August 18th - Week 11 Animo!

Hey everyone!

This week was really slow but still great. We got dropped by quite a few people which was a bummer, but they will have another chance down the road. We didn´t teach very many lessons but the ones we did teach were super powerful. 

But first! Congrats Jilly bean!!!! It sounds like your baptism was so special and you looked so pretty in your white dress. 

This week we had intercambios again so I worked in Pukarani with Hermana Cueva. That was really great and intercambios are always a great learning experience. 

We found a new investigator Marcela this week and she is so great! We actually taught her two days in a row and both times she had so many questions and just wanted to know more! But her boyfriend works 10x10s (10 days in the mine, 10 days here) and so right now he is here so she is living at his apartment so we have 1 more week till we can teach her again. But I'm looking forward to that. 

We also have a new investigator Alejandra who also is progressing. Hopeful for her as well. But I'm always hopeful for everyone haha. 

And our other new investigator is Nicole. She and her son Benjamin both listened to the first discussion. She has so much faith and is the cutest young mom. While we were teaching her I just kept imagining her as the primary or YWs president. She would be stellar. 

Hna. E had some flu virus this weekend so we spent a lot of time in the pension. On Saturday night Hna Clawson came with me because we had appointments in our sector. Funny story. Our first cita was with Carolina. In our sector we have lots of apartments and all the builidngs are the same color. Gustavo and Carolina live in builings that are next to each other, both on the 5th floor, both the same number. I explained to Hna clawson all about carolina knocked the door and it was the wrong apartment!!!! It was our other investigator Gustavo. I almost died, but I just invited him to church and I hope I played it off alright. Carolina ended up falling through and so did our other appointments. We had 2 hours left and had used everyone Hna E and I had planned for. I was freaking our because I was leading sector but I decided to try for Camila who generally can only meet in the mornings. But she was there and we got to teach her!!! We haven't been able to contact her for 2 weeks so that was super awesome. And after we went and had a lesson with Daniel. He is a menos activo and really wants to come back to church. The spirit was so strong and it was a really great end to the day. 

As usual a big testimony builder that the Lord is there for us! I was scared out of my mind to lead sector, 1. because I don't know the sector super well and 2. Spanish, but I did it!!!

Not much else happened. I definitely had to remind myself constantly this week to have ANIMO because it was a lot of walking, or sitting in the apartment when I wanted to be working but I'm amazed how easy it is to be happy here even when everything goes wrong. 

Have the greatest week! Love you all!

August 10th - Week 10, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?

Alo!

This week was great!!! I can't believe there are only 2 weeks left in this cambio! Some highlights of the week!

-I taught Hna. E how to make french toast on Friday night. Mmmmm so yummy and I felt like I was at home! We even used that cheap great value syrup that I love. Only thing we were missing was the Great Harvest bread. 

-The weather this week has been wacky. I'm sure you have probably heard but the waves in Viña have been crazy and there is tons of flooding. Also basically every city in the mission except Arica has gotten rain this week. So unusual and it's so bad when it rains here. The ground doesn't soak up the water and there are mudslides. It was hailing in Antofagasta too. So we are praying for the mission! It was forecasted to rain here yesterday but of course there wasn't one cloud in the sky. But the weather here has been super irregular. It will be super hot and then freezing cold but I guess thats normal in the desert. Some nights it feels like its raining just from the condensation in the air from the beach but thats about all the water we got here. 

-We had intercambios this week and for the next 2 as well since Hna E is an STL. I went with Hna Clawson this week. It was so much fun! She is the greatest, but we spoke so much english which is bad. But we had some really great lessons in her sector so that was cool. 

-Ok....here's a story. This week we went and visited Maria. I dont know if you remember but Maria is the recent convert from the south and she is blind and moved up here to live with her daughter. So Maria had surgery about a month ago on her stomach and just this past week had to go in again because her stomach was infected. So on Friday we went and visited her in her house. She was in bed and we were just sitting and talking. She is so fun to talk to and her facial expressions are the best. We talked for a while and then finally got her to calm down so we could share a lesson. She asked me to pray and as I was folding my arms she got all excited and ripped her sheets off to show us her stitches but oh man we saw a little more than her stitches.....I lost it and Hna E helped her put her blankets back on....it's a good thing she is blind because I was dying...and then I had to pray and oh man it was rough. Hopefully she thought I was taking long pauses just because I don't know Spanish. Hna E and I have been laughing about it all weekend. 

