This week was super crazy. Seriously, I know I say this alot, but one of the craziest of my mission.
I don't even know where to begin. Haha
This week we had to go to Victoria which is like an hour out of Temuco, because we had to do Splits with the Hermanas there! We had to bring baptismal clothing for them, because they didn't have any. We put it in a bag, hopped on a bus, and took off. We both fell asleep pretty quickly on the bus (17 months will do that to ya) and so we woke up abruptly when we arrived in Victoria, and without thinking, had to get off the bus super quickly. WELL. We may or may not have left the baptismal tunics on the bus. OOPS. We began to make call after call trying to find the bus and we had zero success. It was crazy because we had borrowed the tunics from members here so it was just kind of a mess..
When we arrived at the bus station in Temuco the next day, my companion says, "hey hermana poyfair, lets see if the tunics are here."
I looked at her and said, "hermana, why would they be here, the bus left temuco and i'm pretty sure it wouldn't have come back here."
She said, "I don't know hermana, but i just wanna check."
welp Wouldn't you know it, they had the baptismal tunics and everything there waiting for us. it was SO GREAT AND SO CRAZY. Anddddd I learned a super cool lesson from my companion about how we need to trust in our first impression from the Spirit and not doubt them. I felt a little lame after for doubting my companion, so I've put lots of goals for this week to not doubt and just GO WITH IT.
Also this week i think it started to hit me a little bit that in just one month from now I'm going to be home. My mind started to get a little crazy and I started to get nervous because I feel like I haven't finished my purpose here on the mission, I don't feel like my spanish is good enough, I just felt like i needed more time to become the missionary I always wanted to be!
And, coincedentally, President May happened to be in town for interviews. He told me that all missionaries feel like that, and that its normal. And he told me that God was really proud of the work I had done, but that I still had a month to become the best missionary that I can be.
a month is a long time, right?
Cintia (our investigator) came to church yesterday and it was super great. she is AWESOME and feels great about her baptismal date for the 17th of june WOOOO
I love you all! have a great week!
hermana poyfair
