Hello Everyone!
What a week it has been! I feel like this week went by so slowly,
but here we are once again, Monday. This week there was aton of rain! It
rain really hard for like 10 minutes, then there is sun and then the
next day it is just raining all day... last week Sister Nielsen and I
walked to our District Meeting at our church building and we got there
soaking wet, like rain was dripping off our skirts... Yes, we had
umbrellas, but there was wind and there isonly so much an umbrella can
do. Anyway, we made it through and we are praying that the rain stops
until next winter and we can have sun :)
Last night Sister Nielsen and I were sitting and talking and the
light went out for just a second and we both gasped, but it came back on
and we thought we were safe, until the lights went out again and didn´t
come back on. What?! We talked a little in the dark and saw that it was
at least everyone in our builiding and then I remembered that we have
candles, so we lit two candles and walked around with them. But without
energy, that means you don´t have lights, you can´t use the outlets, and
such, but also that you don´t have hot water, so Sister Nielsen took a
very cold shower (I showered before the power went out :) ). We had some
fun and took pictures too, of course to remember the good times :) But
it came back on later at like 11, so it was all good :)
Yesterday at almoço I tried this new thing called Chimarrão. I
attached pictures, but it is basically like herbal tea, you just pour
the herb stuff and VERY hot water and drink it out of what looks like a
straw, but not because you have to try really hard to get it to come
out. It is tradition in the south, but some people have it here and I
loved it and now I want one :) It looks a little strange, but it is so
good :)
Also this week I saw a woman that I taught when I was here in
Antares the first time. I don´t know if you remember from when I was
with Sister Martin, but it was her and her daughter and it was the first
baptismal date that I marked. She was not baptized, but we taught her.
What I left the first time, I always wondered what happened to her and
this past week we were walking down the street, I saw her and she made a
loook with her face that was like Ís it really her?!´ We talked and she
was SO happy to see me. She caught me up on the past 7 months and told
me that we made a difference in her life when we were here before and
that she is so grateful to us. I was almost moved to tears to hear this-
that we helped her and that she remembered me because looking back now,
I have no idea how anyone understood what I was saying and would
remember me, but she does! It is no nice to know that I leave an
impression on people and that I can make a difference.
I know that this church is true and that the Atonement really does
change lives. I know that Jesus Cristo is our Savior, that He lives and
loves each on of us.
I hope you all have a great week! I love you and miss you!!
Com amor,
Sister Chilson