-We had a lesson with Familia Pinto this week and Hermano Cido from our ward. They are neighbors and Hno. Pinto is a new investigator. His wife is too but really she is super catholic and wants nothing...she doesn't even listen. Hopefully if we can get him to accept the gospel she will follow. But anyways, Hno. Pinto is older like 65-70 and he has never had a religion. He has read like every religious text out there, except the Book of Mormon, and has been looking his whole life for the church he feels is true. Little does he know, the font is waiting for him. The lesson was super awesome and thank goodness Hno. Cido was there because the whole time they were just talking about the bible and BOM and how the bom answers all the questions he has ever had about the bible. Hno Cido knows the bible super well so it was perfect. We are going to try to teach another lesson this week with a different member. 

-We got a new investigator Norma. She is an older woman and is so sweet. She invited us in and told us that for weeks she has been watching us from the micro or out her window and everytime she sees us she says her heart feels different. We shared a scripture and hopefully we can start teaching her!

-We also got to teach Marcela and Rodrigo this week who are progressing! Rodrigo works 7x7 so one week here one week in the mines. But we taught them about baptism but the lesson fell because their daughter has been really sick and right as we were going to commit them to a date something went wrong. Rodrigo really loves the idea of the priesthood which is awesome. We committed them to church on sunday so that sofia could get a blessing but they didnt show....we were really hopeful so that was a bummer. But I love them. They are the greatest. They both speak English and its fun because I speak Spanish to them and they speak English back. In time. 

-We also found a new investigator Rodrigo who was a referral. We have been trying to contact him since my first week and he has never been home! He wasn't in our plans yesterday but his light was on so we decided to go visit. It was so cool because we knocked the door and he invited us in but he was alone so we couldn't go in but then 2 women walked up to the door! It was the woman who had given us the referral!!! So we got to teach the restoration with a member! One thing I have learned is that lessons are 10x more powerful with a member there. We are really working hard to have more lessons with memebrs. But anways he was super receptive and asked us if we could set up a time for the 5 of us to meet again. 

-We sang a suprise musical number in church on sunday. Haha I was sitting in sacrament meeting and honestly i dont really understand much because it's hard to hear through the speakers so I just kinda relax...but then Hna E started freaking out and apparently they had announced that we were going to sing so hopefully it sounded alright... It was the 4 of us Hnas. Latinos don't know how to read music so we were all singing on different beats and stuff but whatever...you could still feel the spirit

-Last story. Preface: there are 2 streets I refuse to go on in our sector because both have really scary dogs....anyways, we were asked to verify an address of a menos activo and so we went to find his house. We walked around our sector for 1 hour looking for the street (the streets here are so confusing) and we had no luck. We finally decided to head to a different house because we had spent so much time looking. We were standing next to the scary dog street and a woman went to walk down it. We decided to ask her if they knew where the street was and she told us that it she didn't know the street but that is was nowhere in the area. We walked the long way around to avoid the scary street and when we got to the other side, found a street sign and it was the street we were looking for but it was the dog street. (sorry this is probably making no sense) anyways both dogs were sitting in the middle of the road and I was terrified and didn't want to go down. I said a prayer because i was so scared and we started walking down the street. It was a miracle because as soon as we stepped into the street a door opened and someone called the dogs inside. It is amazing how HF is so aware of us. Hope that story isn't too hard to figure out....sorry...

Anyway, I hope everyone has the greatest week! Shoutout to T-Blake (last time I can call you that) and good luck to you and Garret this week!!!! Also Jilly bean!!!! I am so excited for you!

I was reading in Mosiah 18 today about Alma at the Waters of Mormon and I thought about you! In that story all the people were so excited to be baptized and I hope you are just as excited as they were! Enjoy your last full week of summer! 

Love,
Hermana Freedman

August 3 - Two Months and Two Rookies Alone in Chile

Hey!

