Bueno, casi nadie me escribió esta semana, sino Dad y Grandma y Grandpa, gracias por su fielidad. Pero no tengo nada nueva para decir, entonces voy a escribir en español porque no importa si pueden entenderme y quiero practicar. Todavia estamos trabajando con la familia Sandoval, y tenemos 6 otros familias en que estamos enfocadas. Tuvimos un milagro esta semana, en serio, fuimos por la casa de un contacto y ella no estaba, pero su hermana estaba. Enseñamos la Restauración y ella nos dijo que nosotros somos la respuesta a su oración. Ella estaba orando y orando la noche antes por paz y entendimiento, y de alla, nosotros estabamos allí. Nos dijo que sentió el Espiritu con nosotros mucho y que quiere leer y orar sobre José Smith porque ella está buscando una manera a acercarse más a Dios. Ella es de oro, en serio. Tenemos un otro investigadora quien es de oro también, ella tiene MUCHOS preguntas. Ella estaba esperando este Evangelio, la unica problema es que tiente tantos necesidades que no sabemos dónde empezar porque cuando enseñamos algo, ella pregunta algo que tiene que ver en un otro principio. Es super buena, pero es muy overwhelming (I don´t know that word in Spanish) a pensar y planear por nuestras lecciónes. Pero es la obra! y es buenisimo. Soy super feliz.
Ok, so seriously, this week was really awesome. I ended up singing the soprano part for the coro on Sunday, but the cooler part was that we did it again on Wednesday in the plaza downtown as part of the concert put on by the city. Amazing. It was weird because as we were waiting to go on stage I couldn´t believe my luck that I come all the way down to Chile as a missionary to live my dream of being on stage and singing in front of hundreds of people. It was a strange feeling, somewhere between being Jamie and being Hermana Gebara, but I loved it. I´m glad it´s over because I had to sing a high A flat and my voice was getting really tired, but I loved it. Someone took a video of it, I´ll try to find it and send it to you. Hermana McShane and I sang "O Holy Night" in a zone activity this morning at a Christmas party for a school. yeah, we´re doing lots of singing. Of all the things in the world, this would probably be what would distract me most from the work we´re doing, but I´ve been trying to be really good about staying focused on being a missionary and not a singer.
Tonight we´re having a sleepover with the girls in Ovejeria and Hermana McShane promised to make french toast in the morning, and then our whole zone is getting together for lunch at the mission home, and then I´ll get to talk to you! Tomorrow is going to be a good day. I already opened the presents because I didn´t know if the other girls were going to get anything so I didn´t want to make a big deal out of opening things on Christmas morning. It´s a good thing too because I´ve already been able to use some of the stuff. (Grandma and Grandpa- the poptarts were a brilliant idea, thank you SO much, the other missionaries were super excited when I told them I got some!)
