Holas…
I am forwarding some pictures from 18 de Septiembre in Santa Sabina. It is lie the 4th of July but way cooler because they get sooo into it. They all dress up like traditional Chileans and there are 2 types…the elegant dress up and the peasant one. I dressed up like a peasant one and my compañera like the elegant one. It was pretty awesome! It was probably my most fun day on the mission. We brought a lot of people with us and it was good for people to get to know the church and the members.
Besides that everything else is going just great. Hermana Egbert and I are just trying to stay warm in these last few days of winter: ) Oh and I am sending a pic of us with Suyai, this girl we are teaching as well : )
Besitos a todos en los EEUU: )

Feliz Septiembre: )
So as this week marked the beginning of March (which is the month in which Chile celebrates it’s independence) everything here is now decorated red, white, and blue (there flag has the same colors). It’s really cool to see them all get so excited for the big celebration (the 18th). I’m looking forward to celebrating with them.
I am still very happy to be here in Santa Sabina. The ward is absolutely amazing and there are parts of this city that remind me a lot of North Upland...so I feel right at home. The sector is a lot smaller than the one in Constitución but the city is a lot bigger. The work is way different...finding new people to teach and teaching them, etc. Their needs are just so different than the needs of the people in Constitución. And since I was their for 9 months, it was kind of hard to adjust. But I feel like I am finally getting the hang of things and I am really excited because I feel like there is a LOT of potencial here.
Well I hope everyone is enjoying the fall!

Hello!
So we have been VERY blessed in Consti with amazing sunny weather for the past few weeks! Yay! I am sure that there will be rain this winter but it’s just coming later.
So I found out today that I am staying in Consti for another 6 weeks! That means I will be here for 9 months…half my misión! But I am excited and a little nervous. Mostly because my new companion will be a brandnew one! Which means that there will be 4 of us again in Consti. Crazy. I will know more about her net week.
This week we made bread with a family we are teaching. We made it without a bread machine, without a mixer, and without even an oven!! We honestly put it over a fire we built ourselves! It was awesome!
I am sending a picture of Cecilia who we have been sharing with. Her pololo (boyfriend) is there with her. They met becuase of us! Haha.
Well I love and miss you all!

Hello!
So this week was a very busy week. We had 8 baptisms on Saturday which made for a lot of work. It rained a ton that day and I was so nervous about how everything was going to turn out but everything was well planned out and it went beautifully. I am sending a picture of everyone together. I am also sending a beautiful picture of the amazing family that we have been teaching. They are so great! Although they were already an amazing family before we ever taught them, their lives have improved a ton for having accepted the Gospel in their lives. The Dad, Edgardo has changed a lot in particular. He has learned to be a more loving and kind husband and father. Their family is absolutely beautiful and I am so blessed to have been able to share with them.
Juan is another man who is in the big group picture (all the way on the right). He is the owner of the pool hall here in Consti (all of the jóvenes in the ward are excited about that!). It’s crazy how he has changed his life as well.
Well the work is good and I am happy to be doing it! Thanks to everyone for your love and support.