Can you believe it's been 2 months, because I can't! This week was good. I learned a lot as usual. Tuesday Hermana E was sick all day so we had to saying in the pension. We had an appointement and 7:30 so we left and started working but that appt. fell through. So we went and visited Maria Jesus who I think I told you about. She literally was golden but she told us that she can't meet with us anymore because her boyfriend doesn't like religion and it was causing problems in their relationship. they have 2 cute little kids. She said she really feels like she needs to keep learning but that she needs to protect her family first so good for her. I know the time will come when she will be in the right circumstances to receive the gospel. Shes ready!!!

Wednesday my intercambio with Hermana Carabine started. I was really excited going into it. We went and worked in her sector, Pukarahni. It was an incredible experience because we both are in training, and neither of us speak great spanish but I know my Heavenly Father is watching out for me because the second our intercambio started I understood 95% of everything people said. I think usually I would say Im at 50%...I was absolutely shocked. And for all of that day and a half I understood everything! Im back to understanding almost nothing haha but it was definitely a miracle this week! Huge testimony builder and we taught some super great lessons. 

There was one lessons in particular on Thursday that really stood out to me. We went and visited a woman Maria Nadia who is less active. We started talking and after a few minutes Hermana Carabine started inviting her to start reading again and going to church. She got a little upset and said that other people need to do that but not her. I thought I was being smart and just told her that we didn't want her to do those things just because we tell her to but that keeping the commandments is a way to show our love for God. She really didn't like that and for about 5 minutes yelled at us. I felt awful because she isn't even in my sector and I made her really mad. We asked to sing a song and pray and she finally agreed. We started singing and the spirit entered the room. I felt impressed to compliment her on her voice and after I did she told us how as a young woman she was in choirs and loved to sing but she ended up losing her voice and can't sing high like she used to and this a challenge for her. We shared a short lessons and invited her to attend ward choir and she was so excited!!! And she wants to go to church now!!! Miracles every day here in the mission!

There was also one house we went to and we started singing but I didn't know the song and neither did Hna C and one thing about Latinos is they don't really know how to follow music or hold a pitch...it's really bad...so we sounded absolutely terrible and I lost it. I couldn't stop laughing. I was just trying to hide behind my hymn book. Oh man. I really gotta get that under control. 

It was good to be back with Hermana E on Friday. I missed her and my sector. Nothing really happened Friday or Saturday and we taught 0 lessons which was discouraging but you just gotta keep working when it gets tough! Friday night there was a baby shower hosted by the relief society and that was fun. There is a recent convert in our sector that we have been trying to meet with and she came so that was good! 

I still love Sundays. Always the greatest day. And I really appreciate the 3 hours of church I have to somewhat relax...haha. Sunday night we had an experience that was really great. So like I said we taught I think 2 lessons this week prior to Sunday which is nothing. None of our investigators were able to meet this week and it was a little discouraging. Sunday we set a goal to get 2 new investigators which at the rate things had been going was probably not likely but we decided we really wanted to work for 2. At 7:30 we had visited every single house, in our sector that we have and nobody had let us in all day. We were walking around our condominium and there was an apartment with lights on that Hna E recognized as a old investigators so we decided to knock the door. A woman Carolina answered the door and let us in. She is SO ready for the gospel!!! So we taught her and her daughter!!!! I felt the spirit so strong and am excited to keep working with her! She lived in Park City for 6 months which was cool and we were able to talk about Temple Square and stuff. she kept bringing the temple up so we have a goal to work towards!! Sometimes you gotta work the whole day or week and have every door shut in your face but when you keep working The Lord always leads you to someone! I love that about the mission. Sometimes its good to have our faith stretched and its ok to feel feelings of discouragement but we just gotta keep going!

Last thing. I read a talk this week called The 4th missionary by Elder Corbridge. If you can find it I want you to read it because I think it applies to just life in general. It really made me want to be a better missionary and change my life to be more like my Savior! A thought from his message...

"You have a choice. You can choose what kind of person you will become...Ëverything is stacked in your favor to become like him." We choose everyday who we are going to follow but we ought to become like christ because,  I loved that. We always need to strive to become more like our Savior. 

SO homework for all of you. find that talk and read it!

Love you all so much and hope you have the greatest week. 

Hermana Freedman


Also Ed Sheeran just came on on the radio and im not gonna lie im pretty excited....everyone go enjoy some good (not efy) music for me.

