July 20- July 26

Hello my loved ones!!

Haha! I know you all are dieing to hear how the funeral went. But sadly someone stole the corpse!!! It’s disgusting the kind of world we live in today were people steal things. Haha they thought they won a new pair of shoes but they were mistaken to find a worn out pair of missionary shoes. It was sad, I cried a little bit to have lost this love of my life but my companion and the elders gave me some counsel that I’m going to love these new shoes just as much because we are going to walk a lot of miles together.

I love our district leader here in La Union! He is focused on letting us complete our goals and responsibility as missionaries by completing the missionary standards of the mission for the first time! I’m so excited and pumped! We actually completed the goal for this week as a district and had 15 lessons with members, it feels so good. It really helped all of the numbers take off! We started off as a rocket ship with good momentum and now we are going to keep on soaring!! I like how Elder Saade put it when he said “vamos a trabajar demasiado esta cambio” we are going to work out of control this transfer!

Ok so this letter will be short because my fingers are so cold it is hard to type. This week has been colder than Punta Arenas and I was so confused because it was logical to think that nothing would be colder than Punta Arenas. But one man that knows Punta Arenas told me that it is because everyone has their gas heaters on because it is really cheap down their and here everyone has wood stoves and the people that live here don’t keep there houses warm because it uses a lot of wood. Our leaders called us and told us that we need to change houses because the water and light is expensive in our house we received mail under our door that said that the elders used 34.000 and the Muños family that lives in the apartments only uses 6.000 so I want to move to the apartments because we have a lot of members and investigators that live there. I hope to get everything settled this week by finding a house and finding someone else to live in this house. That is the miracle that we are praying for this week.

Well I better go. We are going to celebrate Elder Saade’s birthday that is today! He was there in the mission office when I came to Chile and so he made a video for you guys to tell you what it was like when I first came to Chile and didn’t speak Spanish. He said that he tried to talk to me but I just smiled and said “hola”! Haha he is so funny! You are going to love the video because his English is really good. I have a goal with my companion to speak in English to each other and I only have 3 months before she goes to her home in Perú so we have a lot of work but she is catching on quick.

Remember that I love you very much!

With all my love,Hermana Wade
