Hola Familia!
Wow, I hope everyone had the greatest Christmas and it was so
fun to talk to you on Friday!!! Yesterday we had transfers and Hermana San
Martin was transfered to Copiapo. I will be staying here in Tocopilla and will
be tranining!!! I am so excited and will get my new companion on Wednesday in
Antofagasta. In the meantime I will be working with Fernanda, a member of the rama (branch).
She is super and served her mission in Salt Lake!
As far as this week goes, I don't think there has been a
faster week in the mission. We were so busy! Christmas was incredible and I
loved the experience of Christma in the mission. As a district on Wednesday we
went to the hospital and visited people and also sang Christmas carols in the
street and handed out little packages with candy and pass along cards. Hermana
SM an I walked around with Santa hats all week too. Here in Tocopilla there
are Christmas caravans that drive around all day throwing out gifts and
candy.
On Christmas Eve, which is the day they celebrate here in
Chile Hna SM and I spent the day mostly with members. We helped wrap gifts and
get other last minute things done. In the night we went and had dinner with
Familia Nievas and after in the pension celebrated like Chileans. At 12 we toasted
to Christmas and then opened our gifts. We had a fun time and it will always be
a fun memory.
On Christmas we also visited a lot of members and also had a
few lessons which was good but it was a pretty normal day here.
As far as investigators go...
-We found a new investigator Darinkat who is amazing! We
were able to teach the restoration and the spirit was so strong. We have
another appt on Saturday and I am anxious to see if she really keeps her
commitment to read the BOM and pray.
-We also have started teaching Jacky, Camila's mom and she is
the sweetest. She is really going through some hard things with her family so
we always go and help her cook, and teach her at the same time. The other day
we all sat peeling potatoes and talked about the plan of salvation. It was
really great and Fernanda was able to come with us too.
-Carla isn't progressing too much and it's hard because she
will be leaving to Argentina soon but we will see what happens. She isn't really
keeping her commitments which is a bummer.
We have a lot of future investigators to contact this week
so hopefully we will continue to find new investigators!!!
I have loved this transfer with Hermana San Martin and will
miss her but am so excited for this coming transfer too!!! Happy New Year!!!
Hermana Freedman