July 27th - Week 8 I Don't Remember What Week I'm On!

Hey Everyone!!

This week was super awesome! Where to start...
We have been doing really well in the work (I think...but I don't really have anything to compare it too). We found 9 new investigators my first week! There is one family Marcela, Rodrigo, and their daughter Sofie, who I am really hopeful for. She is the English professor and it's always fun to talk to her. I am excited to keep teaching them, but they have been sick this week so it's been a while now.  Everyone has been sick this week so the last few days have been slow and we have walked around with no luck. 

We also have an investigator Gustavo who is awesome. His wife I hope will start listening because it would be awesome to have the whole family! Their son Alfonozo is 3 and he has some mental disabilities so sometimes it is hard to teach them because he requires a lot of attention and they are constantly distracted. But we are just having patience with them. 

Camila is also super great. She lives with her boyfriend (big problem here) and her daughter. She didn't answer the door when we went to pick her up for church this Sunday but we will try for next week. Like I said, there has been a bug going around here and tons of our investigators have been sick. 

There is a recent convert, Maria who just moved in the ward. She is about 85 I would say, blind, and from the South. She is here living with her daughter. We go to teach her and she is the sweetest. She calls me her gringa and I love it. Haha she is super old and wrinkly and to be honest she looks like that doll at Grandma Freedman's house that was made with the nylon stocking!!! Whenever we are with her I always think of that. 

We also have a new investigator Jeni. I think our first lesson with Jeni might be my favorite lesson so far. Wednesday we walked around all day with little luck. Nobody was answering their doors and 2 appointments had fallen through. At 8 we had an appointment with a future investigator Nicole, but she didn't answer the door. I was really bummed because the day had been hard, but we walked to plan b's house (Jeni) and she let us in. We started talking and she started talking about polygamy. There was a program that aired on the national TV this week about the LDS church and polygamy...people keep bringing it up with us. But anyways, she started telling us how she wasn't interested and just started arguing. We tried our best to assure her that we don't practice polygamy but with little luck. We asked to share a message and she agreed but i could tell she wasn't really interested. We prayed and the spirit was so strong. We shared the plan of salvation and she had tons of questions and was really receptive. At the end we bore testimony and the spirit was definitely present. It was amazing to see her heart soften during our visit and it was a really great experience. She still has a few doubts but in time we can help her out. I love how the Lord works, when we are prepared he puts people in our paths! Had our appointment with Nicole not fallen through we wouldn't have been able to meet with Jeni!

There is a less active family we have really been working with and they have started coming to church! And now all 3 are getting callings! It's awesome and I love them. They really trust us as well and they feel like my family here in Arica. We are tyring to help them prepare for the temple now which is awesome.

The bishop in our ward is incredible! I don't know if I will ever have a better bishop while on the mission. He is really young, 30 or so but is working so hard with the missionaries. He has only been bishop for 2 weeks now but it was crazy to see the difference in the ward my first week compared to my second. They had an FHE this week and the attendance was super great! He also is working super hard to get everyone to the temple and has organized trips to Cochabamba, Bolivia for September and February. 

We had interviews with President this week and I love the Daltons. They are fantastic! I also love how I can understand their spanish because they speak really slow. Thats always nice. haha

Not much else happened this week that I can think of. Hermanas Clawson and Roldan brought us completos home the other night so that was fun. We all had completos together and planned. Really though, personal opinion, Chilean food is super bland but here in Arica there are lots of Preuvians and Bolivians so those meals at members houses are soooo good. 

Today we went and visitied the morro here in Arica. Its a big tourist spot and it's a historic site. I think its where Chile won over Peru in the war of the pacific. I couldn't understand what the plaques and stuff said so I'm going with my best guess. 

I am looking forward to this next week! On Thursday Hermana Espinoza is going to Antofagasta for training so I am going to work with Hermana Carrabine for the day. Her companion is going to go with Hermana Espinoza to Antofagasta. I don't know what president is thinking because Hermana Carrabine is in her second half of training so we are two gringas that don't speak Spanish but it will be an adventure. Also it will be fun because we were in the same mission prep class at BYU!!! Such a small world. It will be fun to go see a different. sector. 

