeah baby!" hahaha" Hna. B and I were trying soo hard not to bust out laughing during that lesson! He gave us food and my companion got her first taste of "chupe de Guata" aka cow stomach...yummmm! (but really I vomit in my mouth) Anyways, I guess that´s all for this week! Many incredible adventures ahead, stay tuned!xoxo,Hna.Ibarra
