I will find another...

will find another...

Last week in the market, I bought 3 pounds of strawberries for 2 dollars. Hahaha I was literally in strawberry heaven all week long! And guess how many strawberries I have today? NADA. Let´s right.



Hermana Hansen and I have been doing servicio for every member de consejo del barrio. On Saturday, we did "spring cleaning" with the primary president in her house and her non-member husband was rockin out to 80´s music the whole time. It was actually really fun! And I didn´t realize it til then, but I actually miss spring cleaning haha.




My great moment of the week was companionship inventory...chunchunnn... Nuhh, just kidding. The first cambio that Hermana Hansen and I had together, we both felt like we were missing something...like there was just something off that we couldn´t figure out. And then on Thursday during companionship inventory, for the first time, Hermana Hansen really opened open. She told how she was feeling about herself, the mission, us...about everything. And as she was talking I realized that me and her are way similiar that it´s almost crazy. And I also realized that I had had a few of the same experiences as the ones that she is passing through now. I was able to comfort and listen and counsel her. In that moment, I really felt like we jumped a hurdle...and now we are ready to run the sprint. Since Thursday, it´s been a different spirit in our companionship..more unidad, amor, paciencia, understanding. I am just so grateful for the companions that I have had, have, and will have. I know that they are literally selected by God to be with me where and when they are. What a blessing!




Love always and always,

Darn you 80's Classics...

Welp it´s always an exciting way to start out the P-day crying and scaring random Chilenos that are next to you. I am so very very sad about Smores. I really did cry....a lot. I am going to miss him so much, but I am so so so beyond grateful that he wondered up to our porch one day, cause he has literally changed our family..por lo mejor! He was our little stinky angel cat :)

Sidenote: Satan is a sneaky fella. Wanna know why? 80´s music, that´s why. Justo, hoy día, the internet tienda guy decided to listen to a bunch of 80´s clasics...like the good ones. Stinkin Satan. But I am being strong and tryin not listen...no se preocupe..don´t y´all worry.

Also, so you don´t worry.. Yes, I have a weird mouth infection thingy, but I have going to the dentist and getting xrays and taking anti-biotics and all that fun jazz, so I hope I´ll get better soon cause I love my teeth!

I actually had a really long informe to send to Presidente today so this is pretty much all the time I have to write you guys..sorry :/

At the end of the week, I am so grateful for the trails that God blesses us with..cause if you endure well, we always come out the other end changed and better and happier..and closer to Him. I am so so grateful that we have such a perfect Heavenly Father.

Love always and always,

**Mom, can you send pictures of our house? Hermana Hansen wants to see!

Splat go the blueberries...

All of these Hermanas were Abigail's companion through out her mission:

Her Latino Sisters!

Bad news of the week: We went "market hunting" and finally found a cheap farmers market type thing that sales blueberries and strawberries for cheap. (cause in the grocery shore its like 5 bucks for a teeeeeeeeeennny container.....ya ain´t buyin those suckers!) So we were walking in the town center about to cross the main road and I was trying to rearrange my berries so that I didnt have so much in my hands, and suddenly PLOP..my bag broke open and my carton of deliciously cheap blueberries splattered everywhere. I felt like I was gonna throw up cause I was so sad. A good 8 blueberries survived...so I guess I´ll eat those later today..haha.

Random side note of the week: The micros (buses) here all race one another on the road in order to pickup the most passengers before the others can.. haha. It makes the public transportation a lot more interesting to use...but some times we are a little scared for our lives. A little road rage always does spice up the journey!


Good news of the week: I love being a missionary. The reason (for this week) why I love being a missionary is cause as Christ´s representative, I literally feel His love for His children. Like I´ve said before, I look at them and the spirit just fills me up and I almost start crying when I try and tell them of the love that God has for them. It has been one of the greatest blessings of my mission...being able to show the love of God towards His children. It really makes me feel like an effective hija de Dios. And I know that in turn the people feel the love of their Savior...what better way to live!

"God Bless America, Darlin!"...

En el lunes pasado, we made root beer floooooaats!! I was so beyond excited. We went to the grocery store like normal and suddenly, there was A&W root beer and I literally freaked out and bought it. And I enjoyed every single sip/bite of my float :) AND Hermana Hansen carved a pumpkin for Halloween! It was an eventful day.

I love my district leader. We literally have the best district leader ever. He really cares about our success, pero más allá que solo numbers. He prays and fasts and tries to follow the spirit to help and lead every one of us in his district. And he´s newer in the mission (6 meses), so he´s really nervous and funny still.

But something that happened yesterday was that Hermana Hansen and I kinda ended the semana a little down hearted and a little of that stuff for how the semana had gone and our work and all that jazz. And we were talkin to Elder Passey (LdD) about it, and he really gave us inspired advice in order to feel better. Su advice: fast more frequently and "mix things up funky". And he ordered us to start it right then by mixing up our beds/changing their placement. He said that sometimes, ya gotta change up the routine so you don´t get disanimated and routine-y. So now I am happy to announce that Hermana Hansen and I invented a new system of bunk-beds and so we now have bunk beds haha. But I am excited to "get funky with it" and enjoy this week!


Crazy John. A crazy abuelo chileno with a greencard for the States contacted us the other day. And he was telling us about how he lived there and all that, and Hna. Hansen and I would say "wow, are you serious" (ya know, just to be like wow that´s cool), but I guess he didn´t understand and so after we would say that we would yell at us and say "why don´t you guys believe me?! I´m not a liar! here, look at my laundry bag..it has english words." Haha and than afterwards crazy John got in a taxi to leave, but as he was leaving he rolled down the window, stuck half his body out, and shouted "GOD BLESS AMERICA, DARLIN...drive drive drive!" And then he drove away.

Just goes to show that every day can be an adventure.

I pray for y´all siempre.

Love always and always,