Spiritual thought of the week, Mosiah 4:27-

"And see that all things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore all things must be done in order." I



love this scripture because it totally applies to my life right now. There are always things we can improve on but it is important to rememeber that as we are diligent the lord will help us improve. As long as we are trying our hardest, we will always be doing enough.

Hope everyone has a great week!

July 20th - Week 7 Arica, Siempre Arica

Hola Everyone!

I have so much to write today!!! My last week in the CCM was amazing. I loved every minute of it. We got to go contacting one day which was fun and then the next day we went on splits in Santiago Este. That was a great learning experience. Sunday night the mission presidentes from Santiago Sur spoke to us. They are incredible!!! Also sunday night me and my hnas made cookie dough just from a mix at the store and sat and ate it in our room. It was a fun little pow wow before we all went our separate ways. 

Tuesday morning we all left for our different missions. It was really sad to say bye to Hermana Kleinman but i'm sure she is doing great things in Concepcion Sur. There were 8 Hermanas (4 gringas and 4 latinas) and 4 elders (2 gringos and 2 latinos) that all came up here. Our flight was good and we met up with one more hermana who was coming from the Argentina CCM. The Daltons picked us up and we went and took a picture at this landmark place. I think you got the picture. We stayed at the mission home Tuesday and Wednesday got our assignments. It was a 12 hour bus ride from Anto to Arica and I was with Hermana Espinoza and then 2 other sets of Hermanas and their trainers. 

I am serving in Arica, with Hermana Espinoza. It is a weird situation becasue she is a Sister Trainig Leader and usually there is a companionship of STLs and you never train while you are an STL so that has been kinda crazy. But I just consider myself an honorary STL or a STL possibly in training haha. I think it will be a good experience as hard as it is sometimes. Hermana Espinoza is 20 I believe and has been out for 14 months. So she is getting close to her death bed. She says FETCH all the time and I really don't like it and I better not pick up the habit but I just have to laugh about it because she probably says it so much. I think in time we will be able to do great things together. She speaks no english and currently the language is a little bit of a barrier...but in time. 

Thursday morning was good. We studied and went out for a bit but then at 6 we had to go to the bus terminal because we had a conference in Iquique on Friday. So a 5 hour bus ride thursday night and we got to Iquique at around 4 am. We went to the chapel and "slept" there till 7. The conference with Elder Zeballos was super great and I actually understood quite a bit. My zone had a musical number. We took a 5 hour bus back to Arica at 3 and worked for the rest of the night. 

Saturday was good. The mornings are hard because everyone is asleep. We really need investigators but we gotta have time to work. Hermana Espinoza has had a lot of other responsibilies this week which has made the work hard. Saturday night we had a lesson with Marcela who I love. She is an English teacher and I got to bear my testimony to her in English which felt so nice!!! I remembered what it feels like to actually tell someone exactly what im thinking. 

Sunday was good. I like the ward. Sunday night we found a new investigator, Camilla so that was exciting!!!! The people here just let you in and open up so quickly it is crazy. 

Im pretty sure I learned a different language in the CCM. I don't understand anything here...in time. Sorry if this email was too vague I have a lot to say and not a ton of time!!! 

Spriritual thought! 3 Nephi 5.13 I believe...We are disciples of Christ and have the responsibility to share the gospel so find opportunities to do it!!!

Love you all!

Hermana Freedman

July 14th - Week 6 Antofagasta Here She Comes!!!

Catie did not have a P Day this week because she flew today from Santiago to Antofogasta.  She is now officially in her field of service, even though we do not know where she will be within her mission or who her companion is.

Below is a letter we received from President and Sister Dalton who preside over the mission:

¡¡Saludos de Chile!!

We are pleased to inform you of the safe arrival of Sister Catherine Mary Freedman in the Chile Antofagasta Mission. We are thrilled to have Sister Freedman serving here with us.  We were able to pick her up at the airport today and enjoyed getting to know her.

Thank you for the sacrifices you are making and the support you are giving to her while she serves. We know she will appreciate the support she receives from home and you will be blessed for having a missionary in the field. We have attached photos of Sister Freedman taken in front of our signature Antofagasta landmark, La Portada, with the city of Antofagasta in the background.

If there is an email address other than the one this email was sent to that you would prefer that we use and put in our records, please let us know by replying to this email.  Attached to this email is a document about communicating with your missionary, I know it is long, but it has important information.

