Dear Family,
Imma be honest: this week was kinda lame! I got sick AGAIN!!! It started Saturday night and I'm still frickin' sick. It's honestly a miracle I'm out and about. I had to stay inside Sunday except I went to church to take the Sacrament and direct a youth musical number (just a hymn, nothing special, but no one here can direct music save a couple other people in the ward).
One cool thing, though, was that while I was home from church I just decided to watch the entire district (2) which is half-inspiring and half-depressing because you never get such amazing members or ward leaders like they show in the district because we're in Chile and that just plain out doesn't happen here.... at all. But I was feeling like I should pray for some more members to go out with and for stronger leadership. The next day we were able to do a correlation with our ward mission leader (which is usually very hard to make happen) and he had all of this newfound enthusiasm! He was saying how he wants to meet up TWICE a week to go over things and is coming out with us to an FHE with a new part-member family that just moved in! He's never gone out with us before so that was awesome! Also, yesterday, our 21-year-old elders quorum president called us to see when he could go out with us for lessons as well! Prayer works people!!!
We have also been getting pounded by new rules recently. We can no longer listen to any music that is not published by the Church, so pretty much EFY and Motab from now on. And also, we have to be in proselyting clothes to go buy groceries or write emails at public cafes. This one is especially rough because we have to walk everywhere and usually our sports-orientated p-day activities are about 20-30 mins away, so we now have to walk back home, change, and go walk an extra 25-30 min to our local Líder (Walmart) to buy things and write emails. We may consider taking a change of sports clothes just in our backpacks from now on. So that, plus the whole *not leaving the mission thing when you're the smallest mission in the world* is a bit of a bummer now! Anyway that's really all that's worth sharing this week... The end of my training is coming up real soon!!!
Love you all,
-Elder Sierra
