Hola hola! This week has been the hardest week of my mission. However, it has also brought the most powerful lessons, I am so grateful the Lord has give me this experience. Lets get into it
Alright so to start off my week, my companion returned home. It's personal, I'll keep the details to minimal, but basically it has stuff to do with his family moving to the States and him needing a visa. We had 1 day to prepare, and that day was about as hectic as a day on the mission can get. Lots of tearful goodbyes with the branch, one family gave us a huge pan of Pichanga for din din. Pichanga is a pan filled with fríes, chicken, salchicha (lots of salchich as per usual,) pickles, hard boiled eggs, and yellow Peppers and it is sooo good. Anyways, that night Elder Collado packed. In the morning, the AP's picked us up and dropped me off to stay with the Llanquihue Elders.
I was super nervous because Elder Collado knew our Area better, and we have been having a lot of success lately. Lots of success = lots of amigos and lessons that I was now doing on my own. Definitely felt the gift of tongues this last week helping me take care of Fresia over teléfono jaja. We had 7 lessons that first day, and Elder Batty and Elder Stanford were able to help a ton despite not knowing the amigos in Fresia at all.
The next day we traveled to Puerto Varas to meet up with the Zone Lords, where they told me I would be living with them for "algunas dias" while everything was figured out. So, we got my stuff and traveled to Alerce! I love the Zone lords, Elder Miller and Elder Boysen, and they have been able to help me manage Fresia a ton. I've just been kinda vibin in their area since, splitting the work between Alerce and Fresia. It's been a weird mix, covering Fresia remotely with phone lessons and then teaching in person lessons in Alerce, but it's been fun.
Anyways, this week had been super hard but also such a blessing. Lots of lessons learned and lots of milagros. I could not take care of an area on my own, let alone doing it remotely and while working with another area, but the Lord can. This is truly the Lord's work. This week I've studied the song "Consider the Lillies" and the portion of the sermon on the mount that it comes from, and have realized that truly this work is prepared and organized by the Lord. Having doubts about our own ability to do his work can help us improve, but it is also a lack of faith in the Lord. The Lord knows how to work with imperfect servants, it's all he's ever had!!! As long as we seek the kingdom of God, todo va a estar bien. I'm not sure why all of this has happened, but I am grateful for the lessons learned and know that whatever happens, Fresia will be taken care of.
Anyways, twas a long one but love y'all!