We have created a facebook group for parents/guardians of our missionaries where we can put information.  The major purpose of this group is to have it available as a way to contact many parents at once in case of an emergency in the mission.  To join the group, please find “Hermana Sandra Dalton” on facebook and send me a friend request. Please do not send a request to join the mission family group, just a ‘friend’ request and I will add you to the group.  This group is only for parents, not for other relatives or friends of our missionaries.  If parents do not have a facebook page I can accept the friend request of ONE relative or other contact person, preferably an adult.  If this is the case the person sending the friend request will need to send me a message telling me their relationship to the missionary.

The Lord is hastening the Work of Salvation and this is an amazing time to be a missionary.  Sister Freedman is needed here and we are so grateful she has chosen to serve a mission, we can tell she is going to touch many hearts and change many lives, helping many to come unto Christ.  We will care for her as if she were our own.

With much love,
President & Sister Dalton
Chile Antofagasta Mission

July 7th - Week 5 Santiago MTC

Well first off! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILLY! I hope you have the best day. I'm thinking about you here!

Not much happened this week and it went a little slower than usual but only one more week left so I can do it!!! We got a new classroom because we got a new transfer of missionaries and we had the biggest classroom but there is a district of 12 now so they needed the space. That new district has 11 elders and 1 hermana. She was the only North American to come so good luck to  her....

Last pday was fun. We went and got completos as a district and then I went with my comps and we got gelato. So yummy. I think we are going to go get lunch and ice cream together again today. 

Fourth of July was so much fun here!!! Our district all wore red white and blue and so did the rest of Chile! Everyone loves America. It's just a fact. Kidding, really the finals of the Copa america were on Saturday night and Santiago was insane all day. We have a window out to the street and it was so loud all day. Presidente let us watch it and the 3 hour break was awesome. It went into PKs before Chile won!!! It was a big deal because next year is the 100th anniversary of the copa america, so 25 copa Americas and this was Chile's first time winning. Next year they are holding a special 100 year copa america in the states!!!!! 

I don't want to brag...but....we are kinda the coolest district in Chile CCM history. Presidente keeps telling us he wants to retire our number and has given us the motto "gone but never forgotten". Sorry the keys don't work like normal. Then Hna Doll had a dream about our district last night. I'm just going to pretend its because she loves us but its probably safer to say she has been ready for this 6 weeks to go by more than we have. 

This past Sunday was my first Sunday in solo Español.I actually could understand most everything but they speak super slow here. I bore my testimony again in sacrament meeting and it was really cool to see my progress from week 1. I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn but i'm getting there. That night at the all the north americans sang the star spangled banner and that was fun. I also shipped my bag off to Antofagasta so that was crazy. I can't believe how fast time here has gone.

Yesterday at the park those two girls Daphne and Rosia that we played soccer with last week were there again so we stopped and talked for a while which was fun. The people here are super chatty and I love it! Makes my job a lot easier. 

This week should be fun. WE go contacting tomorrow and then on splits on Thursday so that will be awesome and good practice for the field on Tuesday!!

I don't remember if I told you but we got 2 new investigators. I JUST FELT AN EARTHQUAKE!!!! FIRST ONE SINCE I GOT HERE!!!! But anyways back to investigators. Matias I love and he is just so fun to teach it's like a really fun challenge. Our other one Milagros is so hard because she doesn't have any apparent needs and we have talked and talked to try and find one. But yesterday we had a terrible lesson and after our teacher suggested maybe we teach the restoration. It clicked that the first time we taught her I kept feeling like I should teach the restoration  but I ignored the thought. Now after lesson 3 she is telling us she needed the restoration! I learned a big lesson to always follow promptings. I think one thing the cmm kinda had me thinking was that its bad to teach the restoration 1st because there's no way that the restoration could address their need. I definitely learned wrong but I'm gladIi learned that lesson here in the ccm. So spiritual thought for the week. Always act on promptings!!! The Lord knows what he is doing. 

This is my last pday here at the ccm!!! And next week I don't think I get one so I'm not sure when I will write you next but I love you all! Thanks for the emails and prayers! Have fun at pageant family and look for every missionary opportunity you can!!

Love,

Hermana Freedman
