La Lingua 10

....
Can it really be the 10th week that has gone by here in La Ligua. I feel really connected with this branch here, and I dont think I ever want to leave.... so sorry to all those who wanted me to come home, I think I shall stay here a while... Now I just have to explain that one to Presidente Kähnlein... haha

We had a good week, although with lots of different things going on, we didnt teach quite as many lessons. We also had a few different service acts, so that was good! I have done more service in this month than I have in almost all my mission! but I love it! haha I love to get out and show people what I learned best from my home, how to run a shovel! So it has been good! and no new sun burns... other than the one I hada few weeks ago. woops. haha

Then on friday we had special district leader counsel in Viña (did I mention how much I missed Viña?!?! Gosh I love that place!!!! I always feel SO excited!!!!). It was great! They basically did what they do for the zone leader counsels, but for all the district leaders! It was great to see all my MTC district again! Although we were missing a few, but it was still awesome!!!! In the meeting we talked a lot and it was awesome because we all are leaders and working hard to get the mission excited and exploding with success! And so we all have the same vision, or at least in the where abouts and so the spirit was so great there! I loved learning everything, and I love seeing all the great elderes that we have in this mission!!! We even did some practices that were just spiritually uplifting, because we all had good attitudes about it, and that changes everything!!!! Then it was just great in all!!! Then we had to hurry home and well lets just say the meeting was over at 330pm, so we got back... at about 8pm. Not really a ton of time, but enough to go and give a blessing on Karen y Mauricios new house!!! We are so excited for them because they just have so much desires to follow Jesus, but they are a little nervous about getting married. So we are just working with them.

Then on sunday we had a special conference and Presidente Kähnlein came with the stake leaders from Quillota and well *announcement* La Ligua and Cabildo are now going to be apart of the Quillota stake! So the members were all very excited and we are very excited! It was cool to be there on the historic day! and we got a picture with everyone and well we were all just so happy!!! So felicitaciones a La Ligua y cabildo!!! Woo hoo!!! There shall be many great things to come from this!!!

Its been a great week for the spirit! and I know that God as blessed us! We gotta keep working hard so that we can meet all our goals. Well I hope that everyone takes on the mission tradition I did with my trainer a year ago. *TURKEY TROT* gotta run it hard!!! Loves to everyone on your awesome turkey day!!! Chao!!!
